Eamonn Holmes has sensationally claimed that only one Loose Women panellist ever liked Phillip Schofield - and it was simply because he 'opened doors' for her.
The GB News presenter, 63, who previously hosted This Morning on Fridays with Ruth Langsford before being replaced by Alison Hammond and Dermot O'Leary, blasted Phillip, 61, as a 'narcissist' and claimed he 'abused his power' in an explosive interview with Dan Wootton on GB News last night.
As well as claiming that Phillip's affair with a young This Morning showrunner was 'covered-up' by ITV bosses, Eamonn went on to claim that out of all of the Loose Women panellists who work on ITV, 'only one' had a soft spot for Phillip - while the rest openly disliked the presenter.
Admitting that he felt relieved to finally be 'exposing' his former colleague Phillip, and ITV as a whole, Eamonn told Dan Wootton that the Loose ladies distanced themselves from Phil as much as they could.
"There was probably a minority of one [Loose Women] who actually liked Phillip Schofield. One Loose Women out of ten or twelve," Eamonn claimed during the explosive interview.
"And while I think it's fine with people like me talking about this - and people like Amanda Holden, who has been very brave throughout all of this - but then people are abusing me.
"They're saying 'what are you talking about? You were as bad. You must have known'.
"All I can say is that I'm a good person. I know that I'm a good person."
Eamonn then went on to discuss the formal complaint that his wife, Ruth Langsford, made to ITV bosses about Phillip's 'rude behaviour'.
"That was about his rudeness. This nonsense he has said in his statement denying the toxicity at ITV and saying that ITV and This Morning is a happy place - Holy God, what planet does this man live on?
"He created an atmosphere where people hated him.
"People would avoid him in the corridor. He was so rude to the Loose Women and he was so dismissive.
"We always had to do this handover between programmes from This Morning and Loose Women about what was coming on next. The Loose Women always felt very demeaned by the whole thing because he was always so rude to them.
"I know the one Loose Women star who liked Phillip, and she probably only did so because she liked mixing in circles where she thought would open doors for her."
It comes as a number of panellists on ITV's Loose Women have reportedly been left furious that they were dragged into the fallout of Phillip Schofield's affair with a much younger member of ITV staff while he was still married.
Phillip has been dropped by his talent agency YMU after the affair confession, and has also stepped down from ITV completely – meaning he will no longer host the British Soap Awards this weekend.
Following the fallout from Phil's confession, new claims have been made that the young ITV employee was moved to Loose Women from This Morning after Phil and the employee's relationship 'turned sour' leaving the Loose Women stars 'livid'.
One of the show's stars is said to have even made a formal complaint about the situation.
It was also claimed by the Mail Online's Dan Wootton: "I spoke to a number of the Loose Women presenters personally who were livid and worried that they were having to deal with the very real fallout of Phillip's mixed up professional and personal life.
"At least one of the stars had made a formal complaint to management.
"Another told me: 'We shouldn't be having to deal with Phillip's messed up situation. We love (the young worker) but he's very troubled now. What if he can't cope?'"
The Mirror have contacted ITV for comment.
