The presenter angrily slammed the claims via his Twitter page, blaming the ITV set for making their greeting look strange.
Viewers had taken to the micro-blogging site to comment on the moment the reality star arrived in the studio for her chat with the 57-year-old and his wife Ruth Langsford yesterday.
Eamonn later voiced his anger telling his 945,000 followers: “More #FakeNews… Only the first presenter can reach the guest as the glass table gets in the way.”
The broadcaster went on to add that they “all got on really well”, before referring to the 67-year-old as a “lovely woman”.
Sharing a snap of the trio together, Eamonn went on: “Caitlin Jenner lit up our screen this morning on @thismorning. Enjoyed meeting and talking to her very much.”
Meanwhile, there had been several tweets branding their encounter “awkward”, with one reading: “Watching @thismorning very awkward greeting and no kiss from Eammon for Caitlin #cringe.”
Another stated: “#ThisMorning bit awkward, as Eamonn Holmes makes his feelings clear by avoiding welcome hug from Caitlyn Jenner. Ridiculous!”
A fourth agreed: “Eamonn not comfortable with Caitlyn Jenner at all.”
During her appearance, Caitlyn was asked if “Bruce was dead”, to which she replied: “I’d have to agree with you on that one.
“I’m much more comfortable this way. It’s sometimes hard for family members but they can see my happiness.”
This Morning airs weekdays at 10.30am on ITV.
