Eamonn Holmes has revealed he was amused by I’m A Celebrity contestant Emily Atack’s impression of him on last night’s show.
The Inbetweeners actress Emily, 28, showed off her impressive impression skills by imitating Eamonn, his wife Ruth Langsford and TOWIE’s Gemma Collins.
Appearing to imitate Ruth presenting Loose Women or This Morning, Emily said to her fellow campmates: “We’ve got James Arthur coming in, he’s going to sing us a song.
