Eamonn Holmes gave his views on the Phillip Schofield situation after it emerged the former presenter had "stepped down" from his role on This Morning. The GB News presenter discussed Phillip and Holly Willoughby's alleged "feud" claiming Holly Willoughby "knows the truth" and why her co-star really left the popular ITV show, The Express reports.
He said: "Holly knows the truth, the story is with her." Before speaking to their colleague who was reporting from ITV studios, Eamonn raged: "Let's just stop this.
"He was sacked, right? All this nonsense about...'I have decided to step down'. I am sure you did, here's your P45 now step down.
Is the government doing enough to help with the cost of living? Let us know
"And she says, 'The couch won't feel the same without him being there' so what is she moaning about the couch not feeling the same for? I mean, they deserve each other I suppose."
Eamonn then launched another rant about why the presenter really left. "There are so many unanswered questions and all this is nonsense," he said.
"So she gets two weeks off now, Holly gets two weeks off to save any controversy and ITV will say nothing about this. And then one ITV making a statement saying, 'We will continue to support Phillip.'
"Well, if he stepped down, that's his decision. Why are you supporting him? And you're supporting him in what way?"
His co-star weighed in: "Well, there are lots of questions about why someone who's been on a show for 20 years isn't having a leaving party, isn't having a big send-off on the show?
"Obviously, there's bad blood. Why? What's behind it all? I think there's a legitimate question. Is there something more sinister bubbling?
"Most of us get the idea of what's behind it all, but just stop all this pretense reporting that he stood down and that she says the sofa won't feel the same."
"Just tell the blooming truth," Eamonn went on. "Do you think the two of them have actually spoken to each other?
"I think this one headline today is the front of The Sun, where he says, 'I'm completely broken', he's completely broken because TV is the only thing in his life.
"But he speaks he's been knifed, knifed by who? ITV bosses? Holly? If ITV has knifed him why are they continuing to give him two more programmes?"
