She's more than set the record straight

Holly added: “The show changes so much, I think that’s the beauty of This Morning.

“Recently it’s had the highest ratings it’s had in 15 years. It’s doing really, really well which is extraordinary for a show that’s been around for as long as it has.”

She also revealed just how she feels about working alongside co-host Phillip Schofield.

“I’m very lucky to work with Phil. I can’t imagine a world without him being there. It just wouldn’t be the same.

“The magic of that show is us two together when we’re together. Co-hosts like that don’t come along very often. So when they do you have to hold tight.”

She added: “I do really love him. I really love him. We’re lucky, we really are.”

Holly then appeared to allude to rumours that the pair hasn’t always seen eye to eye.

“I’ve read those things, too. It hurts sometimes, because it’s so unfair and untrue, so it’s difficult sometimes,” she blasted.

“We’re just incredibly lucky.

“So no, I’m not retiring, that’s a really long answer,” she said.

What is said to have happened between Holly and Phil?

Holly recently addressed the “difficult time” she went through following claims she was feuding with Phil.

Reports claimed in late 2019 that the This Morning pair were caught up in “toxic” situation affecting the ITV show.

One tabloid even suggested the relationship between the two stars had become “strained”.

However, Holly revealed that despite reports floating around about them, both she and Phil “knew the truth”.
