Eamonn Holmes did the ice bucket challenge

Eamonn Holmes was this week criticised for his interview of Jeremy Corbyn, in which he told the Labour leader politics was comparable to football and asked him about his tie.

Today, he decided to do the ice bucket challenge on ITV's This Morning.

Sir Ian McKellen was one of the bucketeers, so to speak, who pithily commented:

Eamonn Holmes speechless, we’ve all longed for that.

Holmes took the challenge following a pledge to do so at the Pride of Britain awards after being urged to by Paula Maguire, who set up the JustGiving page IceBucket4MND for the Motor Neurone Disease Association.
