Eamonn Holmes’ new girlfriend Katie Alexander has shared their first photos together on Instagram amid the broadcaster’s health struggles.
The GB News presenter, 65, began dating the marriage counsellor, 43, after his split from Loose Women star Ruth Langsford last year following 14 years of marriage.
Alexander posted a reel of a recent loved-up day out with the former This Morning host on Instagram, which was set to The Levellers’ song, What A Beautiful Day.
She posed for cosy selfies with Holmes, who was in a wheelchair, and her dog Dottie in the clip, which was captioned: “Lovely weather... lovely company.”
Alexander is believed to be based in Yorkshire, where she is co-parenting her two teenagers with her ex-husband, while Holmes has been living in a penthouse flat in Kingston since moving out of the house he shared with Langsford.
Holmes and Langsford announced their split last May. They began dating in 1996 and married in 2010.
“Ruth Langsford and Eamonn Holmes have confirmed their marriage is over and they are in the process of divorcing,” they said in a short joint statement.
Meanwhile, Holmes has been facing a slew of health struggles recently.
On Wednesday morning, he fell off his chair while presenting a live segment on GB News.
While the camera was trained on commentator Charlie Rowley, a crash could be heard off-screen as Holmes’ co-host Ellie Costello exclaimed: “Oh my gosh!”
As Rowley looked stunned and went to help Holmes, the veteran host was heard saying: “I'm fine, I’m fine. Carry on, carry on.”
Rowley tried to continue but the programme cut to adverts seconds later for an extended six-minute break.
Holmes returned to the screen after the break, joking: “I’m still alive!
“They're very wonky wheels on chairs we've got here, as a matter of fact we don't really like the chairs here.”
The incident comes just two weeks after he fell on the wet floor of his bathroom, suffering the “sorest and most powerful” knock to his head and fearing he was “dead”.
“[I] fell on the bathroom floor and once I was down, I couldn’t get up. It was the worst bang to my head and shoulder,” he later recalled on GB News.
“I went down and I said, ‘I’m dead’ I have never had a bang to the head as sore and as powerful as that before. I lay there and I thought, ‘Where’s the blood?’
Holmes said he was fortunate to have his phone within reach and was able to call for an ambulance.
He shared a photo from the ambulance as well as a selfie from the hospital, reassuring his followers that he was recovering well.
