Loose Women star Ruth Langsford has seemingly made a thinly veiled dig at Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield’s ‘feud’ as she hosted the ITV lunchtime show today

Loose Women star Ruth Langsford has seemingly made a thinly veiled dig at Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield’s ‘feud’.

The presenting partnership have been hit by rumours that their friendship outside the show has ‘cooled’, which caused Phil to issue a lengthy statement to insist all is well between the pair and that had both had a few tough weeks but were still firm friends.

Many have since seemingly referenced the pair’s ‘feud’ as well as what might happen on the show in the coming months and weeks, with those including Fern Britton and Rylan Clark seemingly making comments in relation to it.

Ruth was the latest to seemingly make a dig at the pair’s feud today, as the Loose Women panel discussed dating. They were asked if they would let someone set them up with a friend, with Coleen Nolan revealing she would gladly let them all set her up.

“I would trust all of you to pick a blind date for me – well would I?” Coleen said, before hesitating.

Ruth said she should trust her, before quipping: “We might be feuding at the time!” leaving the others in hysterics.

It wasn’t made clear by Ruth if she could be noting the current ‘feud’ between Holly and Phil, or if she could have been referencing reports of a feud between some of the Loose Women star backstage.

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 insider said: “This Morning’s relationship with its viewers is built on trust, and they have to believe that Holly and Phil’s friendship, and what they’re watching, is real. While there was a bit of noise and speculation about their relationship cooling, it could have easily been ignored. But by putting this statement out there, he has turned what was a manageable situation into a feeding frenzy.
