EAMONN Holmes was forced to apologise after leaving Kerry Katona speechless with a racial slur live on air.
Kerry, 44, appeared on GB News for a debate on plastic surgery and told Eamonn and his co-host Ellie Costello about the eye lift she had last year.
Kerry touched her eyelids as she described what she had done and why, before Eamonn asked: “Are you happy with the eyes?”
The former Atomic Kitten star replied: “I had them done over a year ago now. You know all it was I could… it was making my eyes feel a bit heavy so I had an uplift. But what I don’t like is when…”
But she was then cut off by Eamonn who said: “And you don’t look Oriental or anything do you?”
Kerry looked taken aback before replying she didn’t and that she was happy with how the surgery had gone and its results.
Once the debate was over, Eamonn was forced to apologise for the racial slur.
Clearly annoyed at having to do so, he double down on the matter as he said: “Apparently you’re not allowed to describe someone as looking oriental or… I don’t know how I would end up describing Kerry Katona if her eyes change shape.
“I don’t know how I’m going to say does she look like someone from some other country in the eastern of the world… The world is ridiculous.
“How you have to apologise for people… if she painted herself or… I don’t know I can’t get into this. But anyway.’
His co-host Ellie scrambled to ease the situation saying: ‘But Kerry looks beautiful.”
Eamonn agreed, saying: “Kerry looks well, I’m sorry if you don’t look well or we have offended you in any way or… oh I don’t know.”
