Eamonn Holmes tore into rival Phillip Schofield and said he is ‘proud’ to have been one of the people who ‘threw him under the bus’.
The GB News star is no stranger to sharing his dislike for the former This Morning presenter. After Phillip announced his TV return 16 months after he stepped down from his roles at ITV following an “unwise but not illegal” affair with a much younger colleague, Eamonn slammed the presenter during his morning show.
He said: “I believe he is where he deserves to be,” before adding: “I am one of the people who threw him under the bus, I am very proud to have done it.” Eamonn went on: “This man is addicted to fame. Absolutely addicted to fame.” Eamonn’s rant came amid Phillip’s shock return to TV screens.

Last week, the former Dancing On Ice presenter announced he bagged a stint on Channel 5’s Cast Away – where he spent 10 days on a deserted island with nothing but a few cameras. When he first stepped down from his role over a year ago, he refuted claims he was “forced out” of This Morning and shared his regrets for lying to the channel, his colleagues and his wife.

However, after the star spent time alone on the island of Nosy Ankarea, off the coast of Madagascar, he said he felt “thrown under the bus”. In the programme, Phillip said when he started at the BBC as a booking clerk at 19, he first was able to go to the Television Centre, where ITV’s This Morning was later filmed, and he “loved being there”.
He added: “When what happened to me happened to me, it screwed up my favourite building in the world, and it pretty well blew away all those happy memories, and suddenly the place became hostile to me, and that was heartbreaking. And the people who did it to me, know, they know how important that building was to me. They know that when you throw someone under a bus, you’ve got to have a really bloody good reason to do it. Brand, ambition is not good enough. It’s not a good enough reason to throw someone under a bus.”

Sitting around the fire, he said: “I was just thinking there as I was collecting wood. There are only three sh*ts. One of them is a coward who never stepped up in queue-gate. One of them is a coward because they never stepped up when I was being battered by one journalist….and the other one is just brand-orientated. Not what you expect, not what you think you’re going to get. When it all came to a sudden and very abrupt end, questions were asked about our toxic environment in parliament!”
The former presenter went on to admit that there were a few “tricky people” but the toxicity was exaggerated. Using the alone time to air out his frustrations, he said: “When you’ve given so much to somewhere and been so loyal, to have absolutely no loyalty shown to you. I know what I did was unwise, not sensible. But is it enough to absolutely destroy someone? Literally destroy them.”

Meanwhile, Phillip, who insisted he doesn’t want to return to TV, was recently seen relaxing with friends at a pub in west London. The star was pictured sipping on champagne while rocking a button-up shirt and a blazer for the casual occasion.
