Eamonn Holmes swears live on air in hilarious blunder

Eamonn Holmes swore live on air in a huge TV blunder yesterday.

The TV veteran, 63, was presenting his breakfast show on GB News with co-star Isabel Webster, 40.

When the programme returned after an advert break, both stars were caught swearing as they appeared not to realise they were back on air.

Engrossed in their advert break conversation, Isabel could be heard saying: ‘I’m a b***h, if only they knew.’ She added: ‘Pussycat me.’

Then former This Morning presenter Eamonn was seen checking his script before muttering to himself: ‘Now, how the f*** do I get home today?’

And we’re back: After being alerted that they were back on air, the two sprung into action with Eamonn joking to Isabel: ‘Are you sure we’re on air? Would be nice if somebody spoke to us.’

A shriek could be heard off camera before producers muted the pair’s microphones.

After being alerted that they were back on air, the two sprung back into action with Eamonn joking to Isabel: ‘Are you sure we’re on air? Would be nice if somebody spoke to us.’ The two quickly apologised to viewers for the blunder.

Viewers found the mistake hilarious, with one quipping: ‘Just watching that lovely Eamonn & Isabel on GB News, now choking on my cornflakes and clutching my pearls.’

Another viewer wrote: ‘Oh dear Eamonn has dropped the F bomb live on air.’

Eamonn has used his GB News show this week to weigh in on the Phillip Schofield scandal that has engulfed ITV show and has been outspoken in his criticism of Phillip and his former co-presenter Holly Willoughby.

Yesterday he hailed Josie Gibson – who co-hosted with Holly yesterday and Monday – as ‘the star of the show’.

‘The star of the show yesterday, for me, was Josie Gibson. It’s lovely to hear a West Country accent, isn’t it?’ Eamonn said.

‘Absolutely, so warm and there aren’t enough West County accents on the TV,’ Isabel agreed.
