I've watched some clips on YouTube of last week's Holly & Phil. Clearly they're still being professional, but there's zero chemistry there compared to when both of them were at their peak in the 2010s. Think the Alan Partridge/Jennie Gresham paring from This Time, but it's real rather than fiction.
Now compare that to Dermot and Alison on Friday. They really do seem to gel together and their body language shows their friendship.
To be honest, I've never been a fan of the Phil & Holly pairing, it was designed to boost Phil's tenure on This Morning after Fern Britton left and Holly was a willing participant in it, but clearly she wants to enhance her career and the moment the pair were accused of queue jumping, the shine went from both of them which has devalued both of their worth as presenters. So I think Holly is trying to damage control it by not being so friendly with Phil to preserve her career.
