Instagram users were stunned when Eamonn Holmes took to the social media platform from his car to show off a new look to his admirers – but a clash soon followed
Many of Eamonn Holmes’ Instagram followers couldn’t believe what they saw when the presenter shared his new look with the world.
The former This Morning presenter, 64, made headlines earlier this year following his split from his wife Ruth Langsford after 14 years of marriage and he has since seemingly moved on from the separation with a new girlfriend.
However, this Thursday morning (October 3, 2024), Eamonm Holmes took to his Instagram account before setting off in his car, as he shared a selfie from the driver’s seat, as he addressed a sultry look to the camera.
“Set off at 5.30 …. Driving through a beautiful Sunny Birmingham now”, he wrote in his caption, prompting numerous reactions in the comment section as the majority of his fans praised his clean-shaven look. But a clash soon followed as some of his followers claimed he had shared an old photo.
“Lovely photo”, one Instagram user commented, while another echoed: “Looking good.” A third agreed: “TV Legend. Looking good”, while a fourth continued: “Looking good! Have a great day Eamonn, Gem Belfast.” Another concluded: “Looking like a young Bert Reynolds without the tash.”
However, another Instagram user argued: “This pic is same one used in July”, just as one follower wrote: “Not a current photo.” Moments later, Eamonn relayed another selfie in which he appears enjoying a “bacon bap breakfast.” But the new post didn’t receive the warmest of welcomes on the platform.
“Do we REALLY need to see this”, one follower asked, to which Eamonn responded: “Well Dee u r the one who likes food . Only doing it because some people think I’m posting old pics !”
Another row was ignited in the comment sections as many referred to Eamonn’s harsh words against Phillip Schofield, who recently returned to our screens with a new show on Channel 5. One follower penned: “Why be so unkind to schofield when ur own behaviour is not kind towards ruth? Makes no sense. I have always loved your views but people in glass houses….. be kind.”
Over on GB News on Monday (September 30), Eamonn Holmes tore into Phillip and said he is “proud” to have been one of the people who “threw him under the bus”, as he fronted his morning show. He said: “I believe he is where he deserves to be,” before adding: “I am one of the people who threw him under the bus, I am very proud to have done it.” Eamonn went on: “This man is addicted to fame. Absolutely addicted to fame.”
