Eamonn Holmes brands Phillip Schofield ‘a liar’ over This Morning row as he hits out at him AGAIN
EAMONN Holmes has branded Phillip Schofield ‘a liar’ over the This Morning row.
The TV presenter, 63, has hit out at him AGAIN after Phillip, 61, was axed from the ITV show last month.
Phillip quit ITV in May after relationship with the male ITV employee was exposed, but weeks before the ITV anchor had become embroiled in a feud with co-star Holly Willoughby.
Eamonn has not shied away from giving his opinion on the matter and said on GBNews: “He [Schofield] is totally discredited.
“He’s admitted he’s lied to his colleagues, to the Daily Mail, to his family, his agents, to everyone. And yet, people are deaf to this.
“People sit and go, ‘poor Philip, what’s he going through? He’s been bullied’. He’s been this, he’s been that. The man has lied. He’s admitted he’s lied.
“And where do we go from here?
“Carolyn McCall, what did you do about it? Because she’s woke sensitive…she’s a very hands-on chief executive, but her hands are in all the wrong places it appears.”
He also issued a fresh attack on ITV as he said his former management are talking ‘rubbish’.
Carolyn McCall CEO of ITV, Director of Television Kevin Lygo and general counsel Kyla Mullins faced a panel of MP’s to give evidence to the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport committee.
The trio were questioned after Phillip Schofield admitted he lied to ITV management, his colleagues and his own representatives over his consensual relationship with a young colleague.
Eamonn said: “I suppose some of the areas she has to reassure people is, what is she like as regards protecting those who are vulnerable and the disciplinary procedures?
“They use all the usual nonsense and rubbish that they talk about, but they have to investigate.
“When they investigated and they asked Schofield did you have an affair with this guy, which is what they didn’t ask – I know exactly what they asked.
“And they then asked the young lad involved in all of this. They need a transcript of what actually took place that day, because that was not a thorough investigation.”
