Phillip Schofield has defended his This Morning co-star Eamonn Holmes after he was accused of ruining his announcement that he is gay
February 08, 2020 - 10:20 GMT Jenni McKnight Phillip Schofield has defended his This Morning co-star Eamonn Holmes after he was accused of"ruining" his announcement that he is gay. The 57-year-old bravely opened up about his sexuality on Friday morning, sharing a post on social media before appearing on the ITV show alongside best friend and co-host Holly Willoughby.
"There's this great imponderable in life, which has always irritated me, I thought, 'How come he can sit in a hot tub with Holly Willoughby and Steph doesn't have a problem and Dan [Holly's husband] doesn't have a problem,'" Eamonn said before Phil quickly changed the subject. Eamonn's joke didn't sit well with some viewers who accused him of ruining Phillip's moment.
Eamonn also shared a photo on the social networking site of him and Phillip embracing, which he captioned:"A picture paints a thousand words. This is a man who was in pain, who today confided in Ruth and I and who knows we stand in support of him, his family and his sexuality.... Also unlike some, he appreciated a laugh to break the tension. @Schofe hoping you find happiness.
