Was Holly Willoughby one of Phillip Schofields three s***s of showbiz? Disgraced star appears to pile further strain on relationship with co-star as he continues to rant about This Morning on Cast Away

Phillip Schofield has appeared to put further strain on his relationship with his former co-presenter and best friend Holly Willoughby after ranting about three s***s of showbiz on his new desert island documentary.

Phillip Schofield has appeared to put further strain on his relationship with his former co-presenter and best friend Holly Willoughby after ranting about three s***s of showbiz on his new desert island documentary.

The disgraced presenter makes his TV comeback tomorrow in Channel 5 survival show Cast Away, which sees him fend for himself for 10 days on a remote island paradise, located off the coast of Madagascar.

During the three-part programme, the 62-year-old takes aim at those who betrayed him 16 months ago when he quit ITVs This Morning after admitting to having lied about an unwise, but not illegal affair with a much younger male colleague. 

In the programme, which airs from Monday, Schofield appears to blame his dramatic fall from grace on a trio of his former ITV colleagues, saying: I think there are only three s**ts [of showbiz].

He pointed out that one was a coward who never stepped up in Queuegate, while another is a coward because they never stepped up when I was being battered.

In a clip obtained by The Sun, Schofield claims the third is just brand-orientated, adding: Not what you expect, not what you think youre going to get.

While Schofield does not name any individuals, speculation has mounted that he could be taking aim at Willoughby, who he doesnt mention at all throughout the series.

Another is thought to be This Morning editor Martin Frizell - who Schofield seemingly blames for letting him take the fall over Queugate, when he and Willoughby were accused of skipping the queue to see the Queens lying in state. 

Schofield, whose career was left in tatters after he admitted to lying about his affair in May last year, no longer follows Frizell on social media. 

Other targets could include ITV chief Dame Carolyn McCall, who labelled Schofields relationship with a younger staffer as deeply inappropriate.

Continuing to take aim at those who he believes wrong him, Schofield added of his formerly long-standing TV career: They know how important that was to me.

They know when you throw someone under a bus, youve got to have a really bloody good reason to do it. Brand, ambition is not good enough, reports The Sun.

He went on: People can be fake. They can be so fake with you when its all going well, and suddenly utter, utter betrayal.

There are a lot of amazing people in morning television.

Despite mentioning ITV Co-stars Ant, 48, and Dec, 49, as well as Joanna Lumley, 78, his former pal Willoughby isnt mentioned at all throughout the episode.

In one outburst which will leave viewers wondering whether it is aimed at her, Schofield says: When you throw someone under a bus, youve got to have a really bloody good reason to do it.

I got into telly because I love the nuts and bolts of telly, I never wanted to be famous. Im not fussed about that.

I miss parts of it. I miss most of it, Im honest. But there are bits that I really, really, really dont miss. You learn a lot about people. I dont miss that.

The disgraced presenter revealed this week he was taking part in his own survival show just 16 months on from leaving This Morning.

Schofield is said to have turned down a selection of big money TV offers before choosing to sign up for Cast Away - which he believes will allow him to share his story in an unedited and honest way.

Willoughby left This Morning in October 23 after presenting the show alongside Schofield for 14 years.

Sources at the time said she quit because the show wasnt the same after her co-host left but was finally tipped over the edge by an alleged kidnap and murder plot, insiders have claimed.

Meanwhile, during the episode Schofield referred to ITV duo Ant and Dec as his best mates.

In May it was suggested Declan Donnelly had reportedly been trying to convince the former presenter to make a TV comeback, after the pair had a four-hour dinner together.

Joanna Lumley also featured, sending him a good luck message.

It comes after insiders revealed how ITV bosses are said to be furious at Schofield for claiming he would have been treated differently if he had had an affair with a woman rather than a man.

The disgraced presenter said he would have got a pat on the back it wasnt a homosexual relationship.

However, ITV insiders say is totally untrue to suggest he would have been treated differently because it was a gay romance.

During the show, Schofield refers to himself as the shamed, disgraced Philip Schofield, who had an affair.

The 62-year-old said: Strangely, I think another TV presenter or two might have done exactly the same thing. Difference is heterosexual. Its not an unusual thing in the gay world for there to be a difference in age groups.

Thats not that unusual in the straight world, but if that had been the case with me and it had been a woman. Pat on the back. Well done, mate.

Schofield said that he has regrets and acknowledges he got something wrong and hurt the people around him.

I dont know what price youre supposed to pay and whether the price youre paying is necessarily proportionate, he adds.

Hitting back, a source at the channel said: Its a stupid thing for Phil to say, and it is just not true. Phil lied to his colleagues, his bosses and his friends about it, it wouldnt have mattered if it was a woman or a man.

They add that Schofield is unlikely to work with the channel again despite his hints that he had been approached to appear on their reality show, Im A Celeb. One source said: He lied to us, it would be really, really difficult.

In the second episode of Cast Away, another clip shows Schofield declaring that he doesnt care anymore.

Sitting around a campfire, he says: Ill be slammed for this, Phillip Schofield mad rant [shakes his head]. But the thing is, I dont care anymore. I dont care. This is me having my say as I bow out. 

He describes claims of toxicity on the ITV show as utter b****cks.

I found out after I left that there are a few people in there that might be a little bit toxic, he added.

I never saw it ... when (youre) on the telly, you dont see stuff like that, youre protected from it, people dont tell you, so I had no clue.

Schofield says the toxicity tank is nearly empty after spending so much self-analysis over the past few years. Ive sort of analysed my head and myself and analysed everything.

MailOnline has contacted Holly Willoughby for comment. 

When Schofield left This Morning, she said: Its been over 13 great years presenting This Morning with Phil and I want to take this opportunity to thank him for all of his knowledge, his experience and his humour. The sofa wont feel the same without him.
