Eamonn Holmes has moved on from his relationship with Ruth Langsford and is enjoying a new romance. The former This Morning presenters announced their shock split in May and the GB News host, 64, was quick to fall in love again. Earlier this month, he was snapped getting cosy at a Spanish port with his new flame, Katie Alexander, 42.
The couple jetted off on a Mediterranean cruise for some late-summer relaxation and sunshine. It has now been revealed that the romantic trip away was actually a paid work job for the television anchor, who signed a lucrative deal as an ambassador with holiday company, Not Just Travel. A source claimed the cruise break didn't cost Eamonn a penny - but Katie was happy to join and "enjoy their first throes of love".
A source told Mail Online : "While it looked like Eamonn had whisked Katie off on a no-expense-spared trip away, it didn't actually cost him a penny. It was part of his deal with Not Just Travel so, if anything, he was actually paid to go – which was very fortuitous indeed, especially because he could take a plus one with him." The source added that there was an "element of work" as Eamonn had to "film some segments to promote the company".
"But the fact he didn't pay certainly lessens the whole idea it was a romantic trip away," they said. "Katie didn't seem to mind though, it was a lovely, sunny break for her as they enjoy their first throes of love." Meanwhile, Loose Women panellist Ruth is said to be 'gobsmacked' at Eamonn's new r.
