This Morning viewers branded Eamonn Holmes “awkward” today after he misheard a guest, and likened her to a “hamster”.
The daytime telly fave, 61, has been in hot water recently after he compared Dr Zoe Williams’ hair to an alpaca on the programme earlier this month.
Now on today’s show (Tuesday August 24), Eamonn made another unflattering comment.
What happened on This Morning with Eamonn Holmes today?
Eamonn and presenting partner Ruth Langsford welcomed Ukrainian woman, Anastasiia Pokreshchuk, 32, onto This Morning.
Anastasiia explained that she has had fillers put into her cheeks, jaw and chin, and has had Botox, too.

During the interview, she admitted that she thought she used to look like a “hamster” and considered herself “ugly”.
That’s when Eamonn added his own contribution to the eye-raising interview.
“Beautiful monster”
Anastasiia said: “I didn’t like my face,” she told Eamonn and Ruth.
“I didn’t like my cheeks and I wanted them higher.
“I don’t want to look like anyone else, I am who I am.”
Eamonn, who thought that she had said she now looks like a hamster, then asked: “So you like to look like a hamster?”
Anastasiia corrected him and said: “No, I think I was like a hamster,” and instead described herself as “the prettiest monster you’ve ever seen”.
And as the interview ended, Eamonn wrapped things up by saying: “Anastasiia thank you! The most beautiful monster I have ever seen.”
