Eamonn Holmes risked starting an argument GB News co-host Isabel Webster on Monday (11 November). While discussing the day's sports news alongside radio host Paul Coyte, Eamonn, 64, and Isabel, 41, who usually share a warm rapport on their GB News Breakfast Show, experienced a chilly exchange.The tension arose from a debate concerning journalist L.

Jon Wertheim's mockery of tennis ace Barbora Krejcikova's looks, specifically targeting her forehead. When Paul brought up the issue, asking if making such a comment was a big deal, Isabel responded, calling it "unnecessarily harsh." But things escalated when Eamonn quipped to Isabel, "You're just speaking as a woman with a big forehead." Isabel shot back, agreeing that people should refrain from forehead remarks, with a keen glare at Eamonn.

She emphasised: "She can't do anything about it you know, she's got a big forehead, why is that an interesting part of her. But I understand why it's a frustration because women's appearances get commented on all the time.", reports the Mirror.

Contrastingly, Eamonn suggested he'd face similar scrutiny for his own looks if he were to play tennis professionally. He joked: "No, no, no if I went out in tennis shorts all people would be talking about is my appearance.
