Over the weekend, Phillip Schofield released a statement announcing he was ‘stepping down’ from his presenter role on This Morning, but arch nemesis Eamonn Holmes has now revealed that this isn’t exactly true.
For the second time in as many weeks, Holmes was ripping into Phil & Holly on GB News when he claimed that Schofield had actually been sacked:
Please, let’s stop this, he was sacked.
All this nonsense about, ‘I’ve decided to step down’ I’m sure you did. Now here’s your P45, now step down. Why do we propagate this language?
‘I’ve decided to step down’ and [Holly] says the couch won’t feel the same without him people there. Well she wanted him not there, so why is she moaning about the couch not feeling the same for? They deserve each other.
Just last week, Holmes said Phil & Holly should win a ‘Best Actors’ award after pretending to like each other for so many years, and it seems he’s pretty happy about the fact that the alleged issues between the pair have finally been brought to light.
Schofield had taken time away from the show after his paedophile brother was found guilty of sexually abusing a teenage boy over a three-year period, and word was that this infuriated Holly whose three kids have spent time around Phil’s family. Not to mention Phil’s own indiscretions; cheating on his wife with a lad who is just legal, and who he’d known since the lad was a child.
Well, we really shouldn’t insinuate anything about that. All we know is that Phil won’t be on This Morning again and Holly remains on hiatus as Dermot O’Leary and Alison Hammond fill in. Just a totally unceremonious end to the Phil & Holly era. Where will Schofield pop up next?
