The comedian has been a long-term friend of the presenter
Comedian Leigh Francis says he has not seen long-time friend Holly Willoughby since the controversial resignation of Phillip Schofield from This Morning. Mr Francis, best known as the presenter of Celebrity Juice under his alias Keith Lemon, has been friends with Holly Willoughby for years.
But he now says he has not seen the presenter since Phillip Schofield stepped back from This Morning earlier this year. The departure from the ITV show came after it was revealed that Phillip had conducted an affair with a younger colleague on the programme, the Mirror reports.Speaking about his relationship with Holly since the scandal broke, Leigh Francis said: "The last time I saw Holly was on my birthday. I haven’t seen her since all the telly drama," he told the MailOnline.
"I'm guessing she still enjoys it, so I think you should leave a show when you don’t enjoy it anymore." The comedian's April birthday party was also attended by celebrities including Fearne Cotton and Emma Bunton at Soho's White City House.
