Speaking to Gaydio, Kim said she "didn’t feel sorry" for Phillip and thought he'd had the This Morning gig for "too long".
She said: "Give it to somebody else who is nice and friendly. When somebody is rude and nasty and vicious, which he’s been with me, I can’t feel sorry for him.
"He’s had 20-odd years of earning over £1 million a year. He’s had the job too long."
Kim also added her thoughts on Holly, adding that she believes its time for the 42-year-old host to leave her daytime job.
She explained: "I don’t think she will have a choice."

Kim, who has previously appeared as a guest on This Morning, also spoke of her time on the morning show: "You could tell he was king on that show. I mean, he was really ruling the roost. And whenever I’ve been on with him, he hasn’t been very pleasant.
"He wasn’t pleasant about my experience on Big Brother. He was downright nasty. He was sniggering at me."
