Phillip Schofield jokes about how Holly Willoughby acted as his human shield from Kim Woodburn after explosive interview
The This Morning host got into a feisty exchange with the Celebrity Big Brother star on Monday
PHILLIP Schofield has joked that Kim Woodburn wanted to kill him during her infamous This Morning appearance.
The Celebrity Big Brother star appeared on the show on Monday to discuss her time in the house, and it lead to a feisty exchange with the host, ending with Kim branded Phil a "phoney".
The interview sparked a slew of hilarious memes and on Wednesday, the 74-year-old's name cropped back up again during a chat with showbiz correspondent Rylan Clark-Neal.
Rylan laughed: "She just kills me" and Phillip replied: "She nearly killed me! If she could have got passed Holly she would have done!"
As the men laughed alongside co-host Holly Willoughby, Rylan added: "Literally I was standing there and I thought ‘this is the end, this is how it all finishes, one of them is going to end up out the window in the Thames'.
Rylan then introduced a new video by The Hook which features clips from the interview mixed with Destiny’s Child’s track Independent Women Part I.
Phillip declared the mix was "genius" before Rylan said he hoped it wasn't the last they had seen of Kim on TV.
Holly said: "Of course it won’t be."
Rylan then had an idea, saying: "Get her on here, I’m going to start a campaign, wouldn’t it be lovely to have her sat here."
As Phillip pulled a face, Holly asked what Rylan wanted Kim to do if she came back on the show.
She suggested: "When I’m on holiday should she fill in for me?" as Phil looked at her with horror.
Rylan replied: "I’d like her to get a little chair, and have it just next to the couch and have her sat there and when you’se are doing your interviews she can sit there and just go ‘don’t’ be stupid lovey’... you know just like pipe up.
"I want someone to pay her a lot of money just to come in and pipe up. Like she’s sitting watching the show but she’s with us."
With a look of mock panic on his face, Phil said: "Can we do that in a few weeks though? I’ve had enough for the time being."
As they laughed, Rylan replied: "We’ll start in the summer with Ruth and Eamonn."
