Eamonn Holmes appeared back on ITV just one day after appearing to reignite his feud with Phillip Schofield.
The former This Morning presenter was sensationally axed from the show in 2018 and has never shied away from sharing his opinion on Phillip Schofield.
On Saturday, the 61-year-old announced he was stepping down from the show with immediate effect following his dramatic fallout with former friend Holly Willoughby.
Eammon, 63, took to social media shortly after and shared what appeared to be a cryptic swipe at Schofield just 24 hours before his first ITV appearance since 2018.
The veteran broadcaster appeared on a celebrity edition of The Chase alongside Danny John-Jules, Tom Bosworth and Yunka Bokinni.
Eamonn went on to achieve a whopping £6,000 in the opening cash-building round and later went head-to-head with Jenny 'The Vixen' Ryan in the next stage.
Despite his incredible win, Eamonn chanced things and accepted the higher offer of £143,000 for charity.
Sadly, he was ultimately caught by Jenny after he incorrectly pressed the wrong button before being given the boot and sent home.
This didn't matter to fans who instantly took to Twitter to share their excitement, with one writing: "Expecting big things here with @EamonnHolmes #TheChase."
A second added: "I hope Philip Schofield is watching ITV tonight. A question about This Morning on Family Fortunes and now Eamonn Holmes on #TheChase."
"So is @EamonnHolmes appearing on #TheChase tonight also a coincidence? @ITV programmers are definitely earning their pay tonight," said a second.
While a third commented: "Eamonn put him back on This Morning with Ruth #TheChase."
The Chase is filmed several weeks if not months in advance.
Just hours after Phillip announced his dramatic resignation from This Morning, Eamonn took to social media sharing a snap of his granddaughter planting a kiss on his cheek.
Captioning his upload, he penned: " Pappa got a smacker. Thank u Emilia. All in all that rounded off what turned out to be a good day".
Fans who thought the former This Morning presenter was hinting at Phillip's exit responded back to the Irish journalist. One follower wrote: "Ha ha Eamonn, I know you must be happy with the news".
Another added: "I see what you did there. Love it".
Before a third commented: "Fantastic pic and epic comment. karma."
"Best day. Don't seek revenge, let the rotten apples fall by themselves," added a fourth.
Phillip shared on Saturday that he was stepping down after over two decades on the show.
