Eamonn Holmes has clapped back at those turning on him over his outspoken views on the Phillip Schofield scandal after they appeared to spot a fresh 'swipe'. The GB News host has been more than vocal with his thoughts on the headlines involving his former colleague.
Phillip, 61, quit This Morning last month before later stepping back from ITV altogether after admitting to lying to his co-host and friend Holly Willoughby as well as his employers about a secret relationship with a much younger ITV colleague.
After taking part in two bombshell interviews with The Sun and the BBC, Eamonn blasted the "lies" admitted to by his former co-star during his GB News breakfast show with co-star Isabel Webster. He also took aim at Holly ahead what was a tearful return to This Morning as she issued statement, putting in a scathing dig: "You think she's got a big mouth? She won't be using it today."

After sharing his thoughts, Eamonn has since returned to social media with a post in which he asked followers to vote for his TV breakfast show to receive an award. The image revealed he and Isabel had been nominated for a National Reality TV Award for Best News Programme.
The 63-year-old kicked off his post by writing in the caption: "Let’s face it… it doesn’t get more real than us!" He then added: "Your support for Isabel and me would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance... Vote via the website if u can."
But his choice of words didn't go down too well with everyone as one follower replied: "I’m really disappointed too in the recent behaviour and unnecessary comments. Contributing to the persecution of another person, I Don’t feel a vote is really deserved at the minute. Shame for Isabelle though."
However, Eamonn didn't seem to agree as he popped back: "Sue, I'm sorry u have difficulty in understanding who was persecuted." But he appeared not to address any more of the negative comments as he continued to respond to other comments including one from Tonia Buxton which read: "Team Eamonn & Isabel all the way."
