The 10 biggest reactions to Eamonn Holmes' damning Phillip Schofield interview
Former ITV presenter Eamonn Holmes has sparked a big reaction following his damning interview with GB News about Phillip Schofield. Holmes and Schofield were former colleagues on ITV’s morning TV show This Morning before Holmes left the show in December 2021. In a tell-all interview, after it emerged publicly that Schofield was having an affair with a male staff member many years his junior and resigned from ITV, Holmes accused the TV network of a “cover-up” and said Schofield created a “toxic” atmosphere. In an interview with Dan Wootton on GB News, Holmes claimed that the younger male colleague would be “delivered from Philip’s London home” to the ITV studio in a car after having stayed at his London home “in cars paid for by ITV”. Holmes also claimed that the affair was “known by virtually every staff member both on and off screen” and that ITV covered it up until Schofield made the admission himself in a statement. In his interview, Holmes said: “Those in authority had to know what was going on and they thought they would dodge a bullet with this.” Sign up to our free Indy100 weekly newsletter The bombshell interview prompted some to discuss their thoughts on the whole saga and left some questioning why it is only now that Holmes has decided to speak up about it. “I love watching Eamonn Holmes struggling to pair the ‘I knew nothing’ with the ‘I knew everything’ Schofield narrative. Pick one or the other Eamonn FFS.” Another said: “This whole Schofield saga shows just what an empty house of cards this whole media industry is, and reveals what a bunch of nasty narcissists they all are. “Not just Schofield, but Eamonn Holmes, Dan Wootton, Dr Ranj, Holly Willoughby, all of them self-serving fakes.” Meanwhile, others congratulated Holmes for speaking up. Someone tweeted: “@EamonnHolmes brilliant interview with @danwootton. Get it all out there for an enquiry which obvs needs investigating. “Eamonn would have never gone down this road if he feared it would bite him on the bum. Time for a change @itv @thismorning well done for speaking the truth.” Another argued: “You can be disgusted by Philip Schofield and still be fed up [with] Dan Wooton, Eamonn Holmes, Dr Ranj and every other cretin jumping on this story for five minutes there’s nothing to be gained by ‘telling your truth’ now too little too late.” Have your say in our news democracy.

Offset sends fans into frenzy with intimate Cardi B video on Instagram stories
Rapper Offset has raised eyebrows and sparked a flurry of memes after sharing a very intimate video of himself and his partner and fellow rapper Cardi B on Instagram. The 31-year-old, real name Kiari Kendrell Cephus, known for hits such as 'Ric Flair Drip' and 'Ghostface Killers' has been married to Cardi B, real name Belcalis Marlenis Almánzar Cephus since 2017 and although their relationship is far from perfect they are now at a stage where they can comfortably share their most intimate moments with the world. In the Instagram story, Offset can be seen caressing Cardi's tattooed backside with great affection. With one hand planted firmly on her bottom, his wife asks him: "Did you have a good day?" Sign up to our free Indy100 weekly newsletter Offset simply replies "Yes" before he adds: "I missed you so much" before the video comes to a swift end. And that is that, however, given the popularity of the two people involved the story has no doubt been watched countless times given the amount of memes that now exist about it. It should be no surprise that the couple's relationship is stronger than ever. In a recent interview with Variety Offset called Cardi B his "bestie" adding "We both are on the same mission to make each other better." Elsewhere, Offset is not the only rapper to recently cause a stir on Instagram. A few weeks ago Kevin Gates sparked alarm when he shared a very graphic video of a woman giving birth in his stories.

Kim Kardashian accused of 'acting middle class' following comments about her kids
Kim Kardashian is used to facing criticism by now and is once again being called out by fans after making a comment about struggling to raise four kids with ‘no one there’. Last week, the Skims founder went on Jay Shetty’s podcast On Purpose. After their very public divorce, Kim has been openly talking about being a single mother, raising her and Kanye West’s four children. Talking about the struggles of co-parenting, Kim shared that she can find it very difficult to parent her children and manage their mood swings with ‘no one there’ to help her out. Sign up to our free Indy100 weekly newsletter She added that parent "has been the most challenging thing." She told Shetty "there are nights I cry myself to sleep, like, 'what just happened?' With all the moods and the personalities." "Sometimes, it’s nights where we are going hour by house to see if we’re gonna survive. Night by night. If a tantrum comes in, oh my god. Your life is completely upside down," she shared. The internet were divided by Kim’s comments, with many noting the multiple nannies that Kim is often surrounded by, and that she failed to acknowledge that compared to average mothers she has a lot more support. With some accusing the billionaire of pretending to be 'middle class'. One person wrote: "She also talks as if she doesn’t have a full staff of people helping her wtf." Another added: "Kim has four nannies, one assigned to each kid. Motherhood is not hard. Nannies are raising her kids. She needs [to] stop trying to act like she’s middle class." However, others came to Kim’s defense saying that money and help doesn’t make being a mother any easier, especially a single mother. Fans said that her feelings and pain were valid and that she is still human. One person said: "She may be extremely successful, and [has] nannies…but what she speaks about with four kids and one mama…is spot on." Another wote: "Even though she’s a multimillionaire and famous, her story and her pain is still valid. She’s a human like the rest of us, and she’s allowed to feel and suffer, too."
