Holmes was taking part in a discussion on last night's incident, when he said: “This is going back to the '70s and to the '80s, the type of thing you were seeing that was bad about Hillsborough, for instance.”

Unsurprisingly, people are outraged at the remarks, with calls on the presenter to apologise, and even for Sky to sack him.
