Eamonn Holmes has hit out at his friend Davina McCall over her see-through dress at the BRIT Awards
BRITS 2025: Jack Whitehall takes brutal swipe at ITV presenters
TV veteran Eamonn Holmes couldn’t resist a cheeky dig at his pal Davina McCall over her daring look at the glittering BRIT Awards ceremony.
The television star turned heads in a stunning black lace gown that flaunted her enviable physique. The appearance follows her courageous recovery from surgery to remove a benign brain tumour that was diagnosed and excised last November.
While on the red carpet, Davina candidly shared: “I just thought, how disgraceful can I look? I’m growing old disgracefully. I thought what should I do? And I thought go see-through.”
During his morning show Breakfast with Eamonn and Ellie, Eamonn opened up about feeling awkward after having spent time with Davina shortly before the event, saying: “I was quite embarrassed by that. I was with Davina, with her the night before, having dinner. I couldn’t look at her the same way.”

His fellow presenter, Dawn Neesom chimed in with a humorous quip about Davina’s dinner attire: “She was wearing more than that when you were having dinner, hopefully?” to which Eamonn humorously confirmed: “She was. She was. She was in love with life,” reports the Mirror.
Colleague Suzan Holder also weighed in, praising Davina’s radiant health and confidence post-surgery, noting: “That’s fantastic. The fact that she’s well. As I say, she looks great. That is what she will tell you. It’s empowering. I want to do this. That’s fine. But I know people who work in telly and women that work in television.”
Earlier in the segment, Suzan expressed her reluctance to criticise other women but noted it was a “shame she feels she needs to do that”.
“Davina McCall, who looks fantastic, she’s perfectly decent. She’s donned a sheer dress over bra and pants. She looks fabulous. She’s been through a lot. I don’t want to criticise another woman, but to me, you need to look like, she’s in the paper because she’s competing with those other women. That’s what she’s doing there. It’s a shame she feels she needs to do that,” she had said.

Davina had previously spoken candidly about her tumour, confessing she was “so angry”.
“I felt like this thing had taken control of me and I was so angry about that. I couldn’t let it go, I was like, ‘How dare you control my daily life like this and make me feel every day like I’m in danger?’ … I have a newfound enormous sympathy for people who have benign brain tumours,” she revealed on her podcast Begin Again.
“I have had so many people say to me, ‘Well, at least it was benign.’ And you think, ‘You have no idea that benign brain tumours can still kill you.’ It’s just, you don’t know when it’s going to happen. It could happen tomorrow, it could happen in years’ time. It’s different to cancer, but it is also awful. A benign does not mean fine.”
The BRIT Awards are available to stream on ITVX
