This Morning’s Eamonn Holmes rips Ferne McCann as she takes on London’s scariest zip wire

EAMONN Holmes poked fun at Ferne McCann on Friday’s This Morning as she took on London’s scariest zip wire.

The former Towie star had put herself forward for the new experience – which see’s people flying across the river Thames at 40mph.

Before they played the clip, Eamonn ripped into the former Towie star and told This Morning viewers: “Who would be stupid enough to do this?”

Ferne then put up her hand and said: “Me, it’s me.”

The presenter bravely put herself forward to try out the zip wire – being the second person to ever try it out.

The zip wire – which is 450 metres long and goes across the river Thames – was created by experts from London’s Fire Brigade and is only open on Friday.

They hope to raise £1million for Evelina London Children’s Hospital and help them get closer to their
£2.7 million target which will help fund a clinical research facility.

Climbing up to the top of St Thomas’ Hospital, Ferne tried to stay calm but couldn’t help but get upset as she realised she was 52 metres high.

As she was strapped in, she begged the firefighters to re-check her straps, saying: “Are you sure they’re tight enough?”

Seconds later she was sent over and started to soar towards the Houses of Parliament.

Although she screamed at first, it was clear Ferne was really starting to enjoy herself – even putting out her arms in front of her to pretend she was flying.

Afterwards Ferne admitted she was glad she’d given it a go, but how long it’ll be until she does something like this again is anyone’s guess…
