He went on to tell The Sun: “As I have said before, Holly is my rock. We’re the best of friends – as always, she is an incredible support on screen, behind the scenes and on the phone. "Holly has always been there for me, through thick and thin.
And I’ve been there for her.” However, as their alleged feud became public, “devastated” Phillip reportedly called Holly to discuss their fallout playing out in front of everyone.
