He and his co-host Isabel Webster were discussing Shakira's new diss track, aimed at her ex Gerard Pique, went Eamonn began to discuss some people who were 'dead' to him.

After asking viewers to call in with their tales of revenge, Isabel said to Eamonn: "You talk a good game about this. You do, you talk a good game about it but actually, all the people in your life that you've had ding dongs with in the past, you're on great terms with now when I think about it?"

Eamonn quickly corrected her, explaining that he still has beef with some people in the industry.

As Isabel quizzed him on whether he still had unresolved issues with his former GMTV co-host Anthea Turner, who he famously dubbed "Princess Tippytoes", Eamonn said he was "prepared to forgive and forget."

After Isabel then commented that he was good at "getting over" squabbles, he revealed he sometimes holds a grudge.

"No, but there are other people who have got names who are dead to me whose names I can't..." the silver fox admitted.

"Let's not go there," Isabel interjected.

"That's the thing," Eamonn added, "Once you cross...there are evil people. Let's face it there are evil people and in the fight against good or evil, which I am good.The only sort of enemy you want is a defeated enemy."

Eamonn did not name names, but he famously slated fellow This Morning host Phillip Schofield in the past, as well as his ITV daytime employers.

He dubbed Phil "passive agressive" and said he had a habit of "snubbing" people.

Eamonn also called ITV "sly" for the way they handled his sacking from This Morning.

Last July, he also blasted ITV chief Dame Carolyn McCall after his bitter axing.

The TV presenter claims he was never given an explanation for being replaced by Alison Hammond and Dermot O'Leary.

It came after his controversial comments, suggesting there could be a link between 5G masts and the spread of the coronavirus.

Asked if this was the reason for his sacking, Eamonn told the Mirror: "It’s never been mentioned to me. If that was the case, at least that would be a reason.

"And if Dame EasyJet [ITV boss Dame Carolyn McCall, ex-chief exec of EasyJet] had wanted an apology or some sort of explanation, fine. But she never picked up the phone and asked me."
