Kim Woodburn is calling for Holly Willoughby to be FIRED from This Morning in another devastating attack

Kim Woodburn has launched another blistering attack on Holly Willoughby, calling for the presenter to be sacked from This Morning.

Appearing on GB News on Monday, the former celebrity cleaner, 81, was asked her thoughts on the scandal that swept This Morning following Phillip Schofield’s revelations that he lied about his affair with a much younger man.

Holly, 42, made her return to ITV on Monday after two weeks off the air and kicked off the show by addressing the departure of her former co-star in an emotional monologue.

When Dan asked Kim, “Do you believe what Holly had to say this morning?” she replied, “Absolutely not, she’s a little bitch.

“Why did she have to say he was telling lies? It’s done and said, he’s lost his job. Why is she rubbing it in? She should be fired.’

Dan then commented, “But she said she didn’t know, Kim. How can you prove she knew?’

She replied, ‘But what did she know? To be fair to Phillip, if a man is the right age, what should he apologize for?

“So until we know, we can’t really say much, can we? He had an affair as a gay gentleman with a gay man.’

When asked by Dan why she had such a problem with Holly, Kim replied, “Look, I’ve worked with Holly, I’ve sat on the couch with them three or four times.”

“I never liked the way she acted and I never liked the way she opted out of everything — I couldn’t stand it.”

Woodburn – who has carried out several attacks on Schofield and Willoughby in recent days – previously expressed her views on whether This Morning should be scrapped.

She mused, “I have very mixed feelings about that. A nice morning show with families and mothers sitting there is nice…

“This show is so tainted and dirty. I don’t want to see it go off, but I think it should.

“I think it should come back in a different format with other people. It’s so screwed up by Schofield, but let’s not give up and start over.

“It needs to be removed and revised, and a decent show put on again.”

While Dan Wootton noted that Holly has asked to relaunch the show on her own next Monday, Woodburn replied, “I bet she does that little b***h, I bet she does.”

She added, “In all the years she’s been on that show she’s never taken part, all we hear is “oh Phillip” hahaha.

She helped and supported him to take a big paycheck, to get shot from that little b***h. Wimpy, limp little woman, she won’t be missed.’

Holly is reportedly determined to fight on to keep her spot on the bench, despite the chaos in the program.

She is paid £730,000 a year for the presenting gig, but has a growing business empire, estimated at £10 million.

Holly told This Morning viewers “we gave our love and support to someone who wasn’t telling the truth” as she returned to the show for the first time since Phillip’s departure.

Phillip left the show after admitting last month that he had an extramarital affair – which he labeled “ill-advised by not illegal” – with a colleague.

He insisted Holly was unaware of the affair. In an interview last week, he said Holly ignored his messages apologizing and begging for forgiveness.

While teasing the segment about workouts, Holly insisted she give “everything” to the workout, while Josie giggled about working on their guns.

Holly seemed relieved to have moved on from the beginning of the show, making the statement while fighting back tears and discussing her boyfriend.

In her full statement, Holly said, “Hello there. Good morning. Josie [Gibson], Thanks for your presence. Right, take a deep breath. First, are you okay? It feels very strange to be here without Phil.

And I imagine you may have felt as I did—shocked, distressed, disappointed, concerned for the well-being of people on all sides of what’s going on, and full of questions.

“You, me and all of us at This Morning gave our love and support to someone who wasn’t telling the truth, who acted in a way that they themselves felt they should resign from ITV and quit a career they love. That’s a lot to process.

And it’s just as hard to see the toll it takes on their own mental health. I think what unites us all now is a desire to heal for the health and well-being of all.

“I hope that as we begin this new chapter and return to a place of warmth and magic that this show holds for all of us, we can find strength in each other.

And, from my heart, I can just thank you for all your kind messages. And thank you for being here this morning. Myself, Josie [Gibson]Dermat [O’Leary]Alison [Hammond]Craig [Doyle]and every person who works on this show will continue to work hard every day to bring you this show that we love.”

Before the show aired, friends of Phillip’s said he wouldn’t tune in to see Holly’s return to the bank as it would be too “triggering” for him.

In his interview with The Sun, he apologized to Holly for lying to her about his relationship, saying, “I’ve lost my best friend.”

He added, “I let her down. I missed that whole show. I disappointed the viewers. Holly didn’t know and she was one of the first texts I texted to say, “I’m so, so sorry I lied to you.”

“She didn’t answer and I understand why she didn’t answer either. So yeah, if anyone links Holly to this in any way, it’s absolutely, not true at all.’

The duo have co-hosted the show since 2009 and also co-hosted Dancing On Ice.

Holly’s return comes as the ITV show has been plagued with ‘toxicity’ allegations, including from former This Morning presenter Eamonn Holmes who claimed there was a ‘total cover-up’ over the Schofield affair.
