What has Eamonn Holmes said about Phillip and Holly?

He’s claimed colleagues “hated” Phil on This Morning, made various allegations about his affair, and ITV ‘covered it up’.

Eamonn has also indicated Phillip “lied” to him personally and hinted he reckons further claims could emerge.

Additionally, the former This Morning Friday show presenter also claims Holly is “distant” with production staff and suggested she should also leave. Furthermore, Eamonn has slammed Holly as “false”, and dismissed her friendship with Alison Hammond as “nonsense”.

However, while his latest swipe on Instagram saw him applauded by his devoted fans, others felt he was being “bitter”.

Eamonn Holmes latest

Sharing a post on Insta over the weekend (Saturday June 10), Eamonn asked followers to vote for his breakfast show to receive an award.

He wrote in the upload’s caption: “Let’s face it… it doesn’t get more real than us!”

It doesn’t get more real than us!

But not everyone approved of Eamonn’s latest remarks.

One unimpressed commenter told him: “I’m really disappointed in the recent behaviour and unnecessary comments. Contributing to the persecution of another person. I don’t feel a vote is really deserved at the minute.”

To which Eamonn replied: “I’m sorry you have difficulty in understanding who was persecuted.”

How Eamonn’s fans reacted

Commenters on Eamonn’s post seemed to be split. Many supporters offered him their approval – but others criticised him.

“Disappointed in how Eamonn Holmes has been so, vitriolic recently,” one person wrote.

“Gone down totally in my estimation,” chipped in another.

And someone else accused Eamonn: “Holmes has just turned into a bitter old man.”
