TV viewers defend Eamonn over ‘fat’ jibe

Fans have rushed to the defence of Eamonn Holmes after a weight-loss expert labelled him “too fat” on national television.

Steve Miller appeared on ITV’s This Morning and told the presenter: “You’re such a great guy, you’re too fat, I’m really worried about you.”

But many viewers did not appreciate the remarks, taking to Twitter to respond on Holmes’s behalf.
