Eamonn Holmes has sent Phillip Schofield a direct message, calling his former coworker “toxic” and accusing him of abusing his power.
Schofield resigned from ITV last week and was dropped by his talent agency after admitting to an “unwise, but not illegal” affair with a young male colleague on the channel’s flagship programme, This Morning.
In an exclusive interview on GB News, Holmes looked directly down the camera and said to Schofield: “I think Philip is absolutely right about toxicity.
"But my friend, the toxicity is not with me, Dan Wootton or anyone else. The toxicity is with you, and your mates in management, and everybody who kept you in power, and an abuse of power for so long.
“If I'm guilty of anything, it's speaking up for all those researchers who you ignored all those producers who you treated like dirt, all those people who are texting and phoning me and Dan Wootton and saying, “we feel now empowered to come out and tell the public the truth”.
