Eamonn Holmes 'booed and heckled' on stage as he accepts award at TRIC ceremony
At the 2025 TRIC Awards, former This Morning presenter Eamonn Holmes accepted an award for Best News - but he was met with very mixed reactions Eamonn Holmes encountered a tense atmosphere at Tuesday's Television and Radio Industries Club (TRIC) awards as he collected the News award on behalf of GB News Breakfast. The 65-year-old presenter used a wheelchair ramp to access the stage, where he expressed gratitude to the production team and viewers. However, the moment was marred by audible boos from some attendees. A source present at the event told MailOnline: 'After GB News Breakfast was announced as the winner, there were a few boos around the room. Because of his wheelchair, Eamonn needed a ramp to get on stage.' Despite the reaction, Eamonn delivered a touching tribute to fellow presenter Charli Peters, who had earlier won the News Presenter award for his investigative work on grooming gangs in the UK. 'It was a nice moment, seeing Eamonn pay tribute to a colleague,' the insider added. 'But someone in the audience heckled for Eamonn to 'get off,' which made the end of his speech quite awkward.' It remains uncertain whether Eamonn heard the heckling. He concluded his speech warmly, saying: 'For the thousands of people who voted, that is brilliant for us so we say thank you, thank you, thank you, to anyone who did bother to vote." This marks the second year running that Eamonn has accepted the TRIC News award. Last year, he made his appearance with the aid of a walker and hinted at personal challenges, stating: 'So I got two things in my back that I didn't want,' seemingly referencing his medical procedure and his recent split from former co-host Ruth Langsford. Elsewhere at the ceremony, former Love Island star Tasha Ghouri shared her thoughts on her career direction following her recent split from Andrew Le Page, whom she met on the ITV2 dating show in 2022. The couple, who made it to the Love Island final, ended their relationship after more than two and a half years together. Speaking at the TRIC Awards in London, the 26-year-old said she is focusing on developing her presenting career rather than returning to reality dating shows. 'It's not for me personally,' Tasha admitted, referring to programs like Love Island: All Stars or Celebs Go Dating. She added, 'I know people find love on these shows but my dating shows are closed. I'm going down a different path now. It's something I'm really passionate about. I'm happily single but I'm open to love. I'd love a family.' Tasha's comments underline her desire to move beyond the reality TV spotlight and explore new opportunities in presenting, signaling a fresh chapter in her career.

ITV viewers 'love' new LGBTQ+ sitcom with all 6 episodes free to binge
ITV viewers have applauded the new LGBTQ+ show Transaction, as the first episode aired on Tuesday. Transaction aired as all six episodes of the new sitcom dropped on ITVX the same day, giving viewers the perfect new comedy binge for Pride Month. The ITV2 show follows transgender supermarket worker Liv, played by comedian and writer Jordan Gray, who is hired by Pellocks supermarket to try and paper over a live PR crisis. Liv only agrees to take on the shelf-stacking gig because her housemate Tom (Thomas Gray, no relation) has made it pretty clear he wants her to start contributing to the rent. Manager of Pellocks supermarket Simon, played by Nick Frost in full David Brent mode, hires Liv on the spot to quell an ongoing protest outside the store in the wake of an inadvertently offensive ad campaign. Liv uses the situation to her advantage, cracking up her fair share of pranks and shop hijinks – not to say there aren't heartfelt moments in the mix too. Liv soon gets the hang of working the night shift – as Simon says, 'while the customer snores, we sweep up the floors' – and settles in to a workplace comedy with a real bunch of characters for co-workers. With thousands of members from all over the world, our vibrant LGBTQ+ WhatsApp channel is a hub for all the latest news and important issues that face the LGBTQ+ community. Simply click on this link, select 'Join Chat' and you're in! Don't forget to turn on notifications! Transaction viewers took to X as the episodes dropped on Tuesday to praise the show's comic timing and urge others to jump on the bandwagon. @_MxMike tweeted: 'Just watched the first episode of #Transaction on ITVX. If you know Jordan Gray and her humour, you'll love this.' @BenMorrisGill echoed: 'Watching #Transaction and while I must say, firstly, it's so funny. I'm just a little confused at why the store manager and assistant manager work only at night?' @DoddsyKev weighed in to say they had already watched the first three episodes of the show, writing: 'Love it! Very funny and can't wait to watch the rest.' 'Well that was funny I hope it gets traction,' added @Matts_Tweeting after the first episode aired. Gray told the Metro in an exclusive interview ahead of the show's premiere that the six-parter was years in the making. More Trending The sitcom is written by Gray, who described her character Liv as follows: 'She's a lone wolf character but really just wants to have a family, and then she finds this little weird dysfunctional family.' A review in the RadioTimes described the sitcom as 'sharp, surreally funny' and 'gleefully crude', adding that the show could become an ITV mainstay. Essex-born Gray first shot to fame after reaching the finals in The Voice in 2016. She followed the competition show up with a hit live comedy Is It a Bird?

Sam Thompson's bombshell as he finds out 'posh' background is totally fake
In the final episode of ITV's DNA Journey, best friends Marvin Humes and Sam Thompson make some revealing discoveries... Marvin Humes discovers his ancestor had a secret second family while his best mate Sam Thompson finds out that his 'posh' background is completely fake, in a revelatory episode of DNA Journey. Close friends since meeting in the jungle on I'm A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! two years ago, the loveable pair of presenters are shocked by the discoveries on the ITV hit ancestry show, airing on Thursday. They begin in Jamaica, where Marvin also finds out that he owes his life to a strong woman who made a massive sacrifice. Marvin says: 'I've got a rich heritage of culture from Jamaica in my family. My grandparents were both born here. My Grandma Ruby and Grandpa Randall moved to the UK when they had just got married. We would eat fish and dumplings and Saturday soup.' In Jamaica, Marvin finds out that his Great Grandma Blanche was not actually married to his Great Grandfather David James. They had four children, but immediately after the fourth, Marvin's Grandma Ruby, was born in 1930, David James left. Historian Diane tells Marvin: 'A soon as Ruby was born, David James left for a family he had concurrently along with Blanche.' Marvin says: 'I know that on my Grandfather Randall's side, his father did the same thing. His mum ended up in a mental hospital in Jamaica, called Bellevue, where she died.' Blanche, however, was not broken. She went into domestic service and worked hard, then stood at the pier at Kingston Harbour in 1958 and waved off Ruby and her husband Randall so they could find a new life in the UK as part of the Windrush generation. Ruby and Randall couldn't afford the fare for their three children, so Blanche stepped up to care for them, and went back to work to save up the money to send them to Britain. She knew when she waved goodbye to her daughter in 1958, as she set sail to join Randall who left first, that she'd never see her again. Overwhelmed with emotion, Marvin says: 'I can only think of myself as a parent, it's heartbreaking to think she'd never see her again. Without this happening in 1958, I wouldn't be standing here today. She's the reason. All my family back home in England, we all owe everything to her, for that sacrifice she made on this pier.' Meanwhile, Sam flies into a panic when he is told he has an ancestor who spent time in Jamaica. 'It doesn't sounds good, don't say it..' he says. However, he is relieved to learn there is no slavery connection. Charles Thompson, his four times Great Grandfather, a Lieutenant Colonel, was posted in Jamaica before being called to Europe where he played a vital role in the downfall of Napoleon in the Battle of Waterloo. 'Oh my God, I'm so happy, you really scared me, we were all thinking it,' says Sam. Sam is told that Charles, who was in the 27th (Inniskilling) Foot Regiment, an Irish regiment in the British Army, also took a collection from his regiment of soldiers, donating the equivalent of £5,000 to help starving people. 'He was a philanthropist, I'm so proud,' says Sam. 'He was a total hero.' Sam also discovers a cousin match in Limavady, Northern Ireland, who happens to live in a massive stately home. 'This is mental,' says Marvin. 'I feel like we've turned up at Buckingham Palace, the Irish version.' Sam's long lost cousin, Connolly Patrick McCausland, explains their common ancestor was land agent Robert McCausland, who owned the stately home and also once owned 110 acres of Woolwich, London, where Marvin grew up. 'We're so connected!' says the Made In Chelsea star, adding: 'If I ever get married, I'm getting married here.' Meanwhile, with a castle up the road in Northern Ireland built by a John De Courcy, Sam is wondering if this is also his ancestor - since his surname is actually De Courcy Thompson. Sam explains: 'I dropped 'De Courcy'. One, hard to spell. And two, you sound like a bit of a douche.' But it turns out that Sam is not remotely connected to the famous John De Courcy. Charles's son Lesley made up the name De Courcy, giving it to his third son Sydney to improve their social standing. Sam laughs: 'We faked it and I'm over the moon. I've got a signet ring and it doesn't mean anything. We just gave it to ourselves. It's like those people who buy a knighthood just to call themselves sir or lady. That's us!'
