Former This Morning presenter Eamonn Holmes was reportedly axed from the show after programme boss Martin Frizell joked that he 'couldn't bear' to watch the star eat on TV
Eamonn Holmes reportedly left This Morning due to a dip in ratings and the programme's boss Martin Frizell's aversion to his on-screen eating habits, according to sources close to Phillip Schofield . Martin was named in reports as one of the "three s**ts" by Phillip, which also included ITV's Emma Gormley and his once close pal Holly Willoughby .
“Chefs do cooking segments on This Morning and Martin’s dislike of the sight of Eamonn chomping on whatever had been cooked up became a joke that he shared among people working on the show." Ruth was a delight and was loved by the team. Eamonn was not as popular." Sources previously claimed that Eamonn's segments on This Morning pulled in strong ratings compared to other Friday presenters.
A source close to Eamonn, who has since found love with 42 year old Katie Alexander, disclosed that the broadcaster doesn't regret the controversial comments he made publicly, despite the potential negative impact on his marriage. The source told the Daily Mail: "Eamonn's dislike for Phillip has existed for a long time, but it became very public at the end of his marriage to Ruth. And as his hatred for him and ITV grew, the cracks in their relationship grew deeper.
