This Morning’s Eamonn Holmes takes savage swipe at ‘rubbish’ Charlotte Hawkins
Eamonn Holmes took a cheeky swipe at Charlotte Hawkins on Friday's This Morning, branding her Strictly performance as "rubbish".
The 45-year-old GMB star appeared on Strictly Come Dancing back in 2017, partnering up with pro dancer Brendan Cole only to get eliminated in the fourth week of the competition.
On today's This Morning, the conversation turned to Ruth Langsford's own appearance on Strictly, as she competed against Charlotte three years ago.
While neither ITV star won the coveted Glitterball Trophy, Ruth was eliminated weeks after Charlotte, getting axed by judges and landing in seventh place.
Defending his wife, Eamonn claimed Charlotte's performance was lacking, hinting his wife should have got further than her in the competition.
He said "rubbish people like Charlotte Hawkins" made it further than Ruth did in the dance-off.
Swiftly changing the subject, Ruth quickly veered the conversation to Ranvir Singh's performance on Strictly, praising the GMB star's debut last weekend.
Later, Eamonn tried to take back what he said about Charlotte, saying: "In fairness to my friend Charlotte she was brilliant first week."
Claiming Charlotte was "angelic," he then took another swipe at her performance, adding he had been wrong to think she could win the competition.
He said: "That shows how stupid I am."
