Eamonn Holmes' brutal swipe at Phillip Schofield as he says he's 'proud' to have 'thrown him under the bus'

dailyrecord.co.uk:

Eamonn Holmes didn't hold back in his criticism of fellow broadcaster Phillip Schofield, proudly claiming he's one of those who "threw him under the bus".The GB News anchor expressed his distaste for the former This Morning host on his programme, following Phillip's announcement of a TV comeback 16 months after stepping away from his ITV roles due to a controversial but legal affair with a much younger colleague.Holmes remarked: "I believe he is where he deserves to be," and further stated: "I am one of the people who threw him under the bus, I am very proud to have done it."He continued his tirade by saying: "This man is addicted to fame.

Absolutely addicted to fame." This all comes as Schofield makes a dramatic return to television on Channel 5s 'Cast Away', which saw him surviving for 10 days on a deserted island filmed only by a few cameras, reports the Mirror.

Previously, after leaving his position more than a year prior, Schofield dismissed suggestions that he was "forced out" of This Morning, admitting regrets for not being truthful with the channel, his team, and his wife.

However, post his solitary reflection on Nosy Ankarea, an island off Madagascar's coast, he felt he had been "thrown under the bus".Sharing reflections on his career, Phillip recounted his early days at the BBC and his fond memories of the Television Centre, later home to ITVs This Morning.He remarked poignantly: "When what happened to me happened to me, it screwed up my favourite building in the world, and it pretty well blew away all those happy memories, and suddenly the place became hostile to me, and that was heartbreaking.
