Kate Beckinsale ropes Eamonn Holmes into quirky hobby of posing with 'suggestive veg'

Kate Beckinsale has proudly introduced Eamonn Holmes to one of her favourite pastimes - posing with phallic fruit and vegetables.

The Underworld actress, 51, took to Instagram on Tuesday to share her delight as she posted a slew of images showing the GB News presenter, 64, looking more than game to get in on the silliness.

The two can be seen sitting down at a table with Beckinsale proudly holding up a cucumber and two strategically placed lemons.

For one of the snaps, the Northern Irish broadcaster can even be seen sticking his tongue out.

She wrote in the accompanying caption: “I don’t know what to say . When you see @eamonnholmes at a party the urge to ask him to pose with suggestive veg is unprecedented for reasons even I don’t understand . This did not happen when I met @springsteen so I have to conclude it’s either intrinsic to Eamonn or something to do with the approaching harvest festival.”

Beckinsale - whose other unusual hobbies include dressing up like a pantomime horse when she travels abroad - spoke about this particular interest with US chat show host Seth Meyers back in 2016.

Holding up an example of her in action, he said: “This is not a one-off photo”

“No it’s not, I do this quite a lot,” she confirmed.

“Yeah, you in fact sent us 30 photos today,” a bemused Meyers retorted.

Keen to set the record straight that it was not as perverse as it might sound, she explained: “I like the fruit version, it’s not like I’m just obsessed with just all people’s penises.”

Beckinsale even took it one step further one time and actually dressed up as a penis herself.
