Eamonn Holmes to launch new podcast
The Belfast-born broadcaster (65) is joining forces with fellow GB News presenter to front 'Things We Like With Eamonn and Paul'. In a social media post teasing the venture, Holmes wrote: 'Working with my mates @Coytey67 and Deano on our soon to be released podcast/ videocast Things we Like today. Hoping you like the same things.' Last year the pair originally announced they were going to host a live tour under the same name. The first show was due to take place on March 11 but it was reportedly cancelled due to last-minute disagreements around logistics – and not poor ticket sales – according to The Sun. So both men have decided to launch a podcast instead. The first episode is set to be released on May 8 and will feature guest star, British actor Sir David Jason. Renowned for his iconic roles in Only Fools and Horses, Touch of Frost & Open All Hours, Sir David promises to share rare insights, untold stories, and his trademark wit in an engaging conversation with the pair. Speaking about the first episode Eamonn said: 'We couldn't be more thrilled to welcome Sir David Jason as our very first guest. 'His legacy in British television is unmatched, and his warmth and humour set the perfect tone for what we hope will be a long and exciting journey.' Watch: A Sneak Peak of Eamonn Holmes new podcast Holmes has launched the new venture after a rocky year which included a series of setbacks such as ongoing health issues, divorcing from wife Ruth Langsford, and a shake up in the GB News schedule. Podcast episodes are due to be released regularly from May this year with Holmes continuing to present on GB News from Monday to Wednesday. The former This Morning presenter has undergone spinal surgery, a double hip replacement, and struggles walking and using a mobility scooter. In another Instagram post last month he criticised 'social media haters' as he shared a vulnerable message about his experience: 'Even when the Sun shines there's pain. Sometimes I feel I'll never beat this disc immobility but I'm determined to have a life ….. so pray for me.' The TV personality and Loose Women star Ruth Langsford shocked fans by announcing their surprise split in May last year after 14 years of marriage. A joint statement issued at the time by a spokesperson for the former couple - who share one grown-up son - said: "Ruth Langsford and Eamonn Holmes have confirmed their marriage is over and they are in the process of divorcing." Holmes and Langsford worked together for years on ITV's flagship daytime show and were well known for their affectionate bickering, which often happened right in front of the cameras. The premiere episode of Things We Like With Eamonn and Paul will be available on Thursday 8th May across all major podcast platforms, including Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and YouTube.

Eamonn Holmes set to launch new venture after sudden axing of live show
Eamonn Holmes has launched a new venture after a rocky year for the presenter. The 65-year-old has been dealing with a series of setbacks including health issues, an ongoing divorce from his wife Ruth Langsford, a shakeup in presenting schedules at GB News, and the cancellation of his live show. In December last year, Holmes announced he would be touring with his co-presenter Paul Coyte for Things We Like! with Eamonn and Paul. Their first show was due to take place on 11 March but it was reportedly cancelled due to last-minute disagreements around logistics and not poor ticket sales according to The Sun. But the duo have dusted themselves off and are set to launch their new project instead, a podcast where they interview high-profile guests. A story on an Instagram page reportedly set up for the podcast (called Things We Like too) reveals that filming is taking place, with I'm A Celebrity star Barry McGuigan to feature as one of its first guest interviewees. "There was a disagreement with the venue about last-minute logistics, which meant it was impossible for it to run,' a source told The Sun. "Eamonn pulled the plug on that particular show, but he knows there will be plenty of other opportunities in the future. Eamonn is just cracking on with his new project and throwing himself into it. Over the past couple of months, Eamonn has been recording episodes with some massive stars for a brand new podcast. "It's really conversational - heartfelt, emotional conversations with a different names with someone for everyone. Eamonn's used to always having more than one job on the go, but it's usually been with Ruth. This is going to be a the perfect way to turn a page on a new chapter." The podcast is due to be released later in the spring, with Holmes continuing to present on GB News from Monday to Wednesday. In a social media post teasing the venture, Holmes wrote: 'Working with my mates @Coytey67 and Deano on our soon to be released podcast/ videocast Things we Like today. Hoping you like the same things. Will keep you posted re launch date.' Holmes has undergone spinal surgery, a double hip replacement, and struggles walking and using a mobility scooter.
