They used to have a close relationship with her in the past, but Phillip Schofield’s daughters have reportedly unfollowed Holly Willoughby on Instagram.
Molly and Ruby Schofield have decided to unfollow This Morning’s Holly on the platform in an apparent show of support for their dad, just days after he did the same.
They used to participate in girls’ nights out with Holly during their extended summer breaks at adjacent villas in Portugal’s Algarve region.

The Schofield sisters had been close to Holly for years, as both Molly and Ruby were in their teenage years when their dad started working together on ITV.
A source told the Daily Mail: “Both Molly and Ruby have seen their father go through hell, they have been at his side as he has lost everything.
“Meanwhile, by following Holly on Instagram they see her carrying on with her life.
“The whole scandal has taken its toll on them, their support for him has been unwavering and this is the final nail.
“They are staunchly loyal to their dad, despite everything that has gone on.”
30-year-old Molly had, in fact, a longstanding professional connection with Holly as she served as a talent agent at YMU.
Holly was represented by this talent management agency until 2020, when she departed due to a legal dispute regarding her future earnings.
Phillip does continue to be a follow Kelly, Holly’s sister, on Instagram, while Holly currently still follows Phillip.
But Phillip no longer follows Holly on Instagram anymore, choosing to step away from her on the platform earlier this week.
Holly admitted it’s been “really difficult” after Phillip’s scandal when she visited the National Television Awards for the first time in 13 years without him on Tuesday (September 5).
Speaking to Daily Star and other press on the red carpet, she said: “If I’m really honest it’s been up and down.
“I think it’s been a really difficult year for everybody but what’s lovely is, you find that people rally around you and the goodwill is there. People want things to move on.”
Phil and Holly’s friendship seems to have dissolved following his exit from ITV in the wake of his affair with a younger male employee at This Morning
