Eamonn Holmes slams ITV
Eamonn announced last December that he was hosting a new show with GB News. He went on to join the GB News Breakfast show with presenter Isabel Webster.
It seems there’s some bad blood between the presenter and his former employer. As a result, he’s not been shy about making allegations about ITV since leaving.
Earlier this summer he claimed: “I haven’t been slagging them off. ITV have been telling lies about me. They’ve been telling lies about me. I’m just putting the record straight.
“The point is I did not resign from ITV. ITV resigned from me. And I never received a single explanation once why they wanted rid of me,” The Mirror reported.
Despite his allegations, Eamonn hasn’t totally ruled out returning to ITV in the future
Eamonn explained recently: “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 anymore?'”
Despite his claims, ITV has insisted that they still with the former This Morning star “all of the very best” for the future.
