TV veteran Eamonn Holmes has made fresh claims about Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield's reign at ITV. Sitting down for Dan Wootton Tonight on GB News on Monday night, the 63 year old jumped onto the subject of Phil's latest statement, decrying accusations of creating a toxic culture within the This Morning production. "This Morning IS the best show to work on, with the best people.
In all the years I worked there there was no toxicity," read a snippet of Phillip's statement. "You can listen to those persistently loud voices if you like. But the thousands of guests over the years, thousands of staff and crew, hundreds of presenters and contributors all know, it IS a family of wonderful, talented, kind and hardworking people." Rubbishing those words, Eamonn told Dan: "This nonsense that he wrote today about toxicity, but it's a happy place and whatever...
holy God, what planet does this man live on? "He created an atmosphere where people hated him, that people would avoid [him and Holly] in the corridor, he didn't look at anybody, he didn't know anybody's name." Castigation then turned towards Holly, 42, who'll return to This Morning after a holiday next week. "Holly doesn't know people's names, either.This is legendary within the production teams, that how distant they are and how they just don't care," said the Northern Irishman. "Not only should Phillip go but Holly should follow him out the door.
I don't think you'll ever see Holly back on the couch again. It's about brand protection with her, her company, and advertising deals which looks like she's distancing herself from to protect herself." OK! has contacted both ITV and Holly's representatives for comment. Meanwhile, with whispers rife regarding the future

But ITV chiefs hit back at Eamonn’s criticism during a grilling by MPs this week - saying the TV presenter ‘reaped the rewards’ while he was working for the station. Reacting to that for the first time, Eamonn said on GB News on Thursday: “There’s a scene in a Few Good Men where Jack Nicholson shouts ‘you can’t handle the truth’.
Not one to mince her words, Kerry Katona, has decided that enough is enough and whilst she has "nothing against her" she really believes it's time for Holly Willoughby to hang up her hat and leave the hosting of This Morning to presenters better suited. And she has just the duo in mind. Kerry, 42, revealed last week how ITV failed to ask her is she "needed a doctor or any help" after her troubling 2008 sofa interview with Phillip and then-host, Fern Britton, and strongly believes that something has to change in wake of Phillip Schofield's shock scandal.
