Eamonn Holmes smiles through the pain as he arrives at party struggling to walk
Eamonn Holmes was seen struggling to walk as he attended a lavish party with his girlfriend. The GB News presenter, 63, and partner Katie Alexander, 43, were hand in hand as they arrived an an engagement party for his co-presenter Nana Akua.
Dressed in his traditional navy two-piece suit and crisp white shirt, Eamonn beamed as Katie linked arms. The presenter was requiring a stroller to hold on to as he pushed on with his walking aid.
Katie, meanwhile, opted for a fitted chocolate brown bodycon dress. She paired it with matching open-toe heels, a chunky gold necklace and gold-trimmed sunglasses.
They were seen attending the glamorous engagement alongside celebrity pals and her family and friends. The event, held at Shoreditch's Blue Marlin Clubn saw the group celebrate the occasion with Nana and her fiance Stephen Gillen. Katie was thought to have stayed by Eamonn's side throughout the night in what is one of their first public outings together.
Despite Eamonn needing the assistance, he looked to be in good spirits. The former This Morning host has long battled health issues after dislodging discs in his back. He previously said this impinged on his sciatic nerve and caused mobility of his right leg to be affected.
He has continued to update followers about his condition, including going through spinal surgery. The presenter has also had a double hip replacement as he continues to struggle walking, often using a mobility scooter.Last year, Holmes and his wife Ruth Langsford announced their split, after tying the knot in 2010. He previously said his health issues had caused problems with his marriage.
In 2022 he said: "Even my own family are bored of my moaning,' he said. 'It has caused some strain and Ruth is fed up of hearing about it and of me saying I can't walk the dog or tidy up, but I can't help it. It's agony.'
After he and Ruth split Eamonn moved on to start dating marriage counsellor Katie. She previously opened up on why she didn't attend this year's TRIC Awards were her man last month.
On Instagram, she shared a snap of herself in a wooden cabin. She sat barefoot inside the spot and used stickers that read "be mindful" and "peace and quiet" alongside the image.
Captioning the upload, she wrote: "Was going to The Tric Awards, but I'd rather protect my Mental Health and Inner Peace than be subjected to more online hate from people who don't know me."
At the event in London, Eamonn and fellow GB News Breakfast Show stars took to the stage after bagging the Best News Programme gong.

Imported dogs could carry disease or behaviour risk, RSPCA warns
He said: 'One reason that there is such an interest in dogs with cropped ears is that a lot of influencers on Instagram and other social media platforms pose with these dogs or show they have these new dogs with cropped ears. Many people aren't aware that this is a mutilation.

Alex Jones had ‘no idea' about complaints made against Jermaine Jenas
The former Tottenham Hotspur midfielder was removed from the presenting team at BBC's Match Of The Day and The One Show following alleged issues relating to workplace conduct. Before he was sacked in August, Jenas had been a regular pundit on sports programmes and a presenter on BBC Radio 5 Live. Alex Jones attending the 2025 Bafta Television Awards with P&O Cruises at Southbank Centre's Royal Festival Hall in London (Jordan Pettitt/PA) Jones, 48, who co-presented with Jenas on The One Show, told the Big Issue she did not know about the complaints until he had left. She said: 'I very much take people on face value. But with JJ [Jenas] I didn't know what was going on. 'I had no idea. I thought he was taking extended leave. 'The BBC didn't share with me what was going on until they actually dealt with it. And, you know, they did what they thought was right. 'If that was my daughter and she felt uncomfortable with someone's behaviour, I hope that whatever company she was working for would deal with it swiftly as well.' Jermaine Jenas insists he has taken responsibility for the conduct which led to his dismissal (Nigel French/PA) After being sacked from the BBC, Jenas apologised, saying he had done 'nothing illegal' and that 'inappropriate messages' sent were 'between two consenting adults'. Months later, Jenas' wife, Ellie Penfold, announced the couple had split up after 16 years together. In a statement on her Instagram story, Penfold said: 'I never imagined I would have to share something so personal with the public, but given the situation, I feel it's necessary. 'After 16 years together and 4 wonderful children, Jermaine and I have decided to part ways. 'We will remain friends and continue to co-parent.' Alex Jones and Jason Manford stand outside Western House, London, after appearing on Chris Evans's Radio 2 breakfast show (Fiona Hanson/PA) Jenas returned to broadcasting on TalkSport radio in February after the outlet distanced itself from him in the wake of his departure from the BBC. It is not the first time Jones has had a co-presenter leave The One Show with Jason Manford, who joined the programme at the same time as her in August 2010, resigning only three months into the role for sharing sexual internet messages with female fans. Despite co-presenting on the show for a few months, Jones said she is still 'really good pals' with Manford. – The full interview with Alex Jones can be read in this week's Big Issue, on sale now.
