Holly Willoughby was brutally mocked by BBC star

Michaela Strachan appeared to brutally mock Holly Willoughby on BBC's Springwatch.

On Monday's edition of This Morning (5 June), the long-running presenter started the show off with a statement to the viewers where she addressed the departure of her colleague Phillip Schofield.

She said: "Right, deep breath. Firstly, are you ok? I hope so. It feels very strange indeed sitting here without Phil.

"I imagine that you might have been feeling a lot like I have – shaken, troubled, let down, worried for the wellbeing of people on all sides of what’s been going on and full of questions.

"You me and all of us at This Morning gave our love and support to someone who was not telling the truth, who acted in a way that they themselves felt that they had to resign from ITV and step down from a career that they loved. That is a lot to process."

Viewers online have been quick to make their own quips in judgement at Holly's on-screen words.

But fans thought that a new celebrity, Michaela Strachen, also took the opportunity to poke fun at the embattled ITV host as she spoke to the camera on BBC's Springwatch.

Michaela exclaimed: "Everyone was on the edge of their seats watching that, how is everyone feeling?

"There is a lot to process isn't there? Emotions are all over the place."

Viewers were quick to point out certain similarities between the pair's statements.

One viewer commented: "Did Michaela just do a Holly Willoughby with ‘How’s everyone feeling? It’s a lot to process’?"

A second questioned: "Was @michaelastracha having a dig at Holly Willoughby with that 'is everyone okay?' comment. I like to think she was."

Whilst a third fan wrote: "Michaela Strachan trolling Holly Willoughby on Springwatch was easily the highlight of today."

And another penned: "Michaela using the how you feeling, a lot to process analogy much better and much more relatable than Holly."

This came after Amanda Holden appeared to take a swipe at Holly Willoughby in her latest outfit of the day post, following her fellow blonde's return to ITV.

Amanda said in her video: "Hello! It is Tuesday, are you ok?"

Amanda has had a very public feud with Holly's now former co-star Phillip for a number of years, after it was reported that he stopped her getting a stand-in spot on This Morning.

And recently, a clip of Amanda discussing her frosty relationship with Phil resurfaced after he quit ITV.

Amanda's radio co-star Jamie Theakston asked her about the feud in the older clip, after it was claimed Phil preferred to work with Rochelle Humes who was "easier to manage".

"I've moved on from it, Jamie," Amanda said. "You need to move on from it."
