Gogglebox has issued an apology to Eamonn Holmes after he revealed his upset over how he edited on the show.
A clip of him on Gogglebox made it look like he was laughing while a man was having a heart attack.
The clip in question was shown on last night’s show (Friday, June 5), where a boy can be seen resuscitating his dad, who had just had a heart attack.
What happened?
During a clip from BBC series Ambulance, Eamonn was seen telling a jokey story where he commends his own driving.
However, he later tweeted that he’d actually told the story of his own father, who died in similar circumstances, but says this was edited out.

The scene had shown a ten-year-old boy desperately calling for help after his dad collapsed after having a heart attack and became unresponsive.
Medics on the phone helped him to resuscitate his dad. It then cut to a clip of Eamonn discussing when Ruth went into labour and that he joked that he’d get her to hospital on time.
What did Eamonn say?
Eamonn received some negative comments on Twitter about his response and soon hit back.
In reply to a number of complaints ….
I am hurt beyond belief that @C4Gogglebox chose not to use me talking about my Father dying from a Heart Attack at the side of a road and replace it with a funny story following a young lad giving his Father CPR . Idiotic and cruel edit.
