Kim Woodburn has sharpened her claws to lash out at Holly Willoughby - saying the This Morning host has been tarnished by her friendship with Phillip Schofield and she needs to quit the show too.

The 81-year-old How Clean Is Your House? star thinks 41-year-old Holly needs to be flushed down the This Morning toilet along with 61-year-old Phil.

The presenting duo had hosted ITV’s flagship daytime TV show for 14 years - before Phil sensationally quit on Saturday following months of negative reports about him, Holly and their friendship.

Kim had already hit out at the pair last week, branding Phil an “obnoxious, horrible man,” and Holly a “two-faced b***h” - and now she’s lashed out again.

In the wake of Phil’s shock resignation from This Morning, Kim told GB News that she thinks he has done the right thing.

But she also thinks that it is time Holly left the show too - suggesting the younger star is complicit in Phil’s toxic behaviour.

Kim said: “I think he realises his position is untenable. I think he has used common sense and he is gone.

“You could tell he was king on that show. I mean, he was really ruling the roost. And whenever I've been on with him, he hasn't been very pleasant. He was downright nasty. He was literally laughing at me sniggering at me.

“The game's up. Everything's out about him. It's all been exposed. He's gone. Now, the only thing I'm praying and hoping is that young Miss Holly Willoughby has the common sense to go.”

Kim said: “She cannot continue. You think of Phil, you think of Holly.

“All these years she's worked with him. She's heard him be rude in front of people. She's seen him on the sofa upsetting people. She’s never once pulled him up on it.

“She should’ve told him to stop.”

Not holding back, Kim then went on to slam Holly’s presenting skills.

She said: “She's not a good presenter. And if she thinks she can run that show, without Phillip she can't. She needs to go. “

Kim also said that Holly and Phil should have quit the series when a backlash against them erupted last year. They were accused of skipping a queue to see the late Queen Elizabeth II lying in state.

She added: “I was very shocked because the Queen of England was held in high regard, our Queen Elizabeth, she was a true Queen.

"And I could not understand for the life of me when they both were in press tags cutting across the grass.

"There were people in queues in wheelchairs who had been there six hours. It was rotten. It was rotten to the people that wanted to watch them every morning.”
