PHILLIP Schofield and former This Morning colleague Eamonn Holmes squared up to each other in a bitter war of words yesterday.
Schofield, who quit after lying about an affair with a young male colleague, said claims there was a toxic culture on the ITV show were inaccurate.
He blamed a handful of people with a grudge for the damning remarks.
But Holmes, 63, called Schofield, 61, delusional and said he had picked the wrong person if he wanted a fight.
The spat came as bosses continued to fight to save This Morning from the axe and co-host Holly Willoughby, 42, pledged to stick with the show.
Yesterday, Schofield said: “Now I no longer work on This Morning I am free to say this.
“I hope you have noticed that it’s the same handful of people with a grudge against me or the show who seem to have the loudest voice.
