Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby deny claims of a rift

Lots has been written about the state of Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby's relationship.

There have been between the This Morning presenters, but they have flatly denied there are any problems.

The pair were speaking during the launch of ITV's Dancing on Ice 2020.

Holly told Newsbeat that it would be "impossible" to do the job "without getting along".

And Phil said anyone who suggested they'd fallen out "was mistaken".

The couple have presented the morning show together for 10 years, and have even gone on family holidays together.

But there are been repeated claims about cracks in their relationship.

They were speaking just days after Ruth Langsford reportedly made an official complaint about Phil.

Earlier this year,   he came under criticism  from fellow ITV star   Amanda Holden  , who reportedly claimed Phil "cost" her a presenting role on This Morning - branding her "hard to manage."

He defended himself saying he hoped that his fans "know him better".

But when Holly and Phil were asked if it was true they were sick of each other, Phil replied: "We have such a laugh. We're best mates, she's like the sister I never had. I just adore working with her, she's just perfect."

Holly insisted "they were very lucky".

"You couldn't do the amount of hours of TV that we do with each other without getting on."

She also said when they take a break for filming in the summer, the pair "still go on holiday together. You'd think we'd be sick of each other".

Responding to the negative stories in the summer, Phil had tweeted: "The end of another really sad weekend. When you try for 35 years to be the easiest, most fun person to work with and you read such hurtful and wildly untrue stories from nameless 'sources'. Obviously I'll take it on the chin. I just hope you know me better."
