Watch the moment fuming Eamonn Holmes snaps at co-host live on air as she defends Phillip Schofield over his new show
FUMING Eamonn Holmes snapped at his co-host live on air after she defended Phillip Schofield today.
Eamonn, 64, couldn’t contain his anger when Isabel Webster, 41, fought Phillip‘s corner following the airing of his TV comeback last night.
Channel 5 viewers watched the former This Morning host break down in tears while marooned on a desert island for Cast Away.
Phillip appeared to have won over Isabel as he reflected on his life-changing his departure from TV after an “ill advised” affair destroyed his career.
But when she shared her thoughts on GB News Breakfast, the anchor was shut down by an angry Eamonn.
Isabel had insisted the presenter “hadn’t done anything illegal” in his relationship, to which the Northern Irish star shot back: “Why is that even relevant? He met the boy when he was 15, so why do you keep on pushing that?”
Just yesterday, Eamonn – who has long been embroiled in a bitter feud with Phil – said he was “proud” to have thrown his former colleague “under the bus” in a livid rant.
He barked: “Well if I’m one of the people who threw him under the bus I am very proud to have done it and protected children.
“People who are under age.”
Eamonn then said the instance was being made out to be “one situation” and added: “I think he [Phil] is where he deserves to be.”
Isabel read out a statement from Phil which had said his conduct wasn’t illegal but was ill-advised.
Eamonn, whipping off his glasses, was eager to get stuck in further.
Referring to Phil he bluntly said: “This man is addicted to fame.
“Absolutely addicted to fame.”
After the chat rumbled on he said: “I know people in junior positions in television and if I thought they were being taken advantage of in such a way then somebody needs to stand up and say ‘people like him shouldn’t exist and shouldn’t be allowed’.”
Yet off-screen, Eamonn has also had his fair share of struggles of late.
Eamonn and Ruth’s decision to divorce in May stunned fans.
They were then left fearing for Loose Women anchor Ruth after her ex touched down in Spain with new girlfriend Katie Alexander for a romantic getaway.
A source close to Phil has today told us: “Phil finds it ironic that Eamonn is slamming him and went for him after his affair with a younger man emerged… and now he’s been exposed for having a relationship with a younger woman.”
TELLY TROUBLES
It came after Phil himself suggested he was “thrown under the bus” by ITV colleagues in a veiled dig at former co-star Holly Willoughby.
We exclusively reported his comments from the new documentary as he discussed how he was forced to leave This Morning after 22 years – and hinted at a lack of support from his long-time friend and co-host Holly, 43.
He says in the segment: “I miss parts of being on TV, certainly. I miss most of it, if I’m honest, I miss most of it.
“But there are bits that I really, really, really don’t miss.
“You learn a lot about people, I don’t miss that.”
He also blasted “three s**ts in showbiz” as he opened up on betrayal.
Ex-World’s Strongest Man Eddie Hall becomes a dad for fourth time and shares adorable video of two-minute old daughter
EDDIE HALL posted an adorable family snap as he became a father for the fourth time.
The 36-year-old revealed yesterday that he has welcomed a daughter to the world.
Hall shared the happy news on social media, posting a cute video of his baby taken when she was just two minutes old.
He also uploaded a photo of him sat by his wife of 12 years Alexandra as she held her newborn in a hospital bed.
Hall’s son Maximus, 11, and his younger sister, 1, were also in the picture.
Fans of the 2017 World Strongest Man congratulated him, with one saying: “Beautiful. Sending our love.”
Another joked: “She can already bench twice as me, congrats.”
A third wrote: “Massive congratulations to you both.”
More commented: “So happy for you all.”
Hall also has a daughter named Layla from a previous relationship.

Married At First Sight UK’s first intruders revealed as wild ‘wrecking ball’ and a WEDDING planner
MARRIED At First Sight UK’s first intruders have been revealed as a wild ‘wrecking ball’ and a wedding planner.
The show format often sees intruder couples brought in around this mark, to amp up the drama.
Last year, it saw viewers introduced to the likes of Erica and Jordan, and JJ and Bianca.
And now, viewers can get ready to welcome health and fitness business owner Hannah, 33, from Cheshire, and Blackburn-based wedding planner Amy, 27.
A source told The Sun: “Hannah is wild – she comes in like a wrecking ball and will shake up the show. And Amy’s a real character – she’s not shy about looking for love so has high hopes the experts will work their magic and find her a match for life.”
Hannah, 33, health and fitness business owner, Cheshire
Hannah is described as “fun, fabulous, with big opinions but no filter.”
The bio of the new bride continues: “Hannah is quite the extrovert, who doesn’t stick to the norm.
“Straying away from how the rest of her family live, Hannah hasn’t gone down the route of settling down early and has focused on growing her business instead.
“Beneath the tough and ambitious exterior, Hannah admits she’s put up walls but does have a softer side that she lets people see every now and again.
“Single for two years, she believes she’s only ever met boys and not men. She wants someone who is strong, keen and ready to keep up with her energy and give her the time and effort she deserves.”
Amy, 27, wedding planner, Blackburn
Wedding planner Amy will already be familiar to weddings due to the nature of her job.
She’s described as someone who is “Happy to relinquish control and leave her love life in the hands of experts who can do the hard work for her,” and she’s hoping they’ll “help her find someone who she can truly fall in love with.”
Amy’s bride bio goes on: “Northern girl Amy has spent the last few years planning weddings at an events management company, where she’s been helping brides and grooms create the dream day she’s always wanted.
“Looking at wedding dresses and venues, and tasting cake samples every day, Amy is constantly reminded of just how single she is.”
The hopeful bride has had three serious relationships that “never felt right.”
Amy’s wedding is set to air on Thursday this week, while Hannah’s will be early next week.
It comes as one of the show couples didn’t get the happy ending they were hoping for as one of the brides was spotted kissing her new partner in Ibiza over the weekend.
Mafs couples that have stood the test of time
Loved-up Tayah Victoria and Adam Aveling of series six fame had the first Mafs baby.
The pair couldn’t keep their hands off each other on the programme and quickly found their feet in the outside world, moving into Adam’s Doncaster home.
Just 18 months after meeting, the couple welcomed their daughter Beau.
Season five couple Michelle Walder and Owen Jenkins also managed to make their marriage work away from the cameras and had their first child in December.
Teacher Michelle, 29, has no regrets about taking part in the experiment. She told us: “I just feel very lucky and thankful that it has worked out – and excited for everything to come.”
Michelle and Owen were both sick of dating apps when they applied in 2019.
Owen recalled: “I had been out for some drinks with a friend after work.
“While he was out for a cigarette I was scrolling on Instagram waiting for him to come back in.
“The MAFS advert was the last thing I saw, and I joked, ‘Wouldn’t it be funny if I signed up?’
“A few beers later when I was back at home I sent in the application, and the rest is history.”
Another couple to make Mafs UK history is Zoe Clifton and Jenna Robinson.
Despite a slight rocky start, where they clashed over Jenna’s vegan lifestyle, the show’s first same sex pairing are still going strong.
They even have a successful podcast together called Life With a Pod.
Jenna shed light on being involved in the show earlier this year when she told us: “We’re not legally married, and I never felt like we were. I definitely feel the process makes you take the relationship a lot more seriously and having the help of the experts… if you can survive that process it sets a firm foundation for a long-lasting relationship.”
This comes as a bit of a spoiler to fans of MAFS, which has not yet aired the episode revealing whether or not Eve and Charlie’s marriage was a success.
Eve, a fitness instructor from Belfast and now infamous star of MAFS, married co-star Charlie the day they met.
After explosive rows and Charlie quitting their honeymoon in tears, viewers have seen them agreeing to give their TV marriage another go.
However, she was caught kissing and holding her new lover in the airport before flying back to Belfast from the Spanish island, best known for its party scene.
The photo, which shows Eve, 31, and her new lover standing in the queue at the check-in desk, was taken around 11:45 on Sunday.
An onlooker told The Sun the couple was seen kissing multiple times, and when Eve noticed them, she put up her hood to better hide her face.
The onlooker said: “As a fan of MAFS UK I was shocked to see Eve with her hand around someone else other than Charlie.
“I was really rooting for them and they were one of my favourite couples.”
“[Eve] seemed really loved up with the girl at the airport. She had her arm around Eve’s waist as they were waiting to check in their bags.
“[Eve] seemed in a really bad mood. Then when we took the photo she put up her hood as if she didn’t want to be seen”.
The series was filmed earlier this year and is two weeks into its run on E4.
Sky Sports agree cut-price last-minute deal to save England clash from TV blackout
ENGLAND’S upcoming Test series against Pakistan is set to be shown by Sky Sports, reports suggest.
The series, due to start on October 7, had failed to find a home on television.
However, The Times are now reporting that Sky Sports are set to secure a late deal to shown the games and prevent a TV blackout.
Sky Sports have been in talks with the Pakistan Cricket Board to ensure the three-match series will be accessible to viewers in England.
It’s understood a deal has been struck after the PCB lowered the rights fee for the series.
Sky then managed to reach an agreement, with the deal set to be announced in the coming days.
The BBC is also expected to announce a deal of its own.
They have reportedly secured a deal to ensure that Test Match Special can broadcast all three games.
The first Test will be held in Multan from October 7-11.
The second Test will remain in the same location as part of a revised plan from October 15-19.

The third Test will then be held in Rawalpindi from October 24-28.
ECB Chief Executive Officer Richard Gould said: “We’re really excited to be returning to Pakistan for this three-match men’s Test tour in October.
“Our last men’s Test tour of Pakistan produced some memorable matches and I’m sure fans can look forward to more exciting cricket across this forthcoming series.”
The Test squad departs on Tuesday, just days after a damp one-day series defeat to Australia.
Fortnite is down but it could save you money when it comes back online
FORTNITE is down, and it’s not the only issue going on in gaming today (October 1).
PlayStation has also gone down, and there are reports of problems with Fortnite on Android, due to a falling out with Google and Samsung.
However, the downtime that Fortnite players are experiencing may have nothing to do with these other two issues based on which platform you are playing on.
PC, Nintendo Switch, Xbox, and iOS players are all experiencing Fortnite outages, despite those platforms remaining stable.
If this is you, don’t panic. Many players are having issues because of scheduled downtime.
Fortnite started downtime for the v31.30 update on Tuesday, October 1, 2024, from 1am PT / 4am ET / 9am BST.
Maintenance will likely last for a few hours, ending around 3am PT / 6am ET / 11am BST.
It may take longer or shorter than this, depending on how smoothly the update goes.
The most interesting part of the update is that there will be a big focus on how it saves players’ energy.
Not only will it save on energy bills but it will also stop players from leaving their games on to grind XP.
As it stands, you get XP for every match you participate in, even if you don’t do anything during the match.
It’s meant to reward people who are not as skilled at the game, but it has led players to leave their game on for hours just so that they can gain XP.
Not only does this give those players an unfair advantage against others, but it also makes the game less fun for them.
If a large number of people playing the 100-person battle royale mode aren’t actually playing, then it is not as fun and chaotic to play.
The new update will put the game into sleep mode if someone hasn’t played for more than 15 minutes.
Not only will this save on energy bills, but it will prevent players from laying dormant on maps.
The update will also include skins for Fortnite’s annual Halloween event Fortnitemares.
This year we know that skins for the puppet from Saw and Leatherface will be joining the game, but there will likely be many more.
