Why do we propagate this language? 'I've decided to step down' and [Holly] says the couch won't feel the same without him people there."Well she wanted him not there, so why is she moaning about the couch not feeling the same for?

They deserve each other."It was later reported Holly gave an "ultimatum" to ITV bosses following her feud with Phil.A source told Daily Mail: "It was basically an ultimatum, Holly won the war.
