EAMONN Holmes has revealed the emotional reason he doesn’t watch This Morning.
The presenter, 62, left the daytime TV show in December after hosting alongside wife Ruth Langsford for 15 years – before their Friday slot was given to Alison Hammond and Dermot O’Leary.
Now Eamonn – who said people on the street still ask when he and Ruth will return – admitted he hasn’t watched the show since.
He told the Mirror: “It would be too… sensitive. I mean, I spend every day going out on the street and people saying, ‘Why are you and Ruth not on any more?’”
Eamonn, who now hosts the breakfast show on GB News and also fronts his own BBC cookery programme, insists he was never told why he and Ruth were replaced.
It came after his controversial comments, suggesting there could be a link between 5G masts and the spread of the coronavirus.
Asked if this was the reason for his sacking, Eamonn said: “It’s never been mentioned to me. If that was the case, at least that would be a reason.
“And if Dame EasyJet [ITV boss Dame Carolyn McCall, ex-chief exec of EasyJet] had wanted an apology or some sort of explanation, fine. But she never picked up the phone and asked me.”
Eamonn then accused ITV of spreading lies about him leaving to go to GB News.
“The department of disinformation at ITV can put out all the lies they want,” ranted Eamonn.
“I wish somebody would show me the email or the letter or that I was sent to say, ‘Eamonn, this is why this is coming to an end’.
“But to tell lies, that I left them to go to GB News…I didn’t – they left me. Let’s get it straight. They left me. I don’t care, because our audience is only up.”
A spokesperson for ITV fiercely denied Eamonn’s claims.
“This isn’t a version of events that we recognise and as we have said before we wish Eamonn all of the very best,” they said.
