Eamonn Holmes didn't hold back as he picked up his first award since leaving This Morning last year. The presenter was all smiles as he attended the Television and Radio Industries Club (Tric) Awards on Wednesday afternoon (July 6) where he picked up news presenter of the year.
He said he was “very proud” of the recognition after he started his brand new role on GB News where he hosts the channel’s new Breakfast With Eamonn And Isabel programme at the start of the year. Eamonn announced back in December that he was joining the network, sealing his exit from This Morning.
The veteran broadcaster had hosted the popular ITV show for 15 years alongside wife Ruth Langsford. While she has remained working with ITV on Loose Women, and is set to make a This Morning comeback over the summer, Eamonn hidden his dismay over his former employer.
