This Morning viewers slammed the show today (Friday, October 29) after a discussion about Covid did not mention Eamonn Holmes.
The presenter came down with the virus last week, and viewers thought he should have at least been asked his views.
Furthermore, they weren’t impressed by the fact that no well wishes were sent, either.
What happened on This Morning and why didn’t they mention Eamonn Holmes?
During a discussion about Covid, presenters Dermot O’Leary and Alison Hammond chatted to fashion host Lisa Snowdon.
Lisa opened up about her recent battle with the virus, and admitted it “floored her”.
“This time I’ve been in bed the whole time.”

“I mean George used to make me get up every day and get a bath and change my pyjamas, but I’d just be in bed sleeping the whole time, I just honestly couldn’t do anything.”
However, there was no mention of Eamonn during the segment even though he came down with the potentially dangerous bug a few days ago.
In fact, they didn’t even send best wishes.
Shouldn't we be hearing Eamonn's side seeing that he has Covid? #ThisMorning

What about Eamonn Holmes, though? He had Covid too. How did he cope and recover? I'd have loved to hear his side. #ThisMorning pic.twitter.com/qCvuN5zMpK
