Former Sky news correspondent Enda Brady is backing Eamonn Holmes following the broadcaster's latest blistering attack on Phil and Holly.
In a tell-all interview on GB News last night, the Belfast broadcaster slammed This Morning’s Holly Willoughby, urging her to follow her now-former co-host Phillip Schofield "out the door".
The GB News presenter said: 'I don't think you will ever see Holly Willoughby back on the couch."

The interview followed a statement released by Phillip Schofield on his Instagram stories denying "toxicity" at ITV.
Eamonn retorted: "This nonsense that he wrote today about toxicity, it’s a happy place and whatever... what planet does this man live on?
"He created an atmosphere where people hated him, that people would avoid them in the corridor, he didn’t look at anybody, he didn’t know anybody’s names.
"Holly doesn't know people's names either. This is legendary within the production team, how distant they are, and how they just don't care.
"Not only should Phillip go, but Holly should follow him out the door."
Brady, now a media consultant, worked with Eamonn at Sky for 10 years, and praised him for treating all his TV colleagues nicely.
He told Ireland AM: "Look, I think some people are describing this as like a settling of scores. There’s a lot of acrimony there."
The Enniscorthy man went on to say that Eamonn "rightly feels quite aggrieved."
"You know the saying, 'revenge is a dish best served cold'. Well, Eamonn is serving it up in style.
"I worked with Eamonn for 10 years. I believe him. He’s a very honest man. What you see is what you get.
"Eamonn would know the names of the fellows in the car park, the ladies in the canteen, the cleaning staff. He would speak to everyone.
"Everyone needs to move on now."
Brady reckons Phillip Schofield is not helping himself by posting statements on Instagram "every 24 hours".
"He is not doing himself any favours."
The Wexford man continued: "Eamonn was insinuating that very senior bosses at ITV knew exactly what was going on.
"They’ve a big hole on the sofa to fill. Eamonn landed quite a few punches last night."
Brady praised Eamonn for being kind to him when starting out on TV.
"He made me feel extremely welcome."
