Eamonn Holmes says ITV gave ‘no reason’ why he was axed from This Morning | Celebrity News | Showbiz & TV

GB News host Eamonn Holmes, 62, has claimed he was “given no reasons” from ITV bosses when he was dropped from This Morning. Eamonn had fronted the daytime show for 15 years and confirmed last month he was moving to rival channel GB News.

In a new interview with The Times, Eamonn confessed that while he accepted he had been let go from the ITV show, he was confused as to why he allegedly received no explanation.

The presenter said: “I don’t have any issues with that at all.

“I just have issues with why they can’t tell you your time is up. 

“Just have a conversation, any conversation.

The veteran reporter confirmed this move to GB News last month.

He said in a statement: “I’ve spent my career on broadcasting firsts and start-ups, and GB News is one of the most exciting yet.

“It’s just the kind of shake-up the industry needs.

“I’ve admired GB News from the beginning for its clever mix of punchy debate but delivered with warmth and even some fun.

“To me, the greatest honour in journalism is to give a voice and respect to the unheard, and that’s exactly what GB News is all about.”

An ITV spokesperson also said at the time: “We would like to wish Eamonn all of the very best in his new role.  

“As a duo, Eamonn and Ruth have been part of the This Morning presenting team for the last 15 years and we thank Eamonn for all of his hard work and contribution to the show.

“Ruth remains an important part of ITV Daytime both as a continuing member of the This Morning family and as an anchor presenter on Loose Women.”
