Brown to get cosy on Eamonn's sofa

When he was on GMTV, Eamonn Holmes was a favourite of Tony Blair when the former prime minister wanted some cosy sofa chat. Holmes may have moved on to BBC Radio Five Live, but that hasn't stopped prime ministers beating a path to his door and this Saturday he will interview Gordon Brown on his 9am to 11am sports show. The pre-recorded interview will cover the PM's "sporting memories and heroes, his sporting interests past and present and his opinions on the big sporting events including British football, the Six Nations and the forthcoming Olympics", according to the PR blurb. There may not be a sofa in the radio studio but Monkey is guessing the chat will be as cosy as the good old days with Tony.
