Eamonn Holmes opens up about ‘horrible' former co-stars he has worked with branding some of them ‘false'
The Belfast man was speaking on his Things We Like podcast he hosts alongside Paul Coyte
Northern Irish presenter Eamonn Holmes has spoken out about the 'horrible' former co-stars he has worked with on TV on the latest episode of his podcast, branding some of them 'false, false, false'.
The Belfast man was speaking on his Things We Like podcast he hosts alongside Paul Coyte, as Thursday's episode featured The Departed actor Ray Winstone and the trio got onto the subject around the world of showbiz.
When asked by Holmes about why Winstone decided to leave Los Angeles and why he was not 'mixing and socialising' with his other celebrity pals, the 68-year-old Londoner told the former This Morning presenter it would be like 'living above the shop'.
"LA... I couldn't live in LA. It's constant,' Winstone said.
"Even the guy who puts petrol in your car works in the industry. It's like every two minutes, it's all they want to talk about. We talk about birds and football and boxing, you know, they talk about movies.
"There's something else out there, you know, and I think to be successful in what you do, you've got to know what else is going on in the world rather than be wrapped up in your own fantasy world.
"Hollywood and Los Angeles are wonderful places when you're doing alright, but when you're not."
Holmes – an experienced figure in the world of showbiz – shared his own experience of 'fakery' in the industry, adding: "'I don't like this character. I don't like so and so. I like that person. I didn't get on with them'.
"That's what the business is based on. I mean, I'm like you [Winstone]. I get myself into trouble because if I don't like someone, they'll know I don't like them.
"And there are so many horrible people that you end up with. People say: 'Oh, he's lovely, he's fantastic'.
"If they say to me: 'What's that Ray Winstone like?' I'll say he is lovely and he is fantastic and people will believe me because I wouldn't say it if you weren't, but so many are just false, false, false.'

While Holmes didn't elaborate on who he was referring to during the discussion, the Belfast man has previously spoken about several high-profile feuds with former on-screen colleagues, including former This Morning presenter Phillip Schofield.
Last year the 65-year-old claimed Schofield 'deserves to be in exile' from TV and said he was 'addicted to fame, absolutely addicted to fame'.
