Eammon Holmes saw red on Tuesday when he discussed the consequences of former colleague Phillip Schofield’s dramatic return to mainstream TV.
Schofield has divided Channel 5 viewers after traveling to a remote Indian Ocean island for new three-part series Cast Away – his first TV work since parting ways with ITV more than 18 months ago.
The married presenter’s career was thought to be over after he admitted lying about an affair with a young male runner on This Morning.
