Eamonn Holmes said he was proud to have thrown Phillip Schofieldunder the bus during a rant live on GB News on Monday, 30 September.
The former This Morning presenter, 62, has claimed he was betrayed by those close to him when he left ITV last year after admitting he had lied about having an "unwise but not illegal" relationship with a younger man, who worked as a runner.
Schofield's comments came during his return to TV on Channel 5’s reboot of Cast Away.
Speaking of his former ITV colleague, Holmes said: "If I am one of the people who threw him under the bus, I am very proud to have done it and protected children, people who are underage."
