He seemed to reignite his feud with ITV last month during a GB News segment, explaining some people in his life are “dead to him”.
Eamonn said on the show: “There are other people who have got names who are dead to me whose names I can’t…”
His co-star Isabel Webster said: “Let’s not go there,” but Eamonn wasn’t to be deterred. He said: “That’s the thing. Once you cross…there are evil people. Let’s face it there are evil people and in the fight against good or evil, which I am good. The only sort of enemy you want is a defeated enemy.”
Though Eamonn didn’t explicitly mention ITV, he’s well known for his feuds with the channel – branding the network “sly” for his axe from This Morning.

He also branded Phillip Schofield “passive aggressive”.
As for Saira, she claimed the “straw that broke the camel’s back” and caused her to quit Loose Women was when producers asked if she would join racy subscription site OnlyFans.
She told The Mirror: “To say I was shocked was an understatement. I could see she herself was mortified to ask me. I replied, ‘You’re asking an Asian woman who has a husband and kids and comes from a Muslim family to open an OnlyFans account?’”
A spokesperson for Loose Women, however, said: “We strongly refute all of these claims. Duty of care is of paramount importance for all of our panellists. Saira left the panel almost two years ago and we wish her well.”
