Eamonn Holmes has hit out at his former employers ITV claiming the network is ‘out of ideas’ as he joined his GB News co-host Isabel Webster to discuss the brand new ITV dating show My Mum Your Dad
In a fiery critique, Eamonn Holmes has lambasted his former employer ITV, branding the network as ‘the worst’ and accusing it of being ‘out of ideas’.
The 56 year old television veteran made the remarks while co-hosting GB News alongside Isabel Webster. The duo was joined by guests Christopher Biggins and Claire Pearsall to dissect the latest offering from ITV â a novel dating show titled My Mum Your Dad. Dubbed as the middle-aged Love Island, this reality show, hosted by Davina McCall, features an intriguing twist where children in their 20s play cupid for their single parents.
As the panel delved into the show’s premise, Eamonn didn’t hold back his disdain, asserting that the broadcaster has “got no other ideas”. Christopher echoed Eamonn’s sentiments, questioning, “Who would do such a thing? What will they think of next?” He added: “They’ve got no bright ideas these television people â are you listening?”
Isabel, however, offered a contrasting viewpoint as she said: “I think it’s a good idea! Why does it only have to be young and beautiful [people].” Despite Isabel’s defence, Eamonn sided with Christopher, launching a scathing attack on his former employer. “I agree with you [Christopher]. I mean, ITV are the worst,” he fumed. “If it’s not Ant and Dec, or it’s not Simon Cowell. Or it’s not Bradley Walsh on The Chase, they’ve got no other ideas!”
