Eamonn Holmes has taken a savage swipe at Davina McCall over her stunning BRIT Awards dress.
Davina walked down the red carpet at the annual music ceremony in a beautiful black lace maxi dress, which showed off her incredible figure. Davina walked the carpet just a few months after she underwent surgery after doctors discovered she had a benign brain tumour, known as a colloid cyst. The 14mm tumour was removed in November last year.
Speaking about her decision to wear the beautiful outfit, she had said on the red carpet: “I just thought, how disgraceful can I look? I’m growing old disgracefully. I thought what should I do? And I thought go see-through.”
On Breakfast with Eamonn and Ellie, the TV presenter and his co-star Ellie Costello were speaking about the awards ceremonies over the weekend when Eamonn took aim over his friend Davina’s outfit choice.

Chatting about Davina’s outfit choice, Eamonn had said: “I was quite embarrassed by that. I was with Davina, with her the night before, having dinner. I couldn’t look at her the same way.”
His co-host Dawn Neesom then added: “She was wearing more than that when you were having dinner, hopefully?” to which Eamonn then replied: “She was. She was. She was in love with life.”
Suzan Holder then commented: “That’s fantastic. The fact that she’s well. As I say, she looks great. That is what she will tell you. It’s empowering. I want to do this. That’s fine. But I know people who work in telly and women that work in television.”
Earlier in the segment, Suzan said she didn’t want to criticise other women but added it was a “shame she feels she needs to do that”.

“Davina McCall, who looks great, she’s perfectly decent. She’s wearing a sheer dress over bra and pants. She looks great. she’s been through a lot. I don’t want to criticise another woman, but to me, you need to look like, she’s in the paper because she’s competing with those other women. That’s what she’s doing there. It’s a shame she feels she needs to do that,” she had said.
Davina had previously opened up about her tumour, admitting she was “so angry”.
“I felt like this thing had taken control of me and I was so angry about that. I couldn’t let it go, I was like, ‘How dare you control my daily life like this and make me feel every day like I’m in danger?’ … I have a newfound enormous sympathy for people who have benign brain tumours,” she said on her podcast Begin Again.
“I have had so many people say to me: ‘Well, at least it was benign.’ And you think: ‘You have no idea that benign brain tumours can still kill you.’ It’s just, you don’t know when it’s going to happen. It could happen tomorrow, it could happen in years’ time. It’s different to cancer, but it is also awful. A benign does not mean fine.”
