They are one of the nation's favourite TV couples, so when TV presenter Rylan Clark-Neal spoke about This Morning presenters Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield during his appearance on Good Morning Britain this morning, viewers were left in shock.

Speaking to hosts Piers Morgan and Susanna Reid, Rylan, who recently appeared on Celebrity Apprentice, spoke about Holly and Phillip's friendship.

When Susanna asked Rylan if the popular duo get on so well in real life, Rylan said, "Oh no they hate each other. Oh it’s awful up there! Yeah they don’t even talk to each other, it’s terrible.”

But don't panic! After the initial shock, viewers were quick to realise that Rylan was in fact joking about Holly and Phillip 'hating' each other!

PHEW! 🙈

Check out Phillip Schofield's career timeline:

1985: CBBC children's presenter

Phil's big break came as he presented the links between TV shows on CBBC, or children's BBC as it was called then. He did this from 1985 to 1987.

1987: Radio and Going Live!

Phil was also a radio presenter by this point, and presented Saturday morning children's TV show Going Live! from 1987 to 1993.

1992: Joseph and the Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat

In 1992, Phillip turned his hand to something completely different and appeared on stage as Joseph in the West End production, taking over the role from Jason Donovan. He performed this for five years.

2002: This Morning

Phil took to the This Morning sofa for the first time in 2002, taking over from John Leslie and presenting with Fern Britton. After she left in 2009, Holly Willoughby took up the reins, having worked with Phil on Dancing On Ice.

2006: Dancing On Ice

Speaking of which... Phil co-hosted Dancing On Ice from 2006 with Holly, before she left in 2011 and was replaced by Christine Bleakley until 2014 when the show went on hiatus. When it returned in 2018, Holly and Phil were back at the helm.

2006: The British Soap Awards

In 2006, Phil began hosting The British Soap Awards, and has been doing it annually ever since then!

2008: All Star Mr & Mrs

In 2008, Phil and his then-This Morning co-star Fern Britton began hosting All Star Mr & Mrs. When Fern left in 2010, Phil carried on until the series ended in 2016.

2009: The Cube

Phillip began presenting The Cube in 2009, a game show which saw contestants attempt to tackle the prizes inside the cube for prize money. It was GRIPPING. Sadly, it was taken off-air in 2015.

2017: Schofield's South African Adventure

Schofe got to travel around South Africa for a This Morning segment in 2017. Although there haven't been talks for another series, Phil did tell Lorraine Kelly that he'd "love" to do another one.

2017: 5 Gold Rings

He returned to the game show circuit in 2017, presenting 5 Gold Rings.

2018: Coronation Street

In 2018, Phil and Hol made Coronation Street fans very happy with a small cameo. As part of Rosie Webster's exit storyline, the pair interviewed Rosie, Craig Tinker and Gemma Winter.

2019: WeBuyAnyCar.com

On top of everything else he's doing, Phil also appears in adverts for WeBuyAnyCar.com - and his current campaign sees him playing with an ADORABLE puppy! Aww.

Of course, we know that the lovable duo are the very best of friends, and even enjoy holidays together with their families.

Enjoying time off from their busy presenting schedules, back in August 2018, Holly and Phillip went on holiday to Portugal together, and they weren't shy in documenting their trip on social media.

Holly delighted her fans on Instagram when she uploaded a photo of the pair having fun in a swimming pool. As Holly and Phillip posed for the camera, Holly captioned the playful shot with a number of emojis, '🧜‍♀️🧜‍♂️✨' sic

Holly and Phillip were joined on holiday by their partners and children. Holly was with her husband Dan Baldwin and her three children, Belle, Harry and Chester. Meanwhile, Phillip was joined by his wife Stephanie and his children Ruby and Molly.
