Eamonn Holmes has made a rare comment about the ‘tough year’ he’s faced. The GB News presenter, 64, has been struggling with his health and suffering from chronic pain over the last few years, and has been pictured in public using crutches and in a wheelchair . Earlier this year, he opened up about his mobility issues, after saying that he was on ‘borrowed time’ and ‘not OK’.
Eamonn has also faced a difficult year after splitting from wife Ruth Langsford after 14 years of marriage . He’s now opened up about the past few months, and shared gratitude for other parts of his life. Speaking to The Sun at the Irish Post awards this week, the presenter said: ‘It’s been a tough year and I’ll be glad to see the back of it.
‘But there are lots of things to be grateful for and I hope that my health improves next year.’ His comments come after his new romance with Katie Alexander , 42, who was also seen at the event with him. The couple were pictured together months after Eamonn’s split from Ruth, and they’ve since embarked on a luxury Mediterranean cruise, with reports claiming they’ve been growing closer in recent weeks, and are even looking at homes together.
An onlooker added to The Sun: ‘Katie certainly seems to be able to put a smile back on Eamonn’s face. ‘They seem genuinely besotted with each other.’ Eamonn slipped three discs in his back in 2021, losing ‘full mobility’, and has spoken about his chronic pain and difficulty walking.
