Tensions soared between Phil and Eamonn's wife and fellow presenter Ruth Langsford when Phil cut her off during a segment on Loose Women.
Furious, Ruth launched an official complaint to ITV over his behaviour, and eight other employees told us that the host was "toxic".
Eamonn shared his thoughts on Phil via a newspaper supplement interview – he said: “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 would have snubbed me like that.”
Holly and Phil's relationship is said to have been strained for a long time behind the scenes.
