    The course continued: “Holly adores This Morning and for the first time in 14 years she has made it clear that should Phil ever leave she would want to stay. They are separate entities.

    “To those around them on set, it has become clear recently that Holly and Phil are not as close as they once were.

    “Professionally you would have no idea there was anything going on because on camera they are acting exactly the same.

    "But behind the scenes their relationship has cooled. Before there would be a lot of banter and camaraderie off-camera but that has dwindled.”

    The Sun was also told that despite them both going prior "rough patches" before, that they've been able to work through, this time it "seems different.”

    Though Phil also released a statement and told the publication: "We’re the best of friends — as always, she is an incredible support on screen, behind the scenes and on the phone.

    "Holly has always been there for me, through thick and thin. And I’ve been there for her.

    "The last few weeks haven’t been easy for either of us."
