Eamonn Holmes talked Crocs on GB News (Image: GB NEWS) Eamonn Holmes has praised Crocs multiple times already this year, saying he wears them to aid his mobility - but the plastic, hole-filled shoes are hardly a fashion accessory. Today, co-host Ellie playfully ribbed him live on GB News , as he was forced to deny that he wears "high heeled" versions of the shoe. Their banter comes as a survey referenced on the show revealed that seven out of 10 people believe they should be "a thing of the past".

Ellie read out viewers' letters about the love-them-or-hate-them brand, with one complaining they were too "slippery" and branding them "an accident waiting to happen". However, Eamonn protested that he "hadn't noticed that" - and that avoiding accidents had been one of his main priorities. The GB News reader had previously tripped and plummetted down a staircase, requiring surgery for his injuries, so he's all too aware of how agonisingly painful a fall can be.

His co-star Ellie accused him of wearing "high-heeled Crocs" after a photo flashed up on the screen of Eamonn wearing what seemed to be a wedge version of the footwear. function loadOvpScript(){let el=document.createElement('script');el.
