Eamonn Holmes in unfortunate gaffe as he mistakenly thinks Daisy Lowe’s dad has DIED after her Father’s Day tribute
EAMONN Holmes suffered an unfortunate gaffe this evening after mistakenly thinking Daisy Lowe's dad had DIED after reading her Father's Day tribute.
The 61-year-old star sent his condolences to the 32-year-old model, who is the daughter of rocker Gavin Rossdale.
Taking to her Instagram page today, the brunette beauty had shared a photo of herself with her famous dad while lamenting not being able to visit him in Los Angeles due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.
She wrote: "HAPPY FATHERS DAY DAD - god I miss you…. (Global pandemics & living in different continents really suck) It’s been way too long since I gave you a cuddle.
"Wishing you the most gorgeous day with my angel brothers- thanks for being the greatest leader of the pack. Giving the best advice, forever the calm and compassionate fountain of wisdom.
"And the creator of the world's best breakfast burritos. I am so grateful, in the worlds most complicated way, you turned out to be my dad. You inspire me every day…
"I love you more than words could ever express- I can’t wait til we get to have more adventures together again ♥️♥️♥️"
Eamonn appeared to hugely misunderstand the caption, commenting on Daisy's post: "🙏🙏🙏 I had no idea u had lost your Dad Daisy. He must have been so young 😒 x"
But thankfully she was happy to clarify, simply writing in response: "@eamonnholmes he’s just in la where I can’t visit!!! Thank you love xxx"
Gavin was only revealed to be Daisy's father in 2004, with it initially thought that the Bush frontman – who had a brief relationship with Daisy’s mum Pearl back in the '80s – was her godfather.
Speaking previously about the shock news Pearl admitted: “While Daisy and I are close, things haven’t always been easy.
“It was a bit hairy for six months when I told her I suspected her father was the musician Gavin Rossdale.

“Gavin told me if Daisy, then 14, had a DNA test, he’d never speak to me again and he’s kept his word.
“I lost him as a friend, but Daisy has a relationship with him, which is great.”
At the time of the revelation Gavin was married to singer Gwen Stefani, who he has since divorced.
Despite the unusual start to their father-daughter relationship, Gavin and Daisy are now incredibly close.
