Eamonn Holmes slams Phillip Schofield as 'controlling' in tell all interview

Eamonn Holmes has hit out at Phillip Schofield in a gripping interview that aired last night.

The Belfast presenter spoke to Dan Wooton at GB News in an interview addressing Phillip's departure from ITV. He made several bombshell revelations about his former co-worker, who he described as a toxic presence on the ITV set.

Phillip resigned from his decades long stint at This Morning after admitting to an affair with a much younger male colleague at ITV. Eamonn left This Morning alongside wife and co-presenter Ruth Langsford in 2021 and has heaped criticism at both Phillip and Holly Willoughby since his abrupt departure.

Eamonn wrote on Twitter after the interview aired: "A lie unchallenged becomes the truth... not on my watch it doesn't Pip. Tonight is for all my workmates over the years who were frightened and ignored by you and your controlling , coercive behaviour. All you who no one listened to. I'm here for you."

He also commented on the young ITV staffer alleged to have been in a relationship with Phillip Schofield. Eamonn said he had ceased contact with the individual, but that the man still remains in touch with Ruth.

Eamonn also criticised ITV's handling of the relationship between Phillip and the former staffer. A spokesperson for ITV claimed complaints surrounding the affair were investigated with due procedure.
