Kim Woodburn has taken aim at Holly Willoughby in a shock new rant. The former Celebrity Big Brother star has reignited her feud with Holly following the axing of Dancing On Ice.

Amid Holly and former co-star Phillip Schofield’s dramatic This Morning fallout, Kim didn’t mince her words. She branded Phil an ‘obnoxious, horrible man, ‘ and Holly a ‘two-faced b***h ‘. Her outspoken outburst didn’t stop there as she claimed Holly had ‘plotted’ to get rid of her ITV co-star Phillip – after he admitted to an ‘unwise’ affair with a colleague and quit ITV.

Celebrity Big Brother star Kim also called for her to leave the ITV morning show months before she did in October 2023.

Speaking on Gaydio, Kim said at the time: “I don’t think she will have a choice [to leave]. She isn’t as nice as she makes out. When he is being rude to people she never once told him he was being nasty and she lets him do it and she aides and abets him. I think she should go, and I think she will go.”

Kim famously clashed with Holly and Phil live on This Morning, when they probed her about her time on Celebrity Big Brother. She claimed Holly and Phil made her feel ‘so unwelcome’ and ‘humiliated’ after her eviction in 2017.

Almost two years later, Kim hasn’t let it go as she launched into Holly once more. She claimed Holly’s ITV success was largely due to Phil, amid the axing of Dancing On Ice that she later hosted with Stephen Mulhern instead. “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,” she savagely said.

Kim ranted: “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!,” she fumed to Express Online. Kim admitted she has “had my problems with Phil” but insisted he “was extremely entertaining”.

Phillip stepped down from hosting duties after a 21-year reign on the ITV show back in May 2023. It came after he admitted to having an ‘unwise but not illegal’ affair with a younger colleague.

He announced his departure from This Morning amid rumours of a feud with Holly, who he presented alongside for over 13 years. The pair have dramatically fallen out since the scandal despite once being best pals.

Holly insisted that she knew nothing about the affair, having asked Phillip amid ongoing rumours in ITV in recent years. She continued to present the show after taking a break, but quit in October that year.

Kim blasted Holly’s future on the shoe before she quit as she said on GB News: “The game’s up. Everything’s out about him. It’s all been exposed. He’s gone.

“Now, the only thing I’m praying and hoping is that young Miss Holly Willoughby has the common sense to go. She cannot continue. You think of Phil, you think of Holly. All these years she’s worked with him. She’s heard him be rude in front of people.

“She’s seen him on the sofa upsetting people. She’s never once pulled him up on it. She should’ve told him to stop.”
