Eamonn Holmes worked at ITV for 30 years and presented This Morning alongside his wife Ruth Langsford for 15 years.
The 56-year-old was joined on GB News by co-host Isabel Webster, and guests Christopher Biggins and Claire Pearsall to discuss the brand new ITV dating show Your Mum, My Dad. The new reality show, which has been dubbed the middle-aged Love Island, is hosted by Davina McCall and sees children set their single parents up.
"Who would do such a thing? What will they think of next?” Christopher said. He added: "They've got no bright ideas these television people - are you listening?"However, Eamonn was firmly on the side of Christopher and slammed his former employer. "I agree with you [Christopher]. I mean, ITV are the worst," he fumed. “If it's not Ant and Dec, or it's not Simon Cowell.
Speaking about his exit from ITV, Eamonn admitted he was hurt by the axe but had something to prove. He said: “When I parted ways with ITV last year and I saw newspaper reports suggesting my departure was down to me being 'too male, pale and stale'.
