Phillip Schofield has defended his This Morning co-host Holly Willoughby over an article questioning her presenting capabilities.
Responding to news that Willoughby has earned an estimated £10 million from her TV gigs and endorsement deals, television agent Jon Roseman wrote in the Daily Mail that she doesn't have "a single flicker of talent".
Roseman suggested that she is a "bimbo" hired as "eye-candy" so broadcasters can appeal to advertisers. He also stated that she lacks the depth shown by presenters he has represented in the past, such as Anne Diamond and Fern Britton.
"Just in case you ever wondered what was so wrong with television today, you need look no further than presenter Holly Willoughby and the news that she is on her way to amassing a £10 million fortune," Roseman wrote.
"How has she done it? Not by showing a single flicker of talent, that's for sure. Can she ask a searching question?...
