TV personality Matt Richardson has detailed a secret feud he claims to have with Holly Willoughby, originating from a joke made over a decade ago.
Richardson recalled an incident from 2014 during a run-through for a panel show called Reality Bites, where he made a lighthearted jab about Nicole Appleton's celebrity status. He mentioned that Appleton, who was present and a friend of his, found the joke amusing.
However, Richardson stated that several years later, Willoughby confronted him, expressing strong disapproval of the joke made about her close friend. Despite Appleton not being offended, Willoughby reportedly admonished Richardson, leading to an awkward encounter.
The comedian noted that any lingering awkwardness was amplified when they were both involved in the 2021 series of Dancing on Ice, during which their interactions were minimal due to COVID-19 protocols.
