<\/p>\nPhillip Schofield has unfollowed his former best friend and This Morning co-host Holly Willoughby.<\/p>\n
The former ITV host took himself off Holly's follower list on Instagram ahead of the NTAs later tonight.<\/p>\n
It will be Holly's first awards show without Phillip, after he left both the show and ITV altogether in May.<\/p>\n

As a result, the unfollowing seemingly confirms that all ties have been cut between the two former pals.<\/p>\n
However, Schofield continues to follow Holly's sister Kelly, whilst Willoughby still follows Phil on the social media platform.<\/p>\n
Holly is set to join the star-studded line-up at the NTAs, set to be held later on Tuesday evening (September 5).<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The blonde bombshell, 42, is giving her moral support to co-host Alison Hammond, who received a nod for Best Presenter.<\/p>\n
As well as this, This Morning itself is up for a gong as the Best Daytime show, going up against other shows including The Chase and Loose Women.<\/p>\n
But despite having presented the show herself for over a decade, Holly has been snubbed in the Best Presenter category for the last two years.<\/p>\n
It comes just days after Willoughby returned to our screens on the ITV titan after an extended summer break.<\/p>\n
Holly chose to take extra time off from the show in the wake of the scandal that engulfed the show and co-host Phillip.<\/p>\n

The pair's relationship was already rocky after Phil's brother had been jailed for child sexual assault offences.<\/p>\n
But the former duo's friendship was officially severed after he left the ITV show in May.<\/p>\n
It later emerged after Phil opted to leave the programme that he had an affair with a much-younger colleague whilst he was married to his ex-wife Steph.<\/p>\n
In interviews conducted after the scandal went public, Schofield apologised for his actions, but defended himself – adding the affair was "unwise but not illegal".<\/p>\n
Holly is currently co-operating with an independent internal inquiry set up by ITV into the scandal.<\/p>\n

Previously, Phillip and Holly had more success at the NTAs, presenting the morning show the day after the ceremony in the clothes they wore to the event.<\/p>\n
After winning Best Daytime Show in 2016, the pair looked worse for wear as the show went live on-air.<\/p>\n
They later explained that they had no been home since the end of the awards show.<\/p>\n
