Eamonn Holmes is reportedly “raging” that his long-term colleague Phillip Schofield misspelled his name in every single reference to him in his newly released memoir, Life Is What You Make It.
There have been reports of tension between the two ever since last year when Eamonn’s wife Ruth Langsford allegedly filed an official complaint against Phil at ITV over cutting her off mid-link. However, since Phil bravely came out as gay back in February, they had nothing but kind things to say about each other.
Now it looks as though Phil has reignited the feud by spelling Eamonn’s name with one ‘n’ instead of two in all four references to him in the book.
“Eamonn, with two n’s, is raging. How did no one pick up on this in 400 pages?” said a source.
“If it’s a joke, Eamonn certainly wasn’t in on it and the error has ruffled feathers, yet again.”
