Speaking via his Twitter page he said: 'When did the rants of a washed up, out of touch, inaccurate, old TV agent become relevant? Must've been paid by the word. #SodOffJonRoseman'.
He continued: 'Unfortunately for Jon, most of Britain likes Holly and isn't too blind to recognise desperate, embittered headline-seeking'.
In another post Schofield, 51, suggested that there was some information about Roseman that he wouldn't want to be talked about in public.

Bad boy: Agent Jon Roseman has been blasted by Phillip

Roseman initiated the argument after he blasted Holly in a article and slated her achievements in her television presenting career.
He wrote: 'Just in case you ever wondered what was so wrong with television today, you need look no further than presenter Holly Willoughby and the news that she is on her way to amassing a £10 million fortune.
'How has she done it? Not by showing a single flicker of talent, that’s for sure.'
Rather than congratulate Holly on her continued success, he claimed that her lucrative appeal 'is apparently down to the fact that men fancy her and women warm to her.'
Jon, who has been a celebrity agent for 35 years, continued: 'Every word that drops from Holly’s finely formed lips proves just how ill-equipped she is to be a television frontwoman.
'Indeed, the fact she’s got the job at all, let alone that she’s so well-paid, shows just how far female presenters have sunk today.'
Jon once represented the late Jill Dando and Anne Diamond, so he feels experienced enough to judge Willoughby.

He added: 'It is impossible to imagine Fern [Britton] breaking down on TV as Holly did last year. She was listening to a young widower, St John Greene, talking about losing his wife to cancer when she started to cry.
'I’m sure some viewers may have found this display of emotion endearing but, in my book, it was quite the opposite. If an interviewer can’t keep their feelings in check, how can they expect the people they are talking to — often the subjects of terrible trauma — to do so?'
A representative for Holly Willoughby was contacted by Mail Online, but declined to comment.
