TV presenter Holly Willoughby has appeared to suggest that Kim Woodburn’s explosive row with Phillip Schofield was “FAKE” and possibly put on for the cameras.
The Celebrity Big Brother star appeared on Monday’s This Morning to discuss her time in the house.
But host Phillip Schofield got more than he bargained for when it lead to a feisty exchange between himself and Kim.
It ended with Kim branding Phil a “big phoney”.

The internet went into meltdown over the row and viewers were left cringing in disbelief over the row, which left poor Holly awkwardly giggling throughout.
But, when the show went off air, Holly and Phil apparently saw a completely different side to the How Clean Is Your House star.
Holly said: “She was fine. She lent across and said, ‘I do like you Phil, I do like you’. Then she said, ‘It’s all good telly’ and I thought, ‘Maybe she is just being very clever’.”
She added: “I was a bit scared. I could see her getting bigger and more upset and it was bubbling and growing and she was getting a bit cross. Phil didn’t say anything he wouldn’t have said to anyone else.
“To be honest and I don’t really know what happened, I didn’t watch Big Brother this series so I hadn’t seen any of that happening in the house and hadn’t seen she had the potential to go.”
But what about Phil? After all, he was the one to “spat-off” with the feisty 74-year-old.
Holly explained that he shrugged it off like nothing had even happened. She said: “You never have an intention to upset somebody or make them cross or make them have that sort of reaction, you never want to do that.
“But he felt, as did I, nobody had said anything we wouldn’t have said to anyone else.”
The video of probably their most awkward interview to date, went viral.
On Wednesday’s This Morning, showbiz correspondent Rylan Clark-Neal laughed: “She just kills me!” and Phillip replied: “She nearly killed me! If she could have got past Holly she would have done!”

As the laughter continued, Rylan added: “Literally I was standing there and I thought: ‘This is the end, this is how it all finishes, one of them is going to end up out the window in the Thames.'”
The presenter then went on to say: “What I love about Kim Woodburn is she has sparked so much online content from the second she has walked into the Big Brother house.
But when Rylan suggested bringing Kim back, Phillip looked horrified.
Rylan suggested: “When I’m on holiday should she fill in for me?”
He added: “I want someone to pay her a lot of money just to come in and pipe up. Like she’s sitting watching the show but she’s with us.”
With a slight look of panic on his face, Phil said: “Can we do that in a few weeks though? I’ve had enough for the time being.”
Later on, Kim defended her explosive outburst by saying that host Phil had “pushed her buttons”.
