Easy To Understand Confusion

'You're half lesbian?

Eamonn Holmes makes embarrassing TV gaffe as Salma Hayek explains her LEBANESE background

By Daily Mail Reporter

Eamonn Holmes was left red-faced today after wrongly announcing Hollywood actress Salma Hayek was a lesbian on live television.

The 48-year-old presenter made the embarrassing gaffe while interviewing the Ugly Betty star on This Morning, which he hosts once a week with his partner Ruth Langsford.

The Belfast native was obviously struggling to understand Hayek's Mexican accent and thought she had 'come out' when he misheard her describing her Lebanese background.
