Eamonn Holmes was left red-faced live on air this week, after being caught swearing while hosting a breakfast show on the contentious GB News channel.
Northern Irishman Holmes has been a host on the opinionated channel since early 2022, presenting its breakfast show alongside Isabel Webster.
On Tuesday morning's show, the pair could be heard conversing as though the cameras were not rolling, clearly oblivious to the fact that they were live on air.

Returning on air after an ad break, Webster started off the conversation by dropping one swear word, before Holmes ramped things up a bit. It became evident before too long that neither presenter was aware that they were now live.
If you listen carefully, you can hear the despairing, hilarious scream of a production crew member in the background after Holmes drops an F-bomb.
I can’t tell you how many times I’ve watched this on a loop and I’ve not stopped laughing! 😂 (It’s the little off-camera scream that does it for me!) pic.twitter.com/sHkpsYuGTh

Webster: I'm a bitch - if only they knew! Pussycat me
Holmes: If only they knew...now, how the fuck do you get home today?
The scream from the background was immediately followed by both presenters' microphones being silenced, as the two appeared to realise what had just transpired.
Holmes would then place his earpiece back in, before saying,
Are you sure we're on air? It would be nice if somebody spoke to us.
We're not entirely sure how Eamonn Holmes expected to hear anyone telling him he was back live on air without his earpiece in, but the whole episode made for hilarious cringeworthy viewing.
Holmes has been in the news recently for his outspoken comments on the controversy surrounding Phillip Schofield's departure from ITV's 'This Morning.'
Schofield stepped away from his role as presenter on the show after revealing he had been involved in an affair with a younger crew member on the show, with Holmes slamming Schofield in a tweet last week.
Schofield has finally been caught out ... But he's not the only guilty party. 4 high members of Itv management knew what sort of man he was ...and NEVER once took action to prevent him controlling or taking advantage of his position over young people.

Rather unexpectedly, Majella O'Donnell took to Twitter to question Holmes' public statements after the Northern Irishman conducted a TV interview on the Philip Schofield controversy.
@EamonnHolmes Remember this? No you’re not perfect. Don’t treat people the way you do. It’s disgusting to hear you going on about PS regardless of he’s misjudgements. He did NOTHING illegal. pic.twitter.com/VbBxHvUV7R
