If you’ve ever watched a morning show in the UK, chances are you’ve heard Eamonn Holmes’ voice. Born in 1959 in Belfast, he jumped into broadcasting straight out of school, landing a junior reporting job at the local newspaper. A few years later, he was on TV screens as a newsreader for Ulster Television, and the rest, as they say, is history.
Eamonn grew up in a working‑class family that valued staying informed. He started as a copy boy, hustling around the newsroom, then got his first on‑air break in the early 1980s. His genuine, down‑to‑earth style made him a natural on camera, and he quickly moved from regional news to national programmes.
By the late ‘80s, he was a regular face on Sky News, covering everything from politics to pop culture. The fast‑paced environment sharpened his interview skills, and he learned how to keep a conversation flowing even when the news cycle got chaotic.
The big breakthrough came in 1993 when he co‑hosted GMTV with Kathie Lee. Their chemistry was instant, and viewers loved the mix of serious news and light‑hearted banter. After a decade of morning TV, Eamonn switched to This Morning in 2006, partnering with Fern Britton and later with Ruth Langsford. The trio tackled everything from celebrity interviews to real‑life stories, cementing his reputation as a reliable, friendly presenter.
Beyond mornings, Eamonn tried his hand at game shows, quiz formats, and charity specials. He’s fronted Deal or No Deal, appeared on Strictly Come Dancing, and regularly hosts charity events for Children in Need and Comic Relief. Fans appreciate his willingness to get involved in causes, especially those related to mental health and children's welfare.
In recent years, Eamonn has shifted toward more flexible work. He now hosts the weekend edition of GB News and runs his own podcast, where he chats with fellow media personalities and shares behind‑the‑scenes stories from his long career. The podcast format lets him be more personal, answering fan questions and talking about his life off‑screen.
On the personal side, Eamonn’s been open about his marriage to model and TV host Gabrielle, their family life, and his love for gardening. He often posts photos of his garden, saying it’s his way to unwind after a hectic broadcast schedule.
What keeps Eamonn relevant? Simplicity. He never tries to be anything other than himself—friendly, curious, and a bit cheeky. Whether you’re watching him on TV, listening to his podcast, or scrolling through his social media posts, you get the feeling you’re chatting with a mate who just happens to know a lot about news and entertainment.
So if you’re looking for a presenter who blends professionalism with a genuine personality, Eamonn Holmes is the go‑to choice. Keep an eye on his upcoming shows and remember to tune in—he’s likely to have something interesting to say, and you won’t want to miss it.
Eamonn Holmes, the well-known GB News presenter, suffered a painful fall at home and remains hospitalized, adding to his years-long battle with severe mobility problems.
