Former ITV1 This Morning presenter Eamonn Holmes has been very vocal since the Phillip Schofield controversy and has spoken about his time hosting on This Morning. He has now revealed the one sentence that ended up costing him his job.
Eamonn says he was let go by ITV back in 2020, after remarks he made during the coronavirus crisis. In a interview with Dan Wootton on GB News Eamonn has claimed he was booted out by bosses for his outspoken comments on 5G.

750 complaints were lodged with broadcasting watchdog Ofcom when Eamonn questioned why the "mainstream media" had shut down alleged links between 5G and the coronavirus outbreak. Eamonn claimed he was sacked "without warning" and ITV bosses were "never kind" to him.

He said: "They weren't kind when they tossed me out of the door and didn't care where I was going." Eamonn has not held back on his criticism of Phillip or ITV since Phillip left This Morning, revealed his affair and then quit ITV altogether.
After Phillip released a statement saying there is "no toxicity" at This Morning, Eamonn labelled Phillip as "delusional". Writing on Twitter, Eamonn 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 hours. I'm reluctant to give the liar any more publicity, but believe me Pip if u r (sic) looking for a fight, u (sic) have picked on the wrong person!"
Former This Morning resident doctor Dr Ranj Singh has also hit out at the show's "toxic" culture, saying he raised concerns about "bullying and discrimination" two years ago when he worked there and afterwards felt like he was "managed out" for whistleblowing.
