Eamonn Holmes divided This Morning fans today.
The ITV presenter was branded “filthy” by some as he admitted to cooking bacon in the microwave.
Eamonn’s wife Ruth Langsford told the audience above her hubby microwaving bacon.
She said: “I came down the stairs and thought what is this horrible smell? Did you see the fat splattering inside?”
The camera then panned to chef James Martin who began shaking his head at Eamonn.

Ruth giggled as she said: “I know James, help. What can I do with him?”
Many viewers seemed to agree it wasn’t right, as one exclaimed: “Microwaving bacon is a sin Eamonn! No, no, no!”
Another added: “Microwaved bacon? Eamonn Holmes is a filthy pig #ThisMorning.”
A third chimed in: “Never cooked bacon in a microwave so you aren’t alone Ruth.”
Others were on Eamonn’s side though, with one writing on Twitter: “My Nan used to microwave bacon for me as a kid – I thought that was the proper way of cooking it till I was about 16 (tasted good though!).”

Another added: “Always cook bacon in a microwave, not as crispy but just as nice.”
The cheeky banter came as Eamonn opened up about Ruth’s lockdown worries on Instagram.
The 60-year-old television presenter admitted that Ruth, 60, is feeling “very anxious” about the current pandemic.
Taking part in an Instagram Live on Saturday evening, Eamonn said of Ruth: “She’s a domestic goddess, she scrubs and she cleans this house, she really keeps us all together here and she’s spending a lot of time designing her clothes for her QVC range, I don’t really understand it but that’s what she’s doing.
“She tends to be very anxious about this, she’s very worried about her mother who is on lockdown in a care home and she can’t see her so they wave to each other through a window.”
Eamonn and Ruth are currently filling in for Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield while they take a week’s break from the show.
This Morning airs weekdays on ITV at 10am
