Eamonn Holmes rants about 'horrible' former co-stars
GB News host Eamonn Holmes has hit out at his former co-stars branding some of them "horrible" and "fake" during a recent episode of his podcast GB News presenter Eamonn Holmes didn't mince his words about former colleagues in the television industry, slating some as "horrible" and repeatedly calling them "false, false, false". On his latest podcast episode of Things We Like, Eamonn was joined by co-presenter Paul Coyte and tough guy actor Ray Winstone. During a candid conversation, The Departed actor Ray shared insights on his life in Los Angeles and how the Hollywood buzz led him back to the UK, starting Eamonn on a scathing rant about the entertainment world. Ray said: 'I couldn't live in LA, it's constant,' and pointed out: "Even the guy who puts petrol in your car works in the industry. It's like every two minutes, it's all they want to talk about. "We talk about birds and football and boxing, you know, they talk about movies. Hollywood and Los Angeles are wonderful places when you're doing alright, but when you're not." Eamonn, fresh from his departure from his long-standing gig at This Morning, jumped in to sound off on his disdain for phony relationships within showbiz circles, reports Belfast Live. The seasoned presenter, not shy about his feelings regarding people in the biz, spoke in a mocking tone: "'I don't like this character, I don't like so and so, I like that person, I didn't get on with them,'" before hinting at similarities between himself and Winstone, saying, "That's what the business is based on. I mean, I'm like you [Ray Winstone]. I get myself into trouble because if I don't like someone, they'll know I don't like them." Adding fuel to the fire, Eamonn remarked on the frequent hypocrisy he encounters, noting: "And there are so many horrible people that you end up with. People say: 'Oh, he's lovely, he's fantastic'." Eamonn Holmes has recently shared his candid views on celebrity genuineness, stating: "If they say to me: 'What's that Ray Winstone like?' I'll say he is lovely and he is fantastic and people will believe me because I wouldn't say it if you weren't, but so many are just false, false, false." While discussing the authenticity of stars in showbiz, all three men found common ground, although they refrained from naming individuals associated with their sentiments. Rumours once circled about a rift between Eamonn and his former GMTV co-star Anthea Turner during the 90s, but both have indicated that any past issues have been resolved. In recent times, Eamonn has not held back on expressing his opinions about ex-This Morning presenter Phillip Schofield following Phillip's departure from ITV due to a controversial relationship with a younger man within the company. Taking a firm stance on Phillip's troubles, Eamonn commented in October 2024 that he was "absolutely addicted to fame," and explained that Phillip, who remains absent from our screens, "deserves to be in exile".

Eamonn Holmes lifts the lid on working with 'horrible' and 'false' former co-stars
Eamonn Holmes has taken aim at Hollywood's obsession with image and the 'falseness' of celebrity culture, calling out the inauthenticity he's encountered during his decades in the business. Speaking on the latest episode of his Things We Like podcast, the GB News anchor sat down with actor Ray Winstone for a frank conversation about fame, fakery and the reality of working in entertainment. The pair, who between them have clocked up over 80 years in showbiz, shared war stories from their time in the spotlight — and didn't hold back. 'Why would you say you like someone if you don't?' asked Winstone, best known for The Departed, as he reflected on the forced niceties of red carpet life. 'Hollywood and Los Angeles are wonderful places when you're doing alright — but when you're not…' Eamonn chimed in, revealing that his own refusal to play the game has landed him in hot water more than once. 'That's what the business is based on,' he said. 'If I don't like someone, they'll know I don't like them. And there are so many horrible people you end up with.' He added: 'People say, 'Oh, he's lovely, he's fantastic'… If they say to me, 'What's that Ray Winstone like?' I'll say he is lovely and he is fantastic and people will believe me — because I wouldn't say it if you weren't. 'But so many are just false, false, false.' The conversation also touched on why Winstone chose not to settle in Los Angeles despite his success. 'Even the guy who puts petrol in your car works in the industry,' he joked. 'Every two minutes, it's all they want to talk about. We talk about birds and football and boxing — they talk about movies.' While both men criticised the showbiz bubble, Winstone offered some sympathy for younger stars who are still finding their voice. 'They're asked questions on telly and they're not quite sure how to answer… I've seen people on shows say, 'Everyone's lovely, everyone's wonderful.' No, they're not!' he said. His comments come after he recently revealed that he is now reliant on a wheelchair and unable to perform basic daily tasks due to ongoing mobility issues.

Eamonn Holmes opens up about ‘horrible' former co-stars he has worked with branding some of them ‘false'
The Belfast man was speaking on his Things We Like podcast he hosts alongside Paul Coyte, as Thursday's episode featured The Departed actor Ray Winstone and the trio got onto the subject around the world of showbiz. When asked by Holmes about why Winstone decided to leave Los Angeles and why he was not 'mixing and socialising' with his other celebrity pals, the 68-year-old Londoner told the former This Morning presenter it would be like 'living above the shop'. "LA... I couldn't live in LA. It's constant,' Winstone said. "Even the guy who puts petrol in your car works in the industry. It's like every two minutes, it's all they want to talk about. We talk about birds and football and boxing, you know, they talk about movies. "There's something else out there, you know, and I think to be successful in what you do, you've got to know what else is going on in the world rather than be wrapped up in your own fantasy world. "Hollywood and Los Angeles are wonderful places when you're doing alright, but when you're not." Holmes – an experienced figure in the world of showbiz – shared his own experience of 'fakery' in the industry, adding: "'I don't like this character. I don't like so and so. I like that person. I didn't get on with them'. "That's what the business is based on. I mean, I'm like you [Winstone]. I get myself into trouble because if I don't like someone, they'll know I don't like them. "And there are so many horrible people that you end up with. People say: 'Oh, he's lovely, he's fantastic'. "If they say to me: 'What's that Ray Winstone like?' I'll say he is lovely and he is fantastic and people will believe me because I wouldn't say it if you weren't, but so many are just false, false, false.' While Holmes didn't elaborate on who he was referring to during the discussion, the Belfast man has previously spoken about several high-profile feuds with former on-screen colleagues, including former This Morning presenter Phillip Schofield. Last year the 65-year-old claimed Schofield 'deserves to be in exile' from TV and said he was 'addicted to fame, absolutely addicted to fame'.
