Channel 5 viewers watched the former This Morning host break down in tears while marooned on a desert island for Cast Away.
Phillip appeared to have won over Isabel as he reflected on his life-changing his departure from TV after an "ill advised" affair destroyed his career.
But when she shared her thoughts on GB News Breakfast, the anchor was shut down by an angry Eamonn.
Isabel had insisted the presenter "hadn't done anything illegal" in his relationship, to which the Northern Irish star shot back: "Why is that even relevant? He met the boy when he was 15, so why do you keep on pushing that?"

Just yesterday, Eamonn - who has long been embroiled in a bitter feud with Phil - said he was "proud" to have thrown his former colleague "under the bus" in a livid rant.
He barked: "Well if I'm one of the people who threw him under the bus I am very proud to have done it and protected children.
"People who are under age."
Eamonn then said the instance was being made out to be "one situation" and added: "I think he [Phil] is where he deserves to be."

Isabel read out a statement from Phil which had said his conduct wasn't illegal but was ill-advised.
Eamonn, whipping off his glasses, was eager to get stuck in further.

Referring to Phil he bluntly said: "This man is addicted to fame.
"Absolutely addicted to fame."
After the chat rumbled on he said: "I know people in junior positions in television and if I thought they were being taken advantage of in such a way then somebody needs to stand up and say 'people like him shouldn't exist and shouldn't be allowed'."
It came after Phil himself suggested he was "thrown under the bus" by ITV colleagues in a veiled dig at former co-star Holly Willoughby.
We exclusively reported his comments from the new documentary as he discussed how he was forced to leave This Morning after 22 years - and hinted at a lack of support from his long-time friend and co-host Holly, 43.
He said in the segment: “I miss parts of being on TV, certainly. I miss most of it, if I’m honest, I miss most of it.
“But there are bits that I really, really, really don’t miss.
“You learn a lot about people, I don’t miss that.”
He also blasted "three s**ts in showbiz" as he opened up on betrayal.
During the three-episode series, which continues tonight and tomorrow night, Phil blames his brother for being "fired" from his lucrative This Morning and Dancing on Ice gigs.
In April 2023, Timothy Schofield was convicted of 11 sexual offences involving a child – including emotionally blackmailing a child into sex acts.
Phillip believes the discovery of Timothy's crimes caused ITV to edge him out before firing him.
However, according to , ITV insiders are highly refuting the claims, saying: “Phillip's new comments are simply untrue, he is lying again."
Instead, they claim he quit when the fallout of the conviction – combined with his “unwise but not illegal” affair with a 19-year-old runner on This Morning – became too much.
'We stood by him through his brother's court case and he then stepped away when things became too much,” the source said.

“He then admitted himself he had been lying about an affair and he resigned from ITV altogether.
“We didn't sack him, he lied to us and then he resigned, there is not much else to say and we as a network just want to move on."
