‘s mannerisms were today compared to those of by a body language expert, amid claims he has fallen out with co-host .
Phil was back on ‘s This Morning putting on a brave face today following claims that the duo are ‘not as close as they once were’ and now barely speak off camera.
But judi slot James said Phil’s non-verbal ‘reply’ to recent rumours of splits and rifts ‘seemed to have borrowed from the Prince Harry handbook of body language’.
The body language expert also told MailOnline that ‘like Harry at the Coronation, Phil adopted a jaunty, almost cocky air, using some overkill rituals and facial expressions and some status-and-power splaying to suggest resilience and defiance’.
Ms James said Holly ‘looked less comfortable, using some barrier rituals to suggest a cut-off from Phil, with the couple’s normal synchronicity falling apart at times’.

On today’s This Morning, Holly and Phil hosted a segment on fake tans – while the show also discussed people’s embarrassing moments caused by their mobile phones.
And Ms James said: ‘Phil’s initial pose involved the wide splayed legs of a power pose with the hands stuffed in the pockets that would often hint at an inner desire to avoid or hide.
‘Swinging his arms to a Lulu song he looked to be in party mode and his smile at Holly looked more like a comedy grin than a sign of warmth and connection.
‘Their micro-gestures hinted at inner tension. Phil sucked his lips in before performing a tongue-poke of dislike or rejection at one point when Holly spoke and she was seen to rub her forehead, suggesting anxiety.
‘Phil bounced on his heels in a more cocky display and at one point his smile to camera looked more like a teeth-baring ritual, suggesting supressed anger.’

Ms James also claimed Phil ‘looked over-perky and when he listened to Gok Wan at one point he threw his head right back in a long, open-mouthed, pantomime-style laugh’.
