Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield hold hands amid 'tense' This Morning moment at NTAs

In light of the claims, ITV representatives confirmed to Express.co.uk that no complaint was made.

Phillip credited Ruth and her husband Eamonn Holmes in his acceptance speech at the event.

He gushed: “Eamonn and Ruth your Fridays are fantastic. We love you so much. You should say something team.”

The small-screen star then handed the award over to Ruth, as she took to the mic saying: “Thank you. 10 years wow, what an achievement. It’s an absolute honour for us to go on that show every single day. We love it because you love it. And you’re the people that vote for us.”

This Morning airs weekdays at 10am on ITV.
