What happened between Eamonn Holmes and Phillip Schofield? 'Feud' explained | The Sun

EAMONN Holmes and Phillip Schofield have been the kings of morning television for decades.

While the pair were once considered showbiz pals, a series of social media posts and one explosive interview, has proved otherwise.

What happened between Eamonn Holmes and Phillip Schofield?

Eamonn Holmes and Phillip Schofield relationship goes back years, but soured long before Phil was axed from This Morning in May 2023.

Over the years, Eamonn has made his feelings about Phillip clear.

He has known him for most of his professional life and they have worked alongside one another on This Morning.

But the bad blood came to the fore after Eamonn's wife Ruth Langsford put in a formal complaint about Phillip's behaviour on the set of This Morning in 2019.

Ruth was cut off mid-link by Phillip while she was sharing what was coming up on Loose Women.

Phil interrupted and said: “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.”

Unimpressed by his interruption, Ruth turned away and said to the Loose Women panel: “Well I only had about two more words to say.”

An ITV source revealed at the time: “Ruth and Eamonn both appear to be treated harshly by Phillip.

"After Phillip literally cut her off in the middle of a sentence on air when she was hosting Loose Women she decided enough was enough. Yet again nothing changed.”

What has Eamonn Holmes said about Phillip Schofield?

Eamonn has responded to Phil being axed from This Morning, amid a row that he lied about an affair with a much younger runner.

ITV said it was “deeply disappointed” in the presenter, and that the channel feels “badly let down” by him.

Now, former This Morning host Eamonn has echoed this sentiment following claims he knew about Phillip’s affair.

On Twitter, in response to a video showing Eamonn supporting Phil when he came out as gay live on This Morning in 2020, he claimed that Schofield had “lied” and “deceived” him and his wife, Ruth.

He said: “One day I will tell the story,” adding, “We had no issue with him being gay, only support. What transpired took us for fools.

"The man told us complete lies and we unfortunately believed him.”

Eamonn also did a bombshell interview with GB News, and claimed Phil created a "toxic" work environment at This Morning.

He added: "He is the chief narcissist. He is a complete and utter dyed in the wool narcissist, everything is about him.

"He created an atmosphere where people hated him; those people he would avoid them in the corridor, he didn’t look at anybody, he didn’t know anybody’s name.”

What has Phillip Schofield said about Eamonn Holmes?

Phillip is yet to publicly address Eamonn and the accusations he has made against him.

However, he did talk about a "handful of people" having a "grudge" against him.

Phil's Instagram post – which was shared after Eamonn's GB News interview – said: "Now I no longer work on This Morning I am free to say this.

"I hope you have noticed that it’s the same handful of people with a grudge against me all the show who seem to have the loudest voice.

"This morning is the best show to work on with the best people. In all the years I worked there, there was no toxicity.
