The married presenter's career was thought to be over after he admitted to lying about an affair with a young male runner on This Morning.
Eamonn Holmes saw red on Tuesday while discussing the fallout from former colleague Phillip Schofield 's dramatic return to mainstream TV.
'Why is that even relevant?' he barked. 'He met the boy when he was 15, so why do you keep on pushing that?' 'This man is addicted to fame, absolutely addicted to fame,' he claimed, adding the presenter 'deserved' to be in exile. The former This Morning host said: 'Strangely, I think another TV presenter or two might have done exactly the same thing.
Discussing his return with GB News co-host Isabel Webster, Holmes reacted angrily after she insisted the presenter 'hadn't done anything illegal' in having the affair An external review, carried out by Jane Mulcahy KC on behalf of ITV found the channel made 'considerable efforts' to find out the truth about an alleged affair between Schofield and a runner in 2019, but was not able to find evidence about the rumours.
His 54-year-old brother was convicted in April 2023 of 11 sexual offences involving a child between October 2016 and October 2019, including two of sexual activity with a child 'We stood by him through his brother's court case and he then stepped away when things became too much. There was a lot going on and some relationships on the programme had become untenable as was reported at the time.
On the Channel 5 show he said he refused 'to name and refuse to acknowledge' his brother who he claimed he had 'absolutely no qualms whatsoever in shopping' to police, who he said had 'praised' him for getting 'justice done'. 'What? because of what? 'Think it's the publicity, mate', that's got nothing to do with me, that has nothing to do with me.
Schofield infamously described his affair as 'unwise but not illegal'. He admitted he once met the man at 15, but insisted they did not begin a relationship till he was 20 The presenter has been married to Stephanie Lowe since 1993 and the pair share two daughters: Molly, 31, and Ruby, 28.
