Eamonn Holmes picture leaves Phillip Schofield fans saying same thing after GB News rant

Eamonn Holmes has been slammed by viewers after posting a new snap to social media. The GB News host took to Instagram to share a smouldering picture of himself, looking way more youthful and chiselled than usual.

But instead of garnering compliments about his strikingly different appearance he was hit with comments about his recent behaviour.

The broadcaster has reignited his bitter feud with former This Morning colleague Phillip Schofield over the embattled presenter's TV comeback and fans aren't happy.

Under his snap, one wrote: "Why be so unkind to schofield when ur own behaviour is not kind towards ruth? Makes no sense. I have always loved your views but people in glass houses..... be kind."

Another commented: "None of us are perfect including you Eamon I don't like who you are Phil has been punished enough now stop."

A third commented: "Try doing yourself a favour, and being a little bit more kind. It will go a long way." While someone else wrote: "I used to like you Eamonn but Phill Schofield in my opinion is way more talented and way more nicer than you!"

Phillip stepped away from the ITV show in disgrace in May 2023 after admitting to an affair with a younger male colleague at This Morning while he was still married.

Since then he has been away from the limelight and not worked on screens, until last week when he appeared on Channel 5's Castaway as a contestant. Just hours before his comeback, Eamonn admitted he was glad to have thrown him "under the bus".

Eamonn was fronting his GB News programme with co-host Isabel Webster last Wednesday, when she said Phil suggested he was "thrown under the bus" by his colleagues.

Eamonn, who had previously fronted Friday episodes of the ITV daytime series alongside ex-wife Ruth Langsford, 64, quickly responded: "Well if I'm one of the people who threw him under the bus I am very proud to have done it and protected children.

"People who are under age." Eamonn then added: "I think he [Phil] is where he deserves to be."

When Phil left the show last summer, Eamonn vented on social media: "Schofield has finally been caught out" and labelled ITV as "The ministry of lies."

Previously, Eamonn had expressed frustration that he and his ex-wife Ruth Langsford felt "taken for fools" by Schofield after they supported him live on TV during his revelation about being gay. The duo used to host This Morning together with Phillip and his colleague Holly Willoughby.

Mail Online was told by a source: "On a personal level, Phillip and Eamonn never got on.

"Eamonn found him snippy and passive- aggressive, and thought he treated the lower-down people on the show very badly. Phillip was impolite. He would ignore you and then be nice to you, and you were supposed to be thankful. It made Eamonn furious."

The tension escalated when Eamonn and Ruth were replaced on their regular Friday slot, especially when Phillip and Holly did not extend their good wishes to them. Further strain was added because Phillip repeatedly misspelt Eamonn's name as 'Eamon' in his autobiography Life's What You Make It.
