Comedian David Baddiel trolls Holly Willoughby trends now
Comedian David Baddiel has trolled Holly Willoughby over her statement on This Morning earlier this week after the Phillip Schofield scandal.
The star, 59, pulled apart her now-famous 'Are you okay?' speech which she gave as she opened the show on Monday with Josie Gibson.
As she returned the the daytime programme after two weeks off she began by saying: 'Hello, Firstly, are you okay? I hope so. It feels very strange sat here without Phil.'
She then went on to say she was feeling 'shaken and troubled' after his affair with a much younger runner on This Morning was revealed.
In a scathing tweet in reaction, David wrote: 'When Holly Willoughby said 'Firstly, are you OK?' I genuinely thought she was talking to someone behind camera, before realising that of course she was talking to us, the great British deeply-traumatised by everything's that happened on an ITV morning show public.'

He later suggested he was 'going to start every day with that from now on', asking his followers: 'Firstly, are you ok?
'Sorry, that was an idiotic thing to say. I meant - deep breath - are *you* ok?'
He added: 'The good thing about this is that all your replies about your lives are very nice and interesting. Maybe Holly was on to something.'
It comes after Amanda Holden also poked fun at Holly's comeback speech - mimicking her address to This Morning viewers in a video on social media.
Amanda posted a video on Instagram wearing an angelic white ensemble from Me + Em which was similar to the Reiss one worn by Holly, saying: 'Hello, it is Tuesday. Are you OK?'
And, just in case anyone missed the point, she had another pop at Holly on the radio.
When talking about doing the show hungover, the day before, co-host Jamie Theakston, 52, asked her how she was feeling.
She said: 'I got home, got straight into bed with my dog and cat. I got up, cooked the tea and went back to bed again at 8.

Tears: Holly looked visibly emotional as she addressed the cameras with a monologue about her former best friend Phillip
'I did that thing where you wake up at 2 and you have to talk yourself back into going to sleep.'
Jamie interjected: 'We're worried about your well-being,' while talking to another guest.
Amanda replied: 'I'm OK people, are you OK?' before cackling loudly.
A spokesperson for Amanda told MailOnline: 'Amanda has always made it clear in the past she has no issues with Holly. Today’s video has been taken out of context.'
And Amanda wasn't the only person sticking the boot in to Holly.
Springwatch fans were convinced that presenter Michaela Strachan, 57, was taking a jibe at her expense on Tuesday's show, which is live.
Michaela mimicked Holly's monologue when she made a similar statement following a clip of a fox stealing a blackbird chick from a nest.
Standing alongside co-host Chris Packham, 62, Michaela said: '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.'
Fans noticed the similarity with Holly's words and took to Twitter to express their surprise.
They wrote: 'Michela Strachan trolling Holly Willoughby on #springwatch was easily the highlight of today.'
