Towards the end of the show, the pair were chatting to Julian Clary about his new children's book but Eamonn, 58, had to keep trying to suppress his coughs.

As Julian spoke, he glanced at Eamonn and said: "I'm trying to talk while Eamonn is coughing away."

Putting his hand over his mouth and coughing again, he replied: "I'm sorry mate I got one of those air conditioned coughs on the plane.

"I think what I might do is leave and let you guys carry on."

Kate looked round in shock and asked: "Oh really? Bless you, are you that bad?"

Starting to turn his chair and get up, Eamonn gestured to Julian and said through a thick throat: "Well it's disrespectful, off you go off you go."

He then walked off without another word, leaving the rest of the stars to pause before Julian joked: "Will he ever be seen again?"

Laughing, Kate replied: "Are you the man to finish Eamonn Holmes off Julian?"
