    TELLY presenter Eamonn Holmes claims he was "lied to" when Phillip Schofield announced he was gay on This Morning. 

    The ex-sofa star turned GB News anchor slammed Schofield on Twitter after Phil admitted he cheated on his wife Stephanie. 

    Schofield, 61, confessed to having an affair with a "younger male colleague" who he met as a teenager while still married to Steph.

    His former co-star Eamonn congratulated the star back in 2020 when he came out as gay during a live broadcast by ITV.

    Holmes has since taken to Twitter to slam Schofield, sensationally claiming that he and his wife Ruth Langsford were "lied to".  

    Sharing a clip of Phil's coming out announcement, Eamonn wrote: "Ruth and I [were] deceived and lied to. (sic)

    "One day I will tell the story. We had no issue with him being Gay, only support. (sic) 

    "What transpired took us for fools. The man told us complete lies and we unfortunately believed him." 

    Holmes later tweeted: "Schofield has finally been caught out." 

    Bosses at ITV slammed Phil for lying about the affair and his talent managers have since dropped him after the announcement.  

    "The first thing I want to say is: I am deeply sorry for having lied," Schofield told the Daily Mail. 

    He added: "I am painfully conscious that I have lied to my employers at ITV…

    "…to my colleagues and friends, to my agents, to the media and therefore the public, and most importantly of all to my family."   

    "I am so very, very sorry, as I am for having been unfaithful to my wife."
