Eamonn Holmes reignites feud with Phillip Schofield by slamming TV tribute to This Morning star and branding ITV ‘liars’
EAMONN Holmes has reignited his feud with Phillip Schofield by slamming his recent TV tribute.
In a special edition dedicated to his 40 years on TV, Phillip appeared on Monday morning's Lorraine.
And it appeared to irritate Eamonn who was dropped from his Friday slot on This Morning with wife Ruth Langsford in November 2020 after 14 years.
He liked a tweet which read: "This #lorraine show is bizarre.. why not celebrate 40 years on #thismorning instead of another show?"
