Ruth Langsford made a comment that didn't go unnoticed by ITV viewers, as she appeared on This Morning for the first time since Phillip Schofield left the show at the weekend. And her time on screen came just hours after husband Eamonn Holmes made a scathing TV attack on Holly Willoughby.
Both before and after they lost their jobs as Friday hosts on This Morning. Ruth and Eamonn were the subject of reports that they didn't get on with Phillip and Holly and Eamonn did little to dispel those rumours when he laid into his former colleagues on GB News, accusing them of 'faking' their chemistry on camera and quipping that they should have won an acting accolade at the recent TV BAFTAs.
After a week of speculation about his future on This Morning and apparent strained relationship with Holly, Phillip took to Instagram on Saturday to conform he'd agreed to step down from his 21 year role as host, in a statement which acknowledged that 'the situation couldn't go on' and saw Phillip tell his fans he hoped This Morning would go onto a 'bright future.'
