Eamonn Holmes' long-standing animosity towards Phillip Schofield has reportedly intensified, with Holmes expressing no remorse for his public outbursts that many believe contributed to the issues in his marriage to Ruth Langsford. A close source revealed that despite the tension, Holmes remains firm in his criticisms of Schofield, which left Ruth feeling uncomfortable towards the end of their relationship.
Ruth, a regular on ITV’s Loose Women, reportedly found it difficult to navigate her husband’s public grievances with the network and his feelings of betrayal after they were axed from This Morning. The couple, who announced their separation in May after 14 years of marriage, cited work commitments as a factor that led them in different directions. Since the split, Eamonn has been seen vacationing with his new girlfriend, Katie Alexander.
The feud between Eamonn and Phillip has grown to be one of the most notable in the world of show business. A source explained to MailOnline that although Eamonn's dislike for Phillip had existed for some time, it became highly public towards the end of his marriage. As Eamonn's disdain for both Phillip and ITV deepened, so did the cracks in his relationship with Ruth.
"Ruth wasn’t thrilled about it, particularly because she’s still part of the Loose Women family, which made Eamonn’s criticisms of ITV awkward for her," the source said.
Despite the fallout, Eamonn shows no signs of regret. "He doesn’t believe he threw Phillip under the bus," the source added. "He thinks Phillip is addicted to fame and doesn’t understand his attempts at a relaunch with his documentary."
While some speculate that Eamonn's comments about Phillip and ITV contributed to the breakdown of his marriage, a source close to the presenter denied this, insisting it had no direct impact on their split.
