EAMONN Holmes has reacted to Holly Willoughby's NTAs humiliation after his former show home This Morning lost out on a gong and was booed at The O2.
It was also the first time in 14 years that the This Morning star, 42, attended the industry awards without her former co-host Phillip Schofield.

"You telling me that is a particular pose?"
His co-host Isabel Webster explained on the GB News show: "She's obviously got a very expensive Couture gown and very neat tailoring of the fishtail and it emphasises her curves, of which she's very proud. So there you go."
Holly walked the red carpet last night in a stunning lilac dress.
She later missed out on a picking up a prize for This Morning after The Repair shop won in the Daytime category at the glitzy bash.
Following the announcement, Jay Blades ran into the crowd towards Holly and This Morning to give them a supportive hug.

Reacting on X, formerly known as Twitter, one viewer said: "#NTAs repair shop went to hug Alison but Holly had to jump in first. Always jumping the queue."
A second said: "Go the Repair Shop well deserved . So humble and you didnt need to skip a queue or fall out with each other."
