Eamonn Holmes furiously lashes out at GB News co-host as she defends Phillip Schofield over his affair with a runner - hours after presenter returned to TV on Cast Away

As a lifestyle expert with decades of experience in the media industry, I’ve seen it all – the highs and lows, the triumphs and tribulations that come with being in the public eye. The case of Phillip Schofield is one that has certainly caught my attention.


On Tuesday, I couldn’t help but feel my blood boil as I weighed in on the aftermath of my beloved colleague, Philip Schofield’s stunning comeback to prime-time television.

After a break of more than 18 months from ITV, Schofield’s return to television has sparked debate among Channel 5 viewers following his journey to a secluded island in the Indian Ocean for a new three-part series titled “Cast Away.” This marks his first TV project since leaving ITV.

After confessing to fabricating an affair with a young male athlete, it was believed that the broadcast host’s professional life had reached its end following his revelation on “This Morning.

As I shared my thoughts about my upcoming return on GB News alongside Isabel Webster, I found myself growing heated when she asserted that I hadn’t broken any laws by engaging in the affair we were discussing.

He exclaimed, “What’s the point of bringing this up?” he asked, seemingly annoyed. “After all, he met the boy when he was fifteen. Why does it matter so much to you now?

Previously, Holmes, a colleague of Schofield’s from This Morning, openly acknowledged feeling a sense of pride in having “thrown him under the bus.” This statement clearly shows his disapproval towards the presenter.

He asserted that this individual is utterly captivated by the pursuit of fame, and he firmly believes that the presenter merits a life in seclusion.

At a theater school, where Schofield was delivering a talk, it was disclosed by The Mail on Sunday that his romantic partner was only 15 years old at their first encounter.

Initially, the schoolboy inquired about work from him, which eventually resulted in a job interview. This opportunity turned into a role as an ITV production assistant upon his eighteenth birthday. Later on, their romantic relationship started.

During the making of Cast Away, Schofield often referred to himself as the “embarrassed and discredited Philip Schofield, involved in an extramarital relationship.

Previously, the host of This Morning expressed: “It’s odd, but it seems that a couple more television presenters could potentially have acted similarly.

‘Difference is heterosexual. It’s not an unusual thing in the gay world for there to be a difference in age groups.

In the normal course of events, it wouldn’t be surprising, but if I were in your position and you were a woman instead, congratulations! Job well done. Nice going, friend.

Schofield confessed to having a clandestine relationship with a junior coworker at ITV, yet he firmly dismisses allegations of inappropriate mentorship or grooming.

In retrospect, when Schofield publicly refuted allegations of being “pushed aside,” and expressed deep regret for deceiving ITV, my heart went out to him as a die-hard fan. I could feel the remorse in his words, knowing it wasn’t easy for him to admit such mistakes to his fellow colleagues, his wife, and friends.

An independent investigation, conducted by Jane Mulcahy KC on behalf of ITV, determined that the channel exerted significant efforts to uncover facts regarding the speculation about an affair between Schofield and a runner in 2019. However, no conclusive evidence was discovered to support these rumors.

As a conscientious individual prioritizing my wellbeing, I found myself unable to participate in the investigation last December due to the potential threat it posed to my health.

According to Mulcahy, during her examination, she didn’t discover proof of a harmful or poisonous work environment. She advised ITV to assist junior employees who believe that expressing their opinions could negatively affect their professional advancement.

Towards the conclusion of the Channel 5 show, Schofield expressed his indecision about resuming hosting duties.

With a hint of emotion choking his voice, he remarked, “I’m not entirely finished yet, but let me tell you, I can assure you that I won’t ever return to daytime television again. In all my countless TV existences, I’ve never imagined this.

Towards the conclusion of the event, Schofield was spotted embracing his daughter Molly, age 31, along with their beloved pet. Molly expressed her pride by stating that he is indeed her father.

As a die-hard fan, I can’t contain my excitement! Starting Monday, September 30, at the stroke of 9:00 pm, Channel 5 will air “Cast Away” for an unforgettable three-night run. And here’s the cherry on top – it’ll be available to stream on My5 as well! Countdown begins now!
