I think with hindsight it became clear that Eamonn's beef was with GMTV management, and he took it out on Anthea, for which he has apologised. Anthea herself has apologised for being a bit of a brat, and they are friends now.


What where problems Eamonn had with the management?

I can't say for certain, but I'm sure I read something about it being the shift towards fluff over 'proper' news.

Wasn't that much much later when he left himself?

A lot of people don't hold a grudge after so many years and memories fade, so I don't know why people think there would still be hostilities now.

Lorraine Kelly also revealed she and Eamon didn't get on at GMTV....insinuating he didn't appreciate being overshadowed by women. They too though have since kissed and made up. There's more than a whiff of Ron Burgundy with Eamon.

Is the reason why she got sacked in Summer of 1994 while having a baby? I bet STV weren't happy about that. ( bineg part owners etc) Razz Embarassed

Lorraine Kelly, if that's who you're talking about, clearly wasn't "sacked" from GMTV in 1994.

Well, despite what her daughter suggests, you don't get "sacked" and then carry on working for them for another twenty years, which she has clearly done. She was dropped from the main show and moved to the post-9am slot, which is hardly "the sack".

You didn't watch all off it did you? she goes on to say she come back to do a baby and mother thing because the sponsor wanted her back, then it rolled on.

Correct. Johnson & Johnson would only sponsor the slot if Lorraine fronted it so she was brought back, and the success of that led to a new contract.
