    Eammon Holmes saw red on Tuesday when he discussed the consequences of former colleague Phillip Schofield’s dramatic return to mainstream TV.

    Schofield has divided Channel 5 viewers after traveling to a remote Indian Ocean island for new three-part series Cast Away – his first TV work since parting ways with ITV more than 18 months ago.

    The married presenter’s career was thought to be over after he admitted lying about an affair with a young male runner on This Morning.

    Discussing his return with GB News co-presenter Isabel Webster, Holmes reacted angrily after she insisted the presenter had ‘done nothing illegal’ by having the affair.

    “Why is that even relevant?” he barked. “He met the boy when he was fifteen, so why do you keep harping on that?”
