This Morning fans spot Ruth Langsford’s ‘obvious disdain’ for Phillip Schofield after NTA win
THIS Morning fans claim to have spotted Ruth Langsford’s “obvious disdain” for Phillip Schofield as they collected an National Television Award last night.
The pair took to the stage along with Holly Willoughby, Eamonn Holmes and the crew to accept the gong for Best Daytime show.

Clutching the award, Phillip said: “We are always massively, massively proud of This Morning and our family and our team.
“What was amazing for us was, every single day, because of the brilliance of ITV, we could stay on air and we could be there. We felt like we were everyone’s comfort blankets, but for all of us, you were our comfort blankets too.”
Making a special mention of his co-star Holly, he added: “Thank you for that, thank you for being there with us and also thank you to my best friend.”
Holly then took over and said: “This morning is an incredible team, and we are lucky to just be one cog in the wheel. We just wanted to give you a normal morning, thank you for voting, it means the absolute world.”
None of the other presenters got the opportunity to address the audience.
Watching at home, one viewer wrote on Twitter: “It’s quite clear that the Ruth and Phil rivalry lives on and I am THRILLED #NTAs.”

Another posted: “I can’t help but love Ruth’s obvious disdain for holly and phil’s lovey dovey stuff. What a queen.”
A third said: “Ruth and Phil pretending they don’t hate each other every year check #NTA.”
Ruth and Phil have put on a united front in the past year, with them putting on a friendly display at the same event last year and Ruth also comforted Phil following his emotional coming out speech on the This Morning sofa last year.
Their rivalry dates back to 2019 when Ruth filed a complaint with ITV after being upset by Phillip cutting her off abruptly during a link with her in the Loose Women studio.
