Lady Colin Campbell cruelly attacks Phillip Schofield for ‘living a lie’ before coming out
LADY Colin Campbell has launched a scathing attack on Phillip Schofield as she cruelly accuses him of “living a lie” before coming out.
The 70-year-old has lashed out at the presenter, 58, after their on-screen row on This Morning.
The tense war of words between the pair kicked off on the ITV show last week over Lady Colin Campbell’s controversial tell-all book on Meghan Markle and Prince Harry.
After Phillip branded it “tawdry and undignified”, Lady C slammed him as “ignorant” and has since reignited their feud.
But in a nasty turn of events, she has since accused married Phillip – who came out as gay earlier this year – of “living a lie”.
When asked on FUBAR Radio’s Access All Areas what her opinion of the Phillip is, the royal author replied: “Who? Is that something to eat, drink or flush?”
She added: “What do I think of him? Well let me put it this way…
“All I can say is anybody who’s spent most of his life living a lie is not somebody I admire.
“I gather it was very difficult… Now I don’t believe in outing people by the way, and if he wanted to lead his life privately and as a liar, that’s perfectly okay.
“But then don’t set yourself up as some arbiter of the truth when you’re the absolute opposite!”
The former I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here also claimed Phillip was left “looking like a fool” after he verbally “attacked” her on This Morning last month.

The controversial royal author said: “It got tetchy from the very beginning if I recall correctly.
“He attacked me and thought he was going to ambush me and that I would end up looking like a fool and he’s the one who ended up looking like the fool that he is.”
This Morning is facing 15 Ofcom complaints after the pair’s row on June 23.
A spokesman for Phillip Schofield declined to comment.
