Vanessa Feltz’s six-word response to Phillip Schofield question at NTAs after their meet-up

The pair were seen hanging out and enjoying dinner

| Updated:

Vanessa Feltz found herself quizzed about her meet-up with Phillip Schofield shortly after he left This Morning under something of a cloud.

TV favourite Vanessa was on the red carpet at the National Television Awards when she was approached by a pesky reporter who asked about pictures of her meeting up with Schofe.

And Vanessa, who appears on The Wheel this weekend (March 16), had quite the response.

Vanessa Feltz quizzed about Phillip Schofield

Last August, Vanessa was spotted enjoying dinner with her former This Morning co-star.

The pair were photographed at the Little Bird restaurant in Chiswick. According to MailOnline, they had quite the animated catch-up and even shared a hug as they bid their goodbyes.

You will have to ask him.

According to reports, this became quite the talking point as Vanessa appeared on the NTAs red carpet weeks later.

People seemed desperate for an update on Phillip, who has largely kept out of the public eye since his dramatic departure from This Morning and ITV.

A reporter from the Daily Star even apparently greeted Vanessa by asking how Phil is doing. To this, she reportedly responded – or rather, refused to respond – to this in her usual blunt style. She said: “You will have to ask him.”

Well that told them, eh!

‘Blessed’

Vanessa was not the only one to be grilled on the topic of Phillip Schofield at the swanky awards do, though. As could be expected, his name apparently cropped up many times for Holly Willoughby. She was attending her first NTAs without him by her side.

In spite of This Morning losing their 13-year winning streak, and boos from the audience, Holly nevertheless put on a brave face.

Deflecting her questions about Phil a little more gracefully than Vanessa, she spoke about how things “feel good again” on This Morning.

“It all feels good again. I just want to the future to continue as it is,” she said. “We are very blessed we have a great team of people, we really do.”

We all know how that one ended up…
