Eamonn Holmes has given fans a heartwarming first glimpse of himself since suffering a stroke in April, sharing a candid snap from his hospital bed alongside his girlfriend, Katie Alexander.
The 66-year-old broadcaster, known for his iconic presence on GB News, appeared relaxed and sun-kissed in sunglasses as he posed with Katie, revealing a determined smile despite recent health challenges.
In an accompanying update, Eamonn shared a touching moment with his granddaughters, who held up handwritten signs saying, “Get Well SOOM.” “As my beautiful granddaughters put it so well — I will do my best to get well SOOM. Thank you for all of your many, many good wishes; they give me strength,” he wrote. 💖
Speaking to The Sun, Eamonn added: “I can’t wait to be out of this gown and back in a suit and tie. Watch this space. I’ll be back after this break.” Fans have rallied online, sending waves of support to the veteran Irish star.
This update comes amid reports that Eamonn has been put on a temporary break from his 19-year tenure on the Manchester United Foundation board. Sources say the enforced pause is due to standard governance rules, not personal choice, though insiders insist he could return in the future.
