Holly's chilled

She escapes Phil, Star keen to get furore with holiday back on to the sofa

- TOM BRYANT

THINGS may be hotting up at home as a barrister's review into Phillip Schofield's affair looms, but Holly Willoughby was playing it cool on holiday yesterday.

The 42-year-old This Morning star strolled along a beach in Portugal with ice pops in her pocket and a bottle of chilled water under her arm.

It was there where Holly found out Jane Mulcahy KC will carry out an external review into her former co-host's fling with a young show runner, which he covered up for years.

But pals said the presenter, due to return to This Morning on Monday, is relaxed about giving evidence.

It is the first time she has been seen in public since revealing last week Schofield deceived her over the affair.

A source said: "Holly will of course 100% co-operate with the inquiry should she be asked, as she has nothing to hide whatsoever.

"She has made crystal clear that Phil lied to her about his relationship with the runner, and is super-relaxed about giving her version of events.
