TV presenter Eamonn Holmes has once again hit out at ITV as he picked up a prestigious TRIC award that named him News Presenter of the Year. The GB News anchor, who previously hosted This Morning alongside his wife Ruth Langsford, picked up the award at a glitzy ceremony held at Grosvenor House in central London today. Yet it appeared there was still some bad blood between Eamonn and his former employer ITV, after he and Ruth were axed from This Morning's Friday slot last year after over ten years of presenting the programme.
Hitting out at his former channel during a Q&A session with OK! and other media following his impressive win, Eamonn dubbed the network the “Ministry of Lies” as he explained the circumstances surrounding his now infamous “resignation.” “The point is I did not resign from ITV, ITV resigned from me, and I never received a single explanation once of why they wanted rid of me, so that was that,” he said. "No matter what you’ve been told. And also the sort of stuff that comes out: 'Eamonn believes he’s male, pale and stale'.
It doesn't look like it, does it? Eamonn never once said it, ITV press office said that,” he added. Despite the outburst, Eamonn insisted he wasn’t making a point of “slagging off ITV” and instead claimed he was “putting the record straight.” Criticism of ITV aside, Eamonn did speak highly of his colleagues at GB News, where he was welcomed with open arms when he joined the network six months ago. Fronting their morning breakfast show, Eamonn even revealed he had high hopes that they could surpass Piers Morgan’s record viewing figures on Good Morning Britain.
