Eamonn Holmes launched a blistering attack on his former This Morning co-stars Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby on Monday morning.

Amid crisis talks at ITV over the future of its two top stars, Eammon called the partnership ‘a broken fit’ as he discussed the fallout on his GB News show.

Referring to Sunday night’s BAFTA TV Awards, at which neither Phil or Holly made an appearance, Eammon quipped: ‘I think there should have been a special award for Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby for best actors.’

‘They may or may not be together on the telly today. The public surely will suss that there’s no chemistry, that it’s a broken fit between the two of them and that This Morning does not depend on who presents it.’

Continuing the ex This Morning star insisted: ‘It’s an institution, it will carry on no matter who presents it and anyone can check the viewing figures, there’s no difference between whether they present it or anyone else.’

Eamonn co-hosted the ITV daytime show with his wife Ruth Langsford from 2006 until August 2021, until being ‘dropped’ by ITV and replaced by Alison Hammond and Dermot O’Leary.

Meanwhile Phil and Holly both looked solemn as they set off for work early on Monday where they will be together on the This Morning despite their degenerating relationship.

The 61-year-old, wearing jeans, a casual shirt and boots, strode out of his West London home at around 6.30am and into a waiting BMW.

At 10am millions will be watching This Morning as he appears on screen with Holly following crisis talks between ITV and the embattled pair over whether one of them, both or neither would be on air today.

Phil is trying to ‘tough out’ the ongoing row after it emerged he had called in his own lawyers over the fallout with his co-presenter, sources have revealed. He has also employed a new PR man to help improve his press coverage.

It comes as ITV confirmed that the pair will host the show this morning, after more than 48 hours of crisis talks. Those close to the pair said today’s programme will continue to run smoothly, despite the feuding behind the scenes.

One source told The Sun: ‘Holly and Phil are professionals and they can turn it on like no one else.

‘Although behind the scenes their relationship is nothing like it was, they are both dedicated to This Moring and keeping it together for viewers.’

Bosses from the broadcaster were allegedly furious after Schofield, 61, broke his silence with a shock statement about the fall out with his co-host of 14 years admitting ‘the last few weeks haven’t been easy for us’.

Despite this, Schofield believes he can weather the ongoing storm but even those close to him have said it is down to whether the audience believes the pair still have on-screen chemistry.
