BACKSTAGE TENSION at This Morning

Viewers have picked up on a hostile atmosphere between hosting duos Holly and Phil, and Alison and Dermot

- 

The cast of This Morning always appear as one big happy family on screen, but is it a different story behind closed doors? Lately, there’s been talk of Alison Hammond and Dermot O’Leary replacing veterans Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield on a permanent basis – which may have the latter feeling worried.

Rumours of a feud began when Phil skipped Alison’s recent 48th birthday bash. Phil said he missed the party – which the rest of his This Morning co-stars attended because it clashed with his daughter Ruby’s birthday. But fans are convinced something deeper is going on.
