Eamonn Holmes admits Piers Morgan is ‘much braver’ than him as he addresses comparisons | Celebrity News | Showbiz & TV
An ITV spokesperson has insisted in response to his claims: “This isn’t a version of events we recognise,” before wishing him “all the best”.
Eamonn also recently slammed Sir Kenneth Branagh’s film Belfast, set in his hometown in the 1960s, for its “historical inaccuracy”.
Claiming that the director had been asked to include ethnic minority characters in the Oscar-nominated movie to secure funding for it, he revealed: “I said to Kenneth, ‘I’m just observing, but we didn’t have an Indian corner shop or a black teacher or Chinese pupils in our classrooms in 1969. Belfast wasn’t London.’ The journalist in me was saying that it was historically inaccurate.”
Eamonn now presents on GB News with co-host Isabel Webster every weekday from 6am, although he cringes occasionally at his extra-early 2:30am alarm, admitting that a later slot would be “very nice indeed”.
