Kim Woodburn has launched another blistering attack on Holly Willoughby, branding the presenter ‘useless’.

The former celebrity cleaner, 83, has reignited her long-standing feud with the This Morning presenter, 44, in light of Dancing On Ice being axed after 19 years.

Kim famously clashed with Holly and Phillip Schofield when she appeared on This Morning over her experience on Celebrity Big Brother.

Now, Kim has told Express Online that Holly’s success on ITV show’s This Morning and Dancing On Ice were largely due to her co-host Phil.

Phillip left ITV in 2023 following the revelation of his ‘unwise but not illegal’ affair with a much younger male colleague, with Stephen Mulhern then stepping into his shoes.

Kim quipped: ‘I’m going to say something to you, and I won’t change my mind. When a presenter gets a job, you always hope they will choose the right person for that job, and unfortunately, in my opinion, Holly Willoughby is useless.

‘For 14 years, Holly was on This Morning with Phil, and you tell me, any time that you can recall that she ever said to Phil on that show, “I’m sorry, Phil, I don’t agree with you!” Not once! She got a career on Phil. That is how she got her career and her money.

‘She was then on that Dancing On Ice, and she’s useless! Once again, standing hands together in front of her, saying, “Oh yes”. She doesn’t do anything! I mean, I had my problems with Phil, but let’s face it, he was extremely entertaining. But she got a job with Phil and turned on him, and her career.’

MailOnline has contacted Holly’s representatives for comment.

Kim previously called for Holly to be sacked from This Morning, calling her, ‘one little b**ch’.

When asked why she had such a problem with Holly, Kim responded: ‘Look, I’ve worked with Holly, I’ve been on the sofa with them three or four times.

‘I never liked the way she behaved and I never liked the way she opted out of everything – I couldn’t stand it.’

It comes after Holly snubbed long-time co-host Phillip as she broke her silence on Dancing On Ice’s axe.

Taking to Instagram, Holly shared a gushing tribute for the skating show and thanked all who worked on it in the past 19 years – however, she notably failed to mention Phil, whom she hosted the show with for 13 years.

Alongside a plethora of snaps from her time hosting the ITV programme, Holly penned: ‘A huge thank you to @itv, The brilliant team, Crew, Celebrities and Everyone who has been part of our Dancing on Ice family over the last 19 years.

‘Every year, just when January felt at its greyest, Dancing on Ice arrived like a burst of glittering, dazzling light, warm, joyful, and full of heart…

‘It has been an absolute privilege to work alongside true national treasures Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean, and to have a front-row seat to their breathtaking skating. Watching them glide across the ice was nothing less than pure magic…

A special thanks must also go to Arnica, Deep Heat, Spanx and fake tan, unsung heroes of the rink! … I will miss it hugely, but I count myself so lucky to have had it for as long as we did. Finally and most importantly, thank you to you for watching, you’re the BEST! …’

While Holly featured a selection of photos which included her current co-star Stephen Mulhern, as well as judges Torvill and Dean, Oti Mabuse and Ashley Banjo, there were no images of Phillip, 62.

The pair fronted the very first series of the programme in 2006 until 2012, when Holly took a break and was replaced by Christine Lampard.

The series was then rested in 2014 and Holly later returned in 2018 alongside Phillip when the series was revived.

Phillip left ITV in 2023 following the revelation of his ‘unwise but not illegal’ affair with a much younger male colleague, with Stephen then stepping into his shoes.

The former This Morning presenters’ long-standing relationship crumbled in the wake of the affair in addition to Phillip’s brother’s trial for sexual offences, with the extent of their bitter feud exposed since Phil made his TV comeback in Channel 5 series Cast Away, in which he referred to Holly as ‘one of the three s***s of showbiz’.

Holly was ITV’s Golden Girl for many years and carved out her place as the fan favourite face of its top shows including This Morning and Dancing On Ice.

However, Holly now appears to be taking her TV career in a new direction as she is now without an ITV show following Dancing On Ice’s axing.

She recently dashed ITV’s hopes that she would be their Saturday night star by turning down a lucrative deal to front game show You Bet!.

ITV sources told the Mail she was ‘busy with other commitments’ after Holly branched out to host Celebrity Bear Hunt in her first big role away from ITV.

It is the first time that Holly has not had an ITV show on her schedule for the first time in more than two decades after becoming the broadcaster’s TV darling.

She has long been a familiar face on both ITV and ITV2, hosting on shows including Surprise Surprise, Celebrity Juice, The Games, The Xtra Factor and I’m A Celebrity.

Holly is arguably best known for having fronted This Morning alongside Phillip Schofield from 2009 until 2023, while she also helmed Dancing On Ice from 2006.

However, ITV viewers now won’t be able to get a dose of Holly as there has not yet been any public news of her having signed on to another project with the channel.

MailOnline has contacted ITV and Holly’s representatives for comment.

But Holly could be looking ahead to an exciting new future with Netflix as she was said to have impressed bosses hosting new reality TV series Celebrity Bear Hunt.

Insiders recently revealed that Netflix are ‘very keen’ to work with her more on shows, which would be screened across the world after her debut on Bear Grylls’ show.

In a huge blow to ITV, Holly then turned down a lucrative deal to front a new series of the classic game show You Bet! because of her other commitments.

A source told the Mail: ‘You Bet was so popular with the viewers wished it came back for two shows that ITV bosses decided to give it a full run.

‘Holly and Stephen are a great double act and they were both brilliant so they were asked back.

‘But Holly politely declined, she has other commitments and couldn’t make it work.

‘She is in demand and now she isn’t shackled to This Morning four days a week, she is able to look at more options, some are global.

‘Celebrity Bear Hunt was a huge thing for her, her first role with Netflix and she just loved it and they loved her so there could very well be much more where that came from.

‘The world is now Holly’s oyster, there are so many opportunities for her.’
