Eamonn Holmes claims Phillip Schofield's lover was 'driven from his home in cars paid for by ITV'

Eamonn Holmes has claimed that Phillip Schofield's lover travelled from his home in cars paid for by ITV.

Last night, the ex This Morning presenter gave a bombshell interview to GB News where he blasted his former co-star once again.

ITV has been contacted for comment.

Eamonn's interview comes after Phillip admitted an "unwise" but "not illegal" affair with a younger colleague from the show. Eamonn has since lashed out at Phillip on Twitter after he announced he would not be returning to This Morning.

But now, Eamonn has claimed that Phil would have the young runner over to stay at his home on Thursday nights, writes The Mirror.

Phillip would present the ITV show with Holly Willoughby from Monday to Thursdays, with Eamonn and Ruth taking over on Fridays up until 2020.

Eamonn told Dan Wootton on GB News: "I didn't know but I've subsequently found out from a very, very good source, because he [the runner] would arrive much earlier in the morning than I would for the programme, that he was delivered from Phillip’s London home."

He added: "Usually on a Friday morning, because Thursday was playtime when he and Phillip would hit the town and then he obviously stayed overnight.

"There are records to show that he was brought in the next day separately in cars paid for by ITV."

Dan asked: "So the management would have had to have known about that?"

He responded: "Unless Phillip paid the bills separately, but it would still have to go through the Accounts Office that they would have seen that and known that and this lad, lovely fellow, lovely fella, really good talented fella.

"Ruth and I particularly looked after him, he never once talked to us about any relationship, but we knew he was in a bad way and he was in a bad way fragilely."

Before the interview aired, Eamonn tweeted: "A lie unchallenged becomes the Truth ...... not on my watch it doesn't Pip. Tonight is for all my workmates over the years who were frightened and ignored by you and your controlling , coercive behaviour. All you who no one listened to. I'm here for you."
