Eamonn Holmes has made his feelings heard loud and clear about Phillip Schofield, as the former This Morning host returned to TV on Channel 5’s Cast Away.
The Northern Irish broadcaster, 64, gave a sensational interview last year after Schofield, 62, admitted to an ‘unwise but not illegal affair’ with a runner.
He branded Schofield a ‘narcissist’, claimed he would have ‘playtime’ with the younger employee and alleged Holly Willoughby, 43, and Schofield ‘didn’t know people’s names behind the scenes of This Morning’.
He also said he was ‘ashamed’ of how he supported Schofield when he came out as gay, saying he felt ‘used’ and described his coming out episode a ‘performance’.
Now, as Schofield has returned to screens and vowed to ‘say whatever I want about whatever I want’, Eamonn has claimed he’s ‘proud’ to have ‘thrown him under the bus’, and even compared him to disgraced broadcaster Huw Edwards, was spared jail just weeks ago after admitting to accessing indecent images of children as young as seven.
The GB News presenter fumed: ‘He fertles with an underage boy, and you can work out when it started or not, there’s all sorts of talk as to when these relationships started or not.
‘This man is addicted to fame, absolutely addicted to fame.
‘Funny, nobody is going to put Huw Edwards on a desert island and say, “Huw, tell us about your experiences.” But they will put Phillip Schofield on.’

And now the reasons behind Schofield and Eamonn’s bad blood has been reportedly exposed, with claims that the GB News star hasn’t been able to stand being in the same room as his former colleague in years.
‘They would cross the road to avoid having to even look at each other,’ one source said, calling their feud: ‘the b*******t, most vicious fallout in television.’
The insider added to MailOnline: ‘They hate one another. Eamonn cannot stand Phil, and while he never used to talk about it, now he just doesn’t care. He thinks Phil is a disgrace and a liar.
‘Phil keeps quiet about it all but the feeling is mutual.’

The publication reports that their feud began with an incident in 2019, when Eamonn’s then-wife Ruth Langsford filed an official complaint against Schofield after she was cut off on air.
Then in 2020, Schofield came out as gay on This Morning, with Ruth and Eamonn both in the studio to ‘support’ him.
