Eamonn Holmes believes Phillip Schofield has 'brought everything on himself' and is the only other person who knows what REALLY happened between them when Cast Away star came out as gay

As a long-time observer and analyst of showbiz dynamics, I must say that the feud between Eamonn Holmes and Phillip Schofield is one for the history books. It’s not often we see such raw animosity play out on television, especially among supposed colleagues.


According to Eamonn Holmes, it seems that Philip Schofield is facing the consequences of his own actions in the context of their ongoing disagreement.

64-year-old presenter candidly expressed his disdain for the 62-year-old Cast Away actor, and their verbal sparring has ignited a heated dispute, earning it the title of one of the most significant feuds in the entertainment industry.

Currently, a trusted confidant of Eamonn has shed light on the true events that unfolded when Philip announced his sexuality as gay in 2020 in public.

It comes after a friend of Phillip’s accused Eamonn of making jokes about Phillip’s homosexuality.

The insider told Mail Online: ‘It’s total nonsense to suggest Eamonn was making jokes about Phlilip being gay. People have got short memories. 

‘It was Eamonn who sat down with Phillip when he came out and announced he was gay on ITV.

Eamonn wrapped his arms around him in a strong, affectionate embrace, signaling his support in a private manner. However, it’s the events that followed this gesture that both Eamonn and the folks at ITV are having trouble accepting.

In his TV show “Cast Away” on Channel 5, Philip publicly criticized a coworker from ITV whom he accused of betraying him, and it’s been reported by The Sun that this comment was directed towards Eamonn.

A trusted source near Eamonn responded to TopMob by saying, “Philip is attempting to make others sympathize with him, but in truth, he has caused all the events that have transpired.

‘He should take responsibility for his actions and avoid blaming others. As for Eamonn, he doesn’t have a friendship with Phillip at present. They’re not close friends. However, Eamonn feels good about their past, knowing that he has acted honestly in all their interactions.’

Following Philip’s apparent rekindling of his dispute with longtime adversary Eamonn, the host responded critically to a former coworker who was perceived as betraying him.

A trustworthy confidant of Philip has revealed some of his thoughts about his ex-ITV coworker, who is widely recognized. This individual described the person as displaying small-mindedness and harboring resentment.

A friend of the celebrity additionally claimed that Eamonn had made jests regarding Philip’s sexual orientation, following his announcement of being gay in 2020.

They mentioned that Phil is aware Eamonn dislikes him, claiming the reason for this is because Phil never reached out to apologize for not texting upon Eamonn’s departure.

I personally believe that Eamonn comes across as small-minded and resentful, and he seemed to relish being part of Phil’s “coming out” situation.

In a moment of reflection, Phil reminded himself of the time when Eamonn joked about Phil being gay. Additionally, we learned that Holly was extremely upset with Eamonn on that particular day because he had threatened to take control of the interview if she showed too much emotion. Phil shared that he had never witnessed Holly so enraged before.

A report stated that Phil apparently enjoyed the irony of Eamonn’s recent marital issues making news, given he had frequently criticized Philip on his GB News program.

They added that Eamonn attempted a phone-in for viewers on GB News viewers, asking them to ‘call in if they’d had an affair with Phillip,’ and ‘not one person got in touch.’

Over the weekend, it was revealed by a trusted source that Eamonn’s intense dislike for Philip had grown so strong that he feels no remorse over the heated exchanges that ultimately contributed to the dissolution of his marriage with Ruth Langsford.

According to a reliable insider, it’s clear that the celebrity maintains his strong, vocal criticisms of Philip, and this was reportedly upsetting to his ex-wife Ruth as their marriage neared its end.

On ITV’s popular show Loose Women, Ruth continues to shine regularly, but it appears her spouse’s public comments about the channel left her feeling uncomfortable due to feelings of betrayal reportedly experienced.

They declared their separation in May, following 14 years of matrimony, due to professional obligations that led their relationship astray. Since then, he’s been spotted vacationing with his new companion, Katie Alexander.

According to a source, Eamonn’s animosity towards Philip had been simmering for quite some time. However, it wasn’t until the end of his marriage to Ruth that this dislike became widely known. As his antipathy towards Philip and ITV intensified, so did the rifts in their relationship.

As a lifestyle enthusiast, I must admit I felt a tad taken aback when Eamonn persistently took swipes at ITV following our dismissal from This Morning.

Ruth didn’t exactly jump with joy about it. However, as a firmly established part of the Loose Women team, it put her in an uncomfortable position when Eamonn was critical of ITV.

However, Eamonn harbors strong dislike towards Philip and stands firm with no remorse over his words. He absolutely does not believe that he betrayed Philip in any way.

He has no regrets about his actions; he feels he’s enslaved by the allure of fame, and he finds it hard to accept that he’s tried to re-emerge with his documentary this week.

‘Eamonn is trying to move on with his life, and has no plans to ever make it up with Phillip.’

Eamonn declined to comment when contacted by TopMob.

However, a reliable insider mentioned that attributing the presenter’s remarks concerning Philip or ITV to marital issues would be unjustified.

In November 2021, Eamonn and Ruth found themselves in a contentious situation when they were removed from their roles on “This Morning” after 15 years. Their positions on the Friday episode were subsequently taken over by Dermot O’Leary and Alison Hammond.

Eamonn felt deeply upset upon his termination by ITV, asserting that no clear explanation was ever provided for his dismissal.

His elimination became all the more aggravating due to his conviction that Philip received unwavering backing from ITV, disregarding his off-set conduct. This belief was also held by Philip’s former co-hosts, Fern Britton and Amanda Holden, who temporarily filled in for him on This Morning when Holly was on maternity leave.

The occurrence strengthened Eamonn’s conviction that Philip was regularly favored, even though he exhibited unacceptable behavior offstage, according to various reports.

Last week, Eamonn furiously hit out at Phillip ahead of his TV comeback, saying he is ‘very proud to have thrown him under the bus ‘.

During the conversation about Philip’s controversial return to TV on Channel 5’s Cast Away, Eamonn openly expressed his opinions.

On the GB News Breakfast, co-host Isobel Webster disclosed on Monday that Schofield stated he was “thrown under a bus.” In response, Holmes swiftly retorted: “If I’m among those who pushed him under the bus, I am quite proud to have done so…

‘This man is addicted to fame, absolutely addicted to fame.’

Holmes, known for his open disdain towards Schofield, subsequently remarked that “Schofield ought to live in seclusion.

For quite some time, whispers about strained relations between Philip and Eamonn have been going around, as they’ve been acquainted for nearly three decades.

On GMTV, it was Holmes who was the host, while Schofield was presenting This Morning. Later on, in 2006, Holmes joined Schofield on the daytime show.

On the beloved ITV daytime show, Holmes and Schofield made an effort to conceal their personal tension in order to maintain harmony.

In February 2020, when Philip revealed his sexuality on This Morning, Eamonn displayed unwavering support – despite rumors suggesting that he was seething with anger over being compelled to endorse a person he deeply disliked.

These days, they’ve abandoned any pretense of friendship or respect for each other. According to a source who spoke with The Daily Mail, their dislike is so profound that they go out of their way to cross the street just to avoid having to make eye contact.

In the realm of show business, feuds are often seen among women, but the spat between Eamonn and Phil is widely regarded as the most acrimonious and venomous one on television.

Eamonn has strong feelings of dislike towards Phil. In the past, he kept his sentiments hidden, but recently, he seems indifferent. To him, Phil is both dishonest and contemptible.

‘Phil keeps quiet about it all but the feeling is mutual.’

The pair’s feud began with an incident involving Holmes’s former wife Ruth Langsford.

In 2019, she lodged a formal grievance towards Schofield following an instance where she was abruptly interrupted during her speech about her upcoming segment on This Morning by the program’s host.

Phillip said live on air at the time: ‘Guys, we’re going to have to jump in there and stop you I’m afraid because we’re a bit tight for time at this end. Thank you, Ruth.’

In my professional opinion, after uttering just a couple more phrases, I dramatically set down my writing tool with a flair of anger. This little interchange was later chronicled by Schofield in his 2020 memoir titled “Life’s What You Make It.

Eamonn felt quite upset because he took the time to seem like he supported Schofield when he came out on live television.

Upon learning from ITV supervisors about Schofield’s declaration as they both reported to work that wintery morning in February 2020, he was spotted giving Schofield a warm hug.

According to a source, Eamonn was made to feel exploited by Phil during the scenes about coming out, as he and Ruth were instructed to be present and it gave the impression they were close friends.

Initially, discerning spectators claimed it was false; we can confirm that it indeed was. For years, Eamonn has harbored disdain towards Schofield. (Paraphrased)

After Holmes left ITV, his anger grew even more. And when Schofield confessed his affair with Person X – the one identified as such by ITV executives – that’s when he vented his wrath.

There’s a belief that Eamonn and Ruth felt strongly upset over the way Schofield handled his relationship with his young This Morning coworker, who he was allegedly unfaithful to while still married.

Ruth had a close relationship with the young man because, later on, he became associated with the show “Loosely Women,” where she served as a host.

A confidant of his commented, ‘Eamonn found it all distasteful,’ due to his lack of knowledge about the connection and feeling deceived, similar to other coworkers of Schofield. This was the final straw for Eamonn; he could no longer stay silent on the matter.

As a devoted admirer, I couldn’t help but share my thoughts after hearing Schofield’s confession on GB News. In our unique bond, Ruth and I took special care of that young man, nurturing his talent and potential.

He never mentioned any relationships to us, yet it was clear he was going through a tough time emotionally. It’s crucial that we extend great care and concern towards this young fellow.

In the same conversation, he strongly criticized Philip, stating that he “fostered an environment where people disliked him… he rarely acknowledged others. He is a pure, unadulterated self-centered individual.

According to Schofield’s friends, he was deeply distressed by the interview and they believe it exacerbated his existing mental state following his resignation from ITV due to confessing his affair.
