Holly Willoughby hits back at Eamonn's claims with cheeky comment about friendship

dailyrecord.co.uk:

Holly Willoughby appeared to clap back at Eamonn Holmes' brutal claims about her friendship with Alison Hammond as she made a cheeky remark on This Morning today.The 42-year-old was joined by presenter Craig Doyle, who became the second host this week to replace Phillip Schofield.Last week, Eamonn, who used to present This Morning on a Friday with his wife Ruth Langsford, accused Holly of "faking" her friendship with fellow presenter Alison in a bombshell interview.Eamonn suggested that their 'sudden' friendship "wouldn't have happened 13 years ago".However, Holly seemed to clap back at the claims in a comment sparked by Josie Gibson's appearance on the ITV show today by the Kennet and Avon canal.Josie told Holly and Craig: "Stick with us over the next few days because I'm going to be on my own canal boat adventure and tomorrow is Best Friends Day, so my friends better be ready!

Got a canal boat waiting for you..."Holly responded: "Aw, enjoy that! Think of all the friends getting on the canal with her.

The canals are about to get even more dangerous, Craig!"Craig asked Josie: "How many of you are going, Jose?"Josie replied: "Well, I've been trying to round them out but Alison can't make it, Holly's obviously in the studio, so I've got one or two."Holly interrupted, smiling: "Alison can't come because she's at mine tonight!

That's what I do know!"Eamonn told Dan Wootton on GB News: "This nonsense about Holly Willoughby and Alison Hammond as her best friend and [Holly] was at Alison's birthday party...Alison Hammond goes to Holly Willoughby's select nights out with her friends."This wouldn't have happened two years ago.
