In a bombshell interview Eamonn Holmes opened up about he and his wife Ruth Langsford's 'feud' with Phillip Schofield after his ITV axe.
TV fans first got a hint something wasn't right between Ruth, 63, and Phillip, 61, during a This Morning crossover to Loose Women. Viewers at home saw Phil abruptly cut off Ruth during the crossover, where she could be seen visibly shocked at the rude incident.

Phil added: "Thank you Ruth and we'll catch you guys a little bit later." Looking put out by the interaction, Ruth quipped back: "I only had about two more words to say - don’t worry."
Eamonn rushed to his wife's defence following the incident and said he felt 'sorry' for the way Phil had treated her.
Defending his wife, he told the Daily Mail Weekend magazine: "Phillip is renowned for snubbing people. He's very passive-aggressive. It's up to Ruth to say how she felt, but I was feeling hurt for her. No-one
