GB News host Eamonn Holmes has revealed he was once left in tears when a former editor slammed him for his work as things escalated between them and objects thrown
Eamonn Holmes has admitted he was left in tears at work after a shocking incident with his boss. The GB News presenter, 65, has had a long career on the small screen having worked on GMTV, Sky News and This Morning.
However, it wasn’t always easy for Eamonn as he made his way up the ladder to be the successful broadcaster he is today. He admitted to breaking down in tears following a run-in with his previous boss.
Eamonn recalled working in journalism when he was 22-years-old: “My sports editor called me in and he said ‘what’s wrong with that script?’ I read it, and I remember it was about darts. I went ‘I don’t know’.
“The next minute he fired a ceramic cup bang against the wall behind me. It smashed.” Eamonn revealed it didn’t stop there as he was again asked what was wrong with the script he had created.

The presenter admitted he still didn’t know what the issue was. “He then lifted up a telephone, which had a wire on the end of it. He fired it and it hit the wall behind me,” Eamonn told his shocked GB News colleagues.
He confessed: “I am beginning to feel my top lip shudder and I am going, don’t cry, don’t cry here. He said ‘what is wrong with that script’.” Eamonn told his boss that he still could not find the issue, which riled him up even more.
“He then lifted this Adler typewriter – metal Adler typewriter – and threw it down at my feet that I had to jump for,” he shockingly recalled. “I then started to cry. I was 22-years of age and I thought this is awful.”
In another unexpected move, Eamonn shared how a producer, who he called his “protector at the building”, stepped in. “He just went up, and went into the office and this guy was a very big sports guy and he punched him,” Eamonn revealed.
The former This Morning host even admitted he never found out what was wrong with his script despite the uproar it caused. It wasn’t the last time Eamonn had a run-in with his colleagues though.
Last month, he branded some of his ex co-stars as “horrible” and “false, false, false”. On his latest podcast episode of Things We Like, Eamonn was joined by co-presenter Paul Coyte and tough guy actor Ray Winstone.
Ray shared insights on his life in Los Angeles and how the Hollywood buzz led him back to the UK, starting Eamonn on a scathing rant about the entertainment world.

The seasoned presenter spoke in a mocking tone: “I don’t like this character, I don’t like so and so, I like that person, I didn’t get on with them. That’s what the business is based on. I mean, I’m like you [Ray]. I get myself into trouble because if I don’t like someone, they’ll know I don’t like them.”
Adding fuel to the fire, Eamonn remarked: “And there are so many horrible people that you end up with. People say: ‘Oh, he’s lovely, he’s fantastic’. If they say to me: ‘What’s that Ray Winstone like?’ I’ll say he is lovely and he is fantastic and people will believe me because I wouldn’t say it if you weren’t, but so many are just false, false, false.”
