This Morning fans in hysterics as Eamonn Holmes tucks napkin into his shirt to eat

This Morning fans couldn't stop laughing at one of Eamonn Holmes' adorable habits as he hosted the ITV show on Friday.

The 61-year-old presenter was joined by wife Ruth Langsford as he invited chef John Torode into the studio to cook up a storm.

As Ruth asked John about the upcoming series of Celebrity MasterChef, Eamonn could be seen tucking a large napkin into his smart white shirt.

The Northern Irish broadcaster clearly wanted to make sure that he didn't spill anything down his suave blue shirt as he tucked into John's pot roast chook.

Viewers tuning in at home were in hysterics and took to Twitter to comment.

A fourth person penned: "@EamonnHolmes Napkined up and ready to go. G'wan fella! #ThisMorning (sic)."

Another person observed: "Eamonn enjoy your dinner, you looked so excited pmsl #ThisMorning."

Earlier on in the show, Eamonn and John made a few digs at one another when John announced what he would be cooking.

Comparing the dish to duck in pancakes, John revealed he would be making a similar dish but using chicken instead.

Eamonn appeared confused and asked John why it wasn't duck, to which he replied: "Eamonn, you gotta start listening you know! Is he in there, Ruth? Is he in there?"

It came after Eamonn branded John "a dirty pig" over the way he chooses to eat custard cream biscuits.

At the beginning of the ITV show, Eamonn and Ruth were discussing their favourite biscuits to enjoy with a cup of tea.

Ruth revealed that supermarket Morrison's have created a mash up of a custard cream and a bourbon biscuit.

As the pair tried the new biscuit creation, they turned the conversation to 56-year-old John and asked him what his preferred biscuit is.

"See it’s not about the combination of the biscuit for me, it’s how you eat it," John explained.

"Because you take the biscuit apart and you take the custard off it and then you have the biscuit."

Eamonn then jokingly replied: "You’re such a dirty pig," as Ruth laughed beside him.

John also burst out laughing, as Eamonn continued: "Imagine living with you, you're like the sort of child who used to lick his plate clean."

This Morning airs weekdays at 10am on ITV.
