Schofield Returns to TV, Sparks New Controversy

Phillip Schofield has returned to television with Channel 5's 'Cast Away', reigniting public and media interest in his departure from ITV following his admission of an affair with a younger colleague. Holly Willoughby, his former co-host on 'This Morning', has faced criticism from Schofield, who has accused her of contributing to his downfall and branded her a 'witch'. Nadia Sawalha has defended Holly, expressing frustration at the tendency to blame women in such public scandals. Meanwhile, Eamonn Holmes, another former 'This Morning' host, has dismissed accusations that his feud with Schofield is driven by jealousy, attributing his departure from ITV to ratings issues. Schofield's friends claim Holmes' animosity began after a critical article he wrote, while Holmes insists Schofield himself is responsible for his own controversies.
