What?!
Last updated 27th Mar 2019
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! 🙈

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.
