While speaking to guest Ray Winstone, Eamonn opened up on inner-workings in the industry.
He said: "If I don't like someone, they'll know I don't like them.
"And there's so many horrible people that you end up... people say, "He's lovely, he's fantastic".
"They'll say to me, 'What's that Ray Winstone like?' and I'll say, 'He is lovely, he is fantastic'.
"People won't believe me because I wouldn't say if you weren't.
"There are so many who are just false, false, false."
Tensions boiled over in 2019 when Schofe cut off Ruth while she was in the middle of a live link, teasing what was coming up on Loose Women.
The incident ultimately led to Ruth making a complaint over his behaviour to ITV.

Previously speaking about it, Eamonn said: "Phillip is renowned for snubbing people.
"He's very passive-aggressive. It's up to Ruth to say how she felt, but I was feeling hurt for her. No one would have snubbed me like that.
"I have a good Belfast street fighter in me… I would be direct. I don't go for presenters who think they have a special privilege or aura or influence."
Earlier this year, Eamonn posed with Anthea Turner after ending their bitter 10-year feud.
The Northern Irishman affectionately placed a hand over Anthea's shoulder.
Eamonn captioned the snap: 'We're the same age @antheaturner and I and have had careers of similar length but my paper round must have been harder than hers! Top Girl.'
This reunion came more than two decades after their infamous fallout.

Director Danny Boyle on how 28 Years Later could be seen as an allegory for Brexit
Director Danny Boyle has said his latest film 28 Years Later could be seen as an allegory for Brexit. Boyle's original zombie horror, 28 Days Later, was a groundbreaking film which revitalised the genre. Now, his follow-up 28 Years Later gives an insight into how much of humanity is still standing almost three decades after the deadly Rage virus took hold. "It's a very ambitious picture of what's happened to the British mainland 28 years after the original infection," he tells Sky News. The film shows how mainland Europe has cut Britain off, the country is isolated, with the remaining population left to fend for itself, which Boyle says could be seen as an allegory for Brexit or the pandemic. "There is an element of that… horror is a wonderful genre because you can put transparencies against it, you can put COVID against it… you can put Brexit against it as well, and you read things into it like that and it's deliciously flexible," he says. Central to this new story is a new character, a young boy called Spike, played by newcomer Alfie Williams, whose character has been raised on a remote coastal Island with Jodie Comer starring as his mum. "To get to see how Danny and his team work on set and then see the final product, it's been a dream," Comer says. Fans won't have to wait quite so long for the follow-up to this, with a triptych of films planned this time around. While the second has already been shot and is due out next January, the really scary thing for Boyle currently is securing the financing to make the last instalment. "We're hoping we do well enough to get the third film financed... we want there to be three films ultimately," he says. 'A wonderful tribute' to Sycamore Gap Boyle's film also features a digital recreation of the Sycamore Gap tree, which the director says he hopes will be "a wonderful tribute" to Northumberland's iconic tree. Eagle-eyed viewers will spot the tree is still standing in scenes for Boyle's apocalyptic horror despite being felled in September 2023. Boyle explains: "It had already been destroyed by the time we came to film, so we recreated it for the same reasons that you see the Queen in this… all the things that have happened to us in the last 28 years have not happened." As well as forming a part of people's personal lives, as the scene of wedding proposals, ashes being scattered and countless photographs, it had already held a place in pop culture, featuring in the 1991 Kevin Costner film Robin Hood: Prince Of Thieves. It is a blink-and-you'll-miss-it moment in the film, but Boyle said given how much of what they shot is filmed in the beautiful Northumbria countryside, to resurrect "one of their most beautiful icons" was a "real privilege which we felt we couldn't ignore". "So we've recreated it deliberately to say that it was still growing… which is a wonderful tribute," he adds. 28 Years Later is out on 20 June.

Love Island fans hail show 'TV gold' and 'messiest series yet' as villa descends into meltdown - and host Maya Jama admits 'it's madness'
Love Island fans hailed Thursday's episode of the show 'TV gold' as the 'messiest series yet' saw a game send the villa into meltdown. Viewers saw tensions reach boiling point when a challenge, Look Who's Talking, saw things go from bad to worse - with host Maya Jama saying it was 'madness.' The Islanders each took a card and read out the quote then collectively decided which of their fellow Islanders said it. Drama was brewing after Harry and Yasmin headed for a kiss in the hideaway, meaning his partner Helena was already fuming. During the game it was revealed the duo had actually shared three secret smooches when a quote was read out from Harry. As Harry's lies unraveled, Megan exclaimed: 'You owe it to Helena to be f*****g honest, you p***k!' Love Island fans hailed Thursday's episode of the show 'TV gold' as the 'messiest series yet' saw a game send the villa into meltdown Sharing their thoughts on X, fans wrote: 'This game was [fire emoji]'; 'Love Island UK is still superior this season has been great'; 'THIS EPISODE IS SO GOOD please'; 'This might be the best season of Love Island I've ever seen'; '1000/10 RATED EPISODE'; 'This UK season is so good omg it's been mess every episode'; 'THIS IS PEAK TELEVISION WHOEVER HIRED THIS CAST NEEDS A RAISE I ACTUALLY CANT.' Elsewhere in the instalment, Islanders got stuck into a game of Beer Pong which saw them guess who made certain comments pulled out of a box. Despite being coupled up with Shea, Yasmin kissed two other boys during the course of the game - leaving him not best pleased during tonight's instalment. When she pulls him for a chat around the fire pit to check in, he says: 'You made me look like a mug.' Yasmin replies: 'Yeah, that wasn't my intention, it was just a game that I felt everyone else was playing way too safe.' He was also not too happy with the lads - who he heard laughing as he headed over to talk to Yasmin about what happened. Sharing their thoughts on X, fans wrote: 'This game was [fire emoji]'; 'Love Island UK is still superior this season has been great'; 'THIS EPISODE IS SO GOOD please' Despite being coupled up with Shea (right), Yasmin (left) kissed two other boys during the course of the game - leaving him not best pleased As Dejon - who Yasmin kissed during beer pong - admitted he laughed at his expense, Shea said: 'I've been made to look like a bit of a mug and I'm hearing laughing… 'Have some class, I thought we were all boys.' But Dejon wasn't laughing for long as he faced his own tough conversation with Meg, who he has been paired with since the launch show. He told her: 'You blow my mind, I'm so confused… your dare was get in a sex position. You could have picked me and you picked Harrison...' Of her choice to select the new bombshell boy instead, Meg replied: 'I can pick Harrison because it's a joke.' And she later added: 'You told me I'm your number one priority… I don't know where I go from here. I'm taking a big step back.'
