Eamonn Holmes did not hold back when it came to slamming 'ridiculous' Channel 4 show Naked Attraction live on GB News.

Blasting the controversial show as 'porn by another name', the presenter, 66, said that he even tried to talk his son out of working on its set.

For those unfamiliar with the dating program, its concept is simple - contestants pick a potential partner based on the look of their birthday suit and then go on a clothed date to see if there's a spark.

The controversial dating programme came up during a discussion about the closure of MTV on New Year's Eve amid changes in TV viewing habits and a move towards streaming services. 

Eamonn said: 'I see Naked Attraction as a waste of blooming time.

'What on Earth is Naked Attraction all about? Willies and bottoms and whatever. It’s porn by another name. It’s ridiculous.'

The presenter added: 'I don't know how you can stick up for Naked Attraction.' 

Dawn Neesom said: 'I'm not sticking up for it. I've never watched it, to be honest, but I did know the sound engineer who worked on it, and he said what you did with the mics was always an interesting point.'

Eamonn revealed: 'My youngest son, was the floor manager on it.

'I told him, I said, it's your father speaking, you're not to work on that filth. I told him that. Did he listen to me? Of course not.'  

Dawn laughed: 'You know, you're turning into your mum. You are turning into your mum, aren't you?'

Eamonn said: 'It happens. A lot of my mother in me.'

The presenter's comments come after GB News viewers were left fuming over Eamonn Holmes' 'unprofessional' habit, which they claim drove them to switch off in December.

Eamonn and Penny Smith were chatting to commentator Oscar Reddrop, where they shared their thoughts about Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood's latest move.

The politician, 45, recently scrapped non-hate crime incidents, which she spoke about on the panel.

The segment appeared on a split screen, with some of the footage being out of focus.

However in the corner, viewers were left distracted by Eamonn and his bizarre habit.

Taking to X to share their frustration, one person wrote: 'Eamonn Holmes needs to go home instead of sharing his germs.'

Another wrote: 'If Holmes stopped stuffing his face, he wouldn't keep coughing and spluttering everywhere - so unprofessional.'

A third commented: 'Why is Holmes allowed to stuff himself live on TV? So bl**dy unprofessional.'

A fourth viciously penned: 'Eamonn, it doesn't look good when the crumbs from the Greggs sausage roll are falling down your suit.'
