‘I am hurt beyond belief’: Eamonn Holmes SLAMS Gogglebox for their editing of him

Eamonn Holmes has fired criticism at Gogglebox following his appearance on Friday night’s show.

The This Morning presenter, 60, described their editing as ‘idiotic and cruel’ in a series of Tweets after he received backlash from comments he made.

Eamonn hit out at Channel 4 for choosing to air a clip of the star laughing and joking instead of him discussing his father’s death.  

Following the show, he took to Twitter and shared: ‘In reply to a number of complaints …. I am hurt beyond belief that @C4Gogglebox chose not to use me talking about my Father dying from a heart attack at the side of a road and replace it with a funny story following a young lad giving his Father CPR . 

‘Idiotic and cruel edit.’

He then shared: ‘So following a tragedy that has forever haunted my family, I am in no mood for criticising holier than thou mouthpieces on here who haven’t gone through what we did. 

‘I had nothing but praise and emotion for the Ambulance control room TV programme. An atrocious edit.’

Finally the star wrote: ‘How my Father died was a particularly horrible experience for my Mother , my younger brother and his friend who were all in the car . 

‘The resuscitation in The BBC Ambulance programme was as close as could be to my Dad’s passing. Yet I am the one edited to make it look like a laugh.’
