Eamonn Holmes hits back at Phillip Schofield in scathing rant

Eamonn Holmes has hit back at Phillip Schofield with a scathing rant.

The two broadcasters are known for their roles as former presenters of This Morning. The show has been hit with controversy after Mr Schofield quit ITV last week.

The 61-year-old exited as he admitted to having an affair with a runner while working on the show. Mr Holmes has issued a number of outbursts addressing the incident amid the ongoing controversy.

Mr Schofield issued a statement on Instagram earlier hitting back at claims This Morning is a toxic work environment. He said: "Now I no longer work on This Morning I am free to say this. I hope you have noticed that it's the same handful of people with a grudge against me or the show who seem to have the loudest voice.

"This Morning is the best show to work on, with the best people. In all the years I worked there there was no toxicity. You can listen to those persistently loud voices if you like.

"But the thousands of guests over the years, thousands of staff and crew, hundreds of presenters and contributors all know, it is a family of wonderful, talented, kind, hard working people."

Mr Holmes has taken to Twitter to hit back at the statement as he said: "Schofield has just put out a delusional statement. Like Holly he puts it on Insta Stories so if it goes wrong there is no record after 24 hrs. I'm reluctant to give the liar any more publicity but believe me Pip if you are looking for a fight, you have picked on the wrong person!!"
