This Morning clash as Lady C brands Phillip Schofield 'ignorant' in fiery spat

Phillip Schofield was branded as “ignorant” by Lady Colin Campbell on today’s instalment of This Morning, as they discussed her royal biographies.

The 70-year-old appeared on the show to discuss her new book, Meghan and Harry: The Real Story, which will be released later this week.

However, as soon as Lady C joined the show via video call, tensions started to rise in the ITV studios.

Phillip wondered how Lady C gained access to royal informants after her controversial biography about Diana, which was released in the early 90s.

Lady C snapped: “That shows how ignorant you are if I may point out.”

She added: “My Diana biography was the most believable of all the biographies.”

Getting his own back, Phil called Lady C a “gossip,” as he quizzed her about the story behind her new book about Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.

Claiming to be a private person, Lady C said: “I do not leak like a sieve, I am not a Meghan or a Harry.”

Phil retorted: “But you are a gossip?”

Lady C replied: “Not when it suits me. If you had any respect for the truth you would be able to appreciate that.”

Closing the interview, Phil took one last swipe, saying: “We’ve got to leave it there, it’s been fascinating if a little patronising.”

On Twitter, viewers were left divided over the confrontation, as they witnessed the awkward clash unfold on their screens.

One asked: “How does Lady C get away with calling people ignorant?”

Though a second countered: “I watched this interview & I don’t think it was Lady C who was patronising…”

And a third joked: “I’d love to have heard what Phil said about Lady C during the ads…”

This Morning airs on weekdays at 10am on ITV.
