Holly Willoughby in snub to Phillip Schofield as she calls new co-host ‘the funniest person I’ve ever worked with’

Scots TV presenter John Leslie was the focus of a Channel 5 documentary this week charting his rise and fall.

Josie, who will be back on screens alongside Vernon Kay to cover the ITV show for the Easter break, opened up about her relationship with Phil behind the scenes and his hidden side.The 37 year old, who will stand in for Phil, 60, and his co-host Holly Willoughby from April 11 - 14, revealed: “So Phil, he is really funny.

Loose Women in 2018, the singer reflected on his unique hair style and said: “I had it all through university but it wasn't quite as white" and went on to joke that he was a "Phillip Schofield tribute act.”Despite being the favourite to win the show, the welsh singer made it to the final but lost out to Joe McElderry at the final hurdle.Due to the classical nature of his voice and the fact The X Factor is conventionally a pop show, the singer said he had “a great time” but was “surprised” to make it down to the final two.Although he wasn’t crowned the winner, Simon Cowell offered Rhydian a record deal and his debut album, titled Rhydian – gained platinum status in a matter of weeks.The album also earned him the title of highest selling male solo artist of the year, with 600,000 copies sold. Since leaving the show, the X-Factor finalist has undergone a dramatic transformation.Although the welsh star was a powerlifter at school and a strong bench presser, his buff physique was rarely shown off until a photoshoot in 2015.In the steamy shirtless snap, Rhydian showcased his ripped abs alongside his bulging biceps which looked worlds away from his X Factor days.In 2018, Rhydian opened up on Loose Women and revealed his struggle with body image in the past.He candidly said: "I did back at university.

When I had an ear infection, he was always checking up on me asking if I was alright - he's just lovely."Her kind remarks about Schofe come after viewers claim he gave fellow presenter Alice Beer a 'death stare' on air last week.When Alice told how Phil was about to turn sixty during an on-air segment he appeared to give her a disapproving look.Alice said as she discussed loyalty cards: "If you're over 60 - that's you tomorrow isn't it, Phil - you can get..." After Phil appeared to show his anger at her comments, she said: "Oh.
