PHIL SCHOFIELD ‘GOOD TIME TRANNY’ HIT BY THIS MORNING RUMOURS I’m losing bookings hand over fisting

THE polish coming off Phillip Schofield isn’t only affecting the one- time golden boy of telly.

Because claims that the 57- year- old This Morning presenter is at the centre of an ITV civil war is throwing a spanner into tranny lookalike Phillipa Blofeld’s works, too…

Phillipa – the stage name of former Sunderland van driver Vince Harris – has made a pretty penny over the years with a tranny tribute to the one- time kids’ TV host.

And over the years the cross- dressing turn has spiced up her act in front of bellowing gay club audiences which

TRIBUTE: Phillipa in stage gear has at times included on- stage masturbation, fellating exciting punters and even indulging in eye- watering FISTING.

But with the real Phil embroiled in alleged spats with other ITV stalwarts, Phillipa is finding the bookings drying up.

She said: “The whole point of my act is that Phil was supposed to be this real goody- goody and I was like his dirty, cross- dressing alter ego.

“But as it’s come out that Phil is perhaps not the angel everyone thinks, the whole paradoxical crux of my act is now in jeopardy.

“People are cancelling left, right and centre – I can only think it’s because of this ITV business.

“I just hope that Phil comes out of this smelling of roses because I’ve got a big gig at a Berlin scat dungeon in March and if th at falls through, I’m f** ked.”

It’s been claimed that Phillip’s professional relationship with close friend Holly Willoughby has become strained in recent months.

And This Morning’s Friday edition presenter Ruth Langsford has also reportedly made an official complaint against Schofield.

Eight star ITV presenters have spoken out about what they describe as a “toxic” environment on the This Morning show.

It follows Britain’s Got Talent judge Amanda Holden’s allegation that Phillip got her banned from presenting on the show.

Phillip and Holly’s most recent bust- up was over his apparent jealousy when she won a Bafta in May for I’m a Celebrity where she filled in for Ant McPartlin — but he didn’t want her to celebrate the win on This Morning.
