Phillip Schofield has many strings to his bow... Kids TV, singing in Ander Lloyd Webber musicals, and being the most mild mannered person on TV... right? Wrong, because yesterday, the former sidekick of Gordon T. Gopher went medieval on the dreadful excuse of a person that is Paul Burrell.

Whilst talking to Burrell on This Morning yesterday, he had a justified swipe stating "It would appear that you were her rock - but now she's your pension."

The pair clashed over Burrell's recent claim that Wills and Harry had not done enough to defend their mother's memory. He refused to back down when Schofield challenged him on it.

Raking-over-dead-bones-Burrell, 46, now plugging his second Diana book, 'The Way We Were', said he was only telling the truth. However, his attitude appeared to enrage normally chipper chappy Schofield. He accused Burrell of taking a "cynical dig" at the princes.

He added: "Last time you came on you signed my book and wrote in it, 'Thank you for being nice to me'. But this time I'm finding it much harder to be nice to you. You said that you are the only spokesperson for Diana because the Princes don't speak out for their mother, but you know they don't do that. You're using the money from the books about Diana to pay for your pension. It's ostentatious." Next week, Paul Burrell teaches us how to rob graves...[Mof Gimmers]
