This Morning presenters Eamonn Holmes and Phillip Schofield had a row backstage at the National Television Awards, according to reports.
Eamonn and his wife Ruth Langsford have been reportedly at loggerheads with Phillip after Ruth made a formal complaint about his behaviour.
This happened after Phillip cut Ruth off during a Loose Women preview, causing her to throw her pen in fury.
The Sun claims that tensions boiled over as Eamonn was furious that Phillip had hugged Ruth on stage as they collected their Best Live Magazine show award.
A source told them that Eamonn felt that Phillip's decision to include Ruth in the speeches was disingenuous.

Later, as the presenters posed with their award, Eamonn appeared to try and removed the NTA from Phillip as they had their photos together.
The trio reportedly avoided each other during the party at the O2 Arena, as a source said that Eamonn and Ruth thought Phillip had been "a bit humiliating".
The source also said that Eamonn and Ruth had thought it was "awkward for everyone around them".

In the winners' room, Holly Willoughby was seen looking to give the statuette to Ruth, where Phillip appeared to stop her by putting his hand on it.
Eamonn then appears to take a firm grip of the award and yank it away from Phillip.
The source added: "Phil was grinning but it was obvious he was furious," while Eamonn was in "high spirits as he had made his point".

Viewers of the awards had thought that the exchange between Ruth and Phillip on stage appeared to be very stilted as Phillip put his arm around her.
Meanwhile, Holly fuelled the feud rumours as she shared snaps from the party, but failed to tag Eamonn or Ruth in a snap from their seats.
It was also revealed that Phillip doesn't follow Ruth on Instagram, hinting there is indeed tension backstage.
