Michaela Strachan has been accused of “trolling” Holly Willoughby over her statement on Monday’s edition of This Morning.
Michaela’s “trolling” came during Monday’s show (June 5) edition of Sprinwatch.
What did Holly say on This Morning?
Monday saw Holly make a return to This Morning for the first time since Phillip quit the show – and then ITV – last month.
After taking a deep breath at the beginning of the show, Holly issued a statement. “Feels very strange indeed sitting here without Phil. And I imagine you’ve been feeling a lot like I have. Shaken. Troubled. Let down. Worried for the well-being of people on all sides of what’s been going on. And full of questions,” she said.
“You, me, and all of us at This Morning gave our love and support to someone who was not telling the truth. Who acted in a way that they themselves felt as though they had to resign from ITV and step down from a career that they loved. That is a lot to process,” she then said.
Holly’s statement has since come under fire from viewers.

After the clip was shown, Michaela seemed to poke fun at Holly’s speech from earlier in the day.
“Everyone was on the edge of their seats watching that, how is everyone feeling?” she asked.
“There is a lot to process isn’t there? Emotions are all over the place,” she then said.
