Holly Willoughby supports This Morning co-star amid claims of 'toxic' show environment
Holly Willoughby has sent a positive message of support to her This Morning co-star, despite ongoing claims that the ITV show suffers from a "toxic" work environment.
This Morning presenter Holly Willoughby, 42, has shared a supportive message with her co-star Dr Zoe Williams, 43, on social media.
Holly’s positive message praising her colleague comes after claims that their ITV show has a “toxic” atmosphere.
Taking to Instagram today, Holly celebrated her TV pal’s achievement in view of her 8.3 million followers.
On her Instagram story, Holly shared a photograph of herself holding the book You Grow Girl!, which Dr Zoe created.
The book, which was illustrated by Luna Valentine, is described as “the complete no worries guide to growing up”.
Holly added a pink heart sticker to the photo, before sending a sweet message to her friend in the caption.
“Congratulations to Dr Zoe Williams on the publication of her book for girls…” she wrote.
“So insightful and full of really important advice… Like talking to a friend.” (sic)
Dr Zoe is a trained and practised physician who rose to prominence as Amazon in the UK television series Gladiators.

She regularly appears on This Morning as the show’s resident doctor, offering a second opinion to members of the public that call into the show and commenting on currently relevant health topics.
Claims that This Morning has a “toxic” work environment have surfaced after Holly’s co-host Phillip Schofield’s explosive departure from ITV.
Phillip’s exit came after he admitted to having an affair with a much younger colleague while he was still married to his wife Stephanie Lowe.
The presenter has since apologised for lying about the affair, which he described as “unwise, but not illegal”.
An ITV spokesperson said at the time: “We are deeply disappointed by the admissions of deceit made tonight by Phillip Schofield.
"The relationships we have with those we work with are based on trust. Phillip made assurances to us which he now acknowledges were untrue and we feel badly let down.
"We accept his resignation from ITV and therefore can confirm that he will not be appearing on ITV as had previously been stated."
This Morning airs tomorrow at 10am on ITV1.
