Please, can we all spare a thought for poor Eamonn Holmes, who claims 'it's hard to be a white bloke in your sixties' in the media these days. Eamonn currently hosts the daily breakfast show on GB News and has been on national television for 30 years.

Now Eamonn has said that he believes he falls into a category that is ‘bottom of the list’ when it comes to casting choices.

‘No one’s interested in casting you, no one’s interested in planning a programme around you, no one’s interested in your experience. You do not tick the right boxes for them in terms of your sexuality, your ethnicity,’ he said.

Eamonn claimed that although his listenership ratings were ‘excellent’, an executive told him they wanted to pursue a younger audience.He now hosts a program on GB News with Isabel Webster ‘I basically told him to f**k off, and that was the end of that.’

We should do a Go Fund Me for him 😂

He’s right. I wouldn’t even say it’s just in your 60’s. I’d say if you are a white English male over 40 in media, looking for a new role - you’re probably fooked - you don’t fit the recruiting policy that discriminates against you.

I'm a black female teenager, but I identify the same as Eamonn. Let me tell you, times are tough for us. He's not wrong.

Aw diddums!

Yeah all that racism and sexism you was brought up on is no longer actable by decent human being. EamonnHolmes

Diddums

It’s never been hard to be a white male regardless of age…

Eamonn is still bitter at being dropped from This Morning.

Sad, isn't it when a guy is reduced to hosting a programme on the dead-zone that is GBnews? He could always save himself the embarrassment and retire.

As he ages, he becomes more out of touch with majority of potential listeners. Audience tankings are a true measure of his popularity or not

THIS is exactly what he’s talking about.

He needs to move on he has had avert good career

Just googled his net worth, only just over £4 million the poor lamb, I shall start a go fund me page to help him in his time of need

He is a pathetic attention seeking racist nasty piece of trash.

Poor guy. Life is tough when you can’t get a job because of the colour of your skin or because of what your name is or you keep getting stopped by police because of what you look like, or you are the only one in the store who gets followed by security.

I can only think that his pockets are well lined at our expense

But who are the people changing the people we watch in GB ?

Is he not allowed an opinion then, ?

Now that the price of toilet paper is sky high, my free copy of the Metro sure comes in handy. 💩

you going to look at the julia story or not posting rubbish when there is more important stuff going on!

No sympathy.

Try being a woman...

Disgusting he ended up on Far Right Wing TV, surly he’s not that poor!

It’s not easy to spew out hate anymore without consequences.

Maybe if your name is Jeremy Clarkson 🤣🤣

Poor old multi millionaire Eamonn , on a positive note he’s still his own number one fan

(NB: Please do not click on the article) Translation: It is difficult to sprout out racist misogynistic rhetoric like we did in the good old days without any pushback

You got any of them tv jobs...

Tell all the female presenters axed earlier in there careers for younger people... What a misogynistic, racist comment...

Its true mortgages still need to be paid.. give him a decent job lol
