What did Eamonn Holmes say?

It came as Eamonn and Ruth, both 61, were testing Morrison’s latest Bourbon Cream biscuit.

The tasty treat is a mash-up of a Custard Cream and a traditional Bourbon.

He shared: “See it’s not about the combination of the biscuit for me, it’s about how you eat it.

“You take the biscuit apart and then you take the custard off it and then you eat the biscuit.”

However, Eamonn appeared disgusted by John’s admission.

He replied: “You’re such a dirty pig. Imagine living with you.
