Eamonn Holmes has made another dig at Phillip Schofield, just days after his blistering attack on the This Morning host and his co-star Holly Willoughby.
The future of the ITV daytime programme appears to be up in the air after recent reports of a ‘fallout’ between Phil, 61, and Holly, 42.
While they have continued putting on a united front on the This Morning sofa, and Phil recently insisted they are ‘still the best of friends’, rumours have been swirling.
Speculation began when it was claimed the Dancing On Ice presenters were ‘barely speaking’ behind-the-scenes and that their relationship had ‘cooled’.
Reports have now escalated to claims that Phil is ‘refusing to quit This Morning’, with one source calling the situation a ‘runaway train that cannot be stopped’.
Just days ago, GB News host Eamonn, 63, launched a blistering attack on the pair, and now he’s taken another swipe.

The presenter, who used to host the Friday edition of This Morning with his wife Ruth Langsford, 63, liked a Tweet which read: ‘IMO one of the worst things they did was to shaft Ruth and Eamonn so that’s a drama alone.’
The Tweet, which Eamonn liked, was in response to a video clip shared in which Phil could be heard speaking over Ruth on Loose Women.
The Twitter user sharing the clip captioned it: ‘Phillip Schofield shutting Ruth Langsford down while she discusses Emmerdale’s grooming plot should have been a massive red flag from the start…’

Ruth and Eamonn were replaced by Alison Hammond, 48, and Dermot O’Leary, 49, on Friday’s This Morning, and he later went on to present on GB News.
Speaking on his programme on Monday May 15 alongside his co-host Isabel Webster, Eamonn addressed the rumours of Phillip and Holly’s fallout head-on, despite the pair failing to mention it on This Morning.
‘I think there should’ve been a special award for Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby for best actors,’ Eamonn said savagely.

‘They may or may not be together on the telly today, but he’s brought in lawyers, she’s brought in [a] PR team. The public surely have sussed that there’s no chemistry, that there’s a broken fit between the two of them.’
Eamonn continued stressing that in his opinion, This Morning ‘does not depend on who presents it’.
‘It’s an institution. It will carry on no matter who presents it, and anybody can check the viewing figures. There’s no difference between whether they present it or anyone else,’ he added.
This Morning airs weekdays from 10am on ITV1.
