ALL the Loose Women stars dislike Phillip Schofield except for one, claims Eamonn Holmes
EAMONN Holmes has claimed there was a time when only one of the many Loose Women panellists liked Phillip Schofield.
The former This Morning host made a series of shocking claims regarding his former colleague following his very public downfall.
Schofield exited the sofa after his brother Tim was outed as a peado.
Just six days later, he made a bombshell revelation about an affair he had with a teen colleague while he was married.
After Schofield admitted the “consensual on-off relationship”, which he “lied” about for years, Holly Willoughby, 42, and ITV were quick to release statements saying they had been deceived.
Schofield’s lover worked on This Morning before being moved to Loose Women following their relationship, it is understood.
Speaking about his move to Loose Women, where Eamonn’s wife Ruth Langsford works, Dan Wootton claimed: “A lot of the Loose Women that I spoke to felt very uncomfortable about the fact that this young colleague, who was having an affair with Phillip Schofield and was deeply troubled at this point, had been moved onto their show.
“Because it was almost like management was saying this ‘this guy is your problem now, we’re taking him away from This Morning and he’s your problem’.”
In response on GB News, Eamonn said: “I think that should be asked why that unprecedented move was authorised, who authorised it and why?
“As for the Loose Women, in the year that you’re talking about, the panel that existed, I would say there was probably a minority of one that actually liked Phillip Schofield.”
“One Loose Women off ten or 12 or whatever.”
He continued: “People like me and Amanda Holden who has been very brave throughout all this people, people have been like ‘you must have known’.
“All I can say is I am a good person, I don’t need people to criticise me, I will give people love, tough love.
“I will give them an education in this business – but I’m not looking for anything in return.”
Eamonn also blasted Phil for bringing “toxicity” to the ITV show and claimed staff were “frightened” of him.
He also sensationally revealed that Phil would enjoy “Playtime Thursdays” with his young lover.
Eamonn said Schofield would take the junior runner back to another property he owned in London — and have ITV pay for a car to take his lover back to work on Friday when it was Phillip’s day off.
This Morning’s former Friday host Eamonn said he recently found out that the runner would arrive at the studio much earlier than he would — “delivered from Phillip’s home”.
This comes as Schofield was pictured with the young male aide as early as 2018, when he hosted a This Morning Live event.
The shamed star was seen with the ITV runner, with whom he had an affair behind his wife’s back, and co-host Holly Willoughby.
