In a further swipe, Kerry wrote in her New Magazine column: "They need to revamp the show.

"It's tarnished and tainted and it's s****."

Speaking about Holly's return to This Morning Kerry said: "I thought Holly’s speech about Phil on This Morning last week was an absolute load of sh*te.

"It was awful. I felt it was so staged, so rehearsed, so heartless, so soulless. People want realness."

The former Atomic Kitten singer Kerry added: "No one believes Holly anymore.

"I have nothing against her at all, but as a viewer, I just don’t think it’s working any more. If it was up to me, I’d like Amanda Holden and Rylan to present it."

Meanwhile, in an interview with The Sun, Kerry admitted the “fallout” from her 2008 interview on the show left her feeling like she’d “killed somebody”.

She said she’s got “nothing against Phillip” because they’ve since “kissed and made up”, but slammed the “aftercare” she claims she did not receive from ITV. 

“I'm not jumping on the bandwagon or putting Phillip down,” Kerry explained.

"What he's done, it is wrong, and I know there's a lot more to come, but for me, it's the overall care with people, the snobbery at ITV.

"I've definitely got PTSD from that interview, 100 per cent, because of the fallout, the aftermath of it. You'd think I'd killed somebody!"

"It's tarnished and tainted and it's s****," said Kerry
