Eamonn Holmes shocked his GB News co-host Ellie Costello by making an inappropriate comment about her breasts during Wednesday’s show.
The 64-year-old presenter, who recently split from her wife Ruth Langsford, and Ellie were discussing people walking around topless during Britain’s latest heatwave.
A dizzy Eamonn cheekily told Ellie: ‘You’ve never seen my boobs. I’ve got one that’s bigger than the other too.’
Ellie burst out laughing, while Eamonn joked: ‘It’s true! Don’t you have something that’s bigger than the others?’
Ellie seemed surprised by the question and replied, “No, I have that too. I think it’s very normal, so we can agree on that.”

A giddy Eamonn, 64, cheekily told Ellie: ‘You’ve never seen my boobs. I’ve got one that’s bigger than the other too’
Ellie tried to get the conversation going again by saying, “But I don’t think topless men are a very nice sight, especially on the streets during a heatwave.”
It comes exactly one day after Eamonn angrily shouted “Don’t lecture me – give me a chance!” at a guest during a debate about the Union Jack flag on GB News.
Royal broadcaster and historian Rafe Heydel-Mankoo joined anti-racism campaigner Imarn Ayton on the show to debate whether the Union Jack flag is too divisive.
The debate began when Eamonn discussed the recent news that a Norfolk village is divided over whether to fly the Union Jack flag, fearing it will ‘scare people away’.
The debate arose after Imarn said the British public should reconsider flying the Union Jack flag, which she said was “associated with the far-right”.
As Eamonn ended their heated and controversial exchange, he concluded the segment with his personal thoughts on growing up in Northern Ireland, prompting Imarn to react angrily.
Eamonn said: ‘When you fly a flag outside a village hall in Norfolk you think: what’s so special about it?’
Ellie seemed surprised by the question and replied: ‘No, I have that too. I think it’s very normal, so we can agree on that’

Imarn hit back angrily: ‘Be considerate. No, be considerate guys. I know you’ve finished your segment, but Eamonn, I’m not going to let you finish with that segment.
“Be attentive to the beliefs and perspectives of others. If you are considerate and sympathetic to everyone and how we see the world, you will find yourself leading with equality. I’ll just end it here, so you know.”
Eamonn said, ‘Let me tell you something. You don’t have to lecture me. I’m in the middle trying to see both sides of the story…’
Imarn interrupted her: ‘Me too.’
Eamonn shouted: ‘I grew up in a country…’, before Imarn interrupted him again: ‘You should have stopped my story. [opinion] but you’re done with Rafe’s [opinion]’.
Presenter Eamonn assured: ‘I’m done with everyone. I’m trying to say you didn’t grow up in Northern Ireland where a flag represented something political and anti-religious in Northern Ireland, I did.’
Imarn said, ‘And just like with black people, you are not black sir, and I understand racism better than you do.
‘I haven’t experienced any racial discrimination or prejudice or bias in relation to being white, but what I have experienced is being black. Ahh Eamonn, we are the same babes.’
“Ahh give me a break. Let’s go to the break. Back after this,” Eamonn finished.
The debate erupted after Imarn claimed the British people should reconsider the Union Jack flag because it is ‘associated with the far right’

Fans were shocked by Imarn’s views, calling her ‘offensive’ after she claimed ‘the British flag is linked to the far-right’.
Fans wrote about X: ‘I don’t understand how Eamonn didn’t tip her off her chair, very professional’,
‘Someone should have turned her microphone off’,
‘Under the current rules, this woman is still constantly crossing the line into inciting hatred, isn’t she?’
‘It’s Imarn Ayton’s way or not. This person is reprehensible and the only reason TV companies give him airtime is for the entertainment factor. Doesn’t add any other value, I can never remember what they said.’
