GB NEWS EXCLUSIVE: EAMONN HOLMES – I KNOW THE TRUTH

EAMONN HOLMES has hit back at criticism following the Phillip Schofield row saying: “I know the truth.”

The former This Morning presenter spoke out last month in an exclusive GB News interview in which he described the “toxic culture” which he claimed existed on the ITV show.

Those comments were criticised during yesterday’s Parliamentary hearing, in which ITV bosses Carolyn McCall and Kevin Lygo were quizzed by MPs.

Mr Lygo pointed out the former presenters hitting out at the channel hadn’t made claims while they were at ITV. And, he added it “wasn’t surprising” to hear such comments.

Reacting to that for the first time, Eamonn said on GB News this morning: “There’s a scene in a Few Good Men where Jack Nicholson shouts ‘you can’t handle the truth’. Well, I know the truth and I know what the truth is.

“I know what I know and they [ITV] don’t seem to know a lot. People take sides on these things whether it’s the Boris business or the Phillip Schofield business. But people can’t handle the truth.”

Eamonn also repeated his demand, which he made yesterday that ITV bosses make public the evidence for how their investigation into Schofield’s affair was carried out.

He added: “I’d just like to see the documentary evidence and see what the quiz was and what the questions were. I’m surprised that wasn’t asked for because my understanding of it was both parties were basically asked are you OK, are you OK. Yes? Yes? OK, Both happy? And that was it….”
