Eamonn Holmes has apologised after comparing the hair of This Morning’s medical expert Dr Zoe Williams to an alpaca.
The presenter made the joke during Thursday’s (12 August) episode of the ITV morning show, suggesting that he’d like to “pet” Williams’s hair.
“Just a normal day on @ITV and @ThisMorning with Eamonn Holmes telling a woman of colour her hair ‘reminds him of an alpaca’,” wrote actor Alan Turkington.
“Making jokes about a black woman’s hair is never being ‘humorous’ especially when comparing it to an animal,” wrote another person.
