Eamonn, 65, was seen checking in at Heathrow on Friday with marriage counsellor Katie Alexander, 43.
He forked out for the luxury trip to Greece — the setting for Homer's epic adventure Odyssey — also taking Katie's three grown-up children from her previous marriage.
Yesterday, it was reported Eamonn has had a falling out with Niall, 32, the youngest of his three children with first wife Gabrielle.
It was claimed that Niall was unhappy about his father's behaviour and the circumstances of his dad's marriage split from TV presenter second wife Ruth Langsford.
Jack, 23, his son with Ruth, is also understood to be upset about their marriage breakdown and has sided with his mother.
A source said: 'Things remain strained between him and his father.'
But there was no sign of worry as the GB News frontman, who suffers from spine problems, travelled through the airport in a wheelchair, looking admiringly at Katie.
Sources have revealed to The Sun on Sunday Katie was disappointed that Eamonn pulled out of buying a £550,000 semi-detached house in her native West Yorkshire, where they could stay close to her family home.
She had told friends she was planning to move in some personal belongings to the new home as they prepared for a future together.
A source told The Sun on Sunday: 'It was their first rocky patch but there's nothing a holiday can't fix.'
Fresh twist in Eamonn Holmes & Ruth Langsford's divorce as celeb pair battle over £3.6m home
The relationship wobble came after Katie avoided the Television and Radio Industries Club awards last month, when Eamonn picked up a gong.
She said she stayed away to protect her mental health.
Eamonn is still waiting to finalise his divorce from Loose Women host Ruth, 65.
He has been forking out about £6,000 a month renting a bachelor pad in Surrey after moving out of the marital home.

The naked truth about Page 3: Model Nicola Tappenden reveals 'shocking' wages, life-changing diagnosis at 41 and doomed relationship with Jeff Brazier
For years, Nicola Tappenden was one of Britain's most recognisable Page 3 models, beaming from tabloids and red carpets with effortless glamour. But behind the smiles and photo shoots, she carried a weight she couldn't explain - until a life-changing diagnosis at 41 finally made everything make sense. 'I spent my life feeling different,' Nicola tells MailOnline. 'Like I didn't fit in. Always asking myself, 'Why did I say that? Why did I do that?' That nagging feeling would follow her through fame and her relationships, including a disastrous romance with TV presenter Jeff Brazier. Twenty years earlier, before entering the world of glamour modelling, Nicola worked in compliance at Citibank and lived in Croydon with parents Tina and Steve. A light-hearted pub chat with friends about her 'great boobs' led to her entering The Sun's Page 3 Idol contest in 2002. She kept her progress in the competition a secret from work and when her manager found out, he jokingly confronted her. However, the company's HR wasn't so lighthearted and told her she'd boosted office morale, but her time at the bank was up. Soon after, Nicola won the contest with over 25,000 votes. The prize: a one-year contract with The Sun, red carpet invites, photoshoots, celebrity parties, and what was sold as a fast track to fame and fortune. She was 20, living at home with her parents in Croydon and working for a bank when her friends encouraged her to apply for the contest, which she won after attracting more than 25,000 votes from The Sun readers 'It was just a massive whirlwind,' Nicola recalls. Suddenly, at aged 20 Nicola was walking the red carpet and meeting A-listers at the premiere of The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers. The following day's paper would see Nicola posing in a barely-there dress with the headline: 'Good Lord, it's Nicola's 2 towers!'. 'One night I was at a premiere mixing with A-listers, the next morning I was having a bowl of cornflakes with my mum and dad,' she says. However, she would soon discover the promise of 'fortune' was underwhelming - £1,000 a month. 'I was earning more at the bank,' Nicola reveals. 'I got paid £1,000 a month and then £250 a day to attend events but that might be one day a week or one day a month.' Nicola also found the reality far less glamorous than it appeared. 'I think I did Page 3 for about five years altogether. 'It just isn't what you think it would be.' Despite the public attention, Nicola began to realise that behind the glossy images, her mental health was unravelling. She never felt good enough - not pretty enough, not smart enough and not worthy. She was also subject to a deeply unsettling experience. During a visit to Gibraltar to welcome home Royal Navy officers, Nicola found herself alone in a private room with a group of drunk, high-ranking men. They pressured her to expose herself. Intimidated and alone, she complied - then fled the room in tears. 'They just kept chanting. I eventually gave in - and I've never felt so ashamed.' Back in England, her agent reported the incident. She was sent flowers and an apology - she heard nothing more. 'I was young and vulnerable, and instead of being protected, I was exposed,' she says. Despite the challenges, Nicola became iconic in the Page 3 world. But inwardly, she struggled with relentless self-doubt. 'I never felt pretty enough. I would obsess over every photo. I just wanted to be liked.' She dated several high-profile men, including footballers Bobby Zamora and Simon Walton, who she welcomed daughter Poppy with. Bobby, she says, opened her eyes to a world beyond Croydon. 'He lived in a penthouse in Canary Wharf, and showed me a totally different kind of life. He was normal, funny, kind. I'm grateful to him for that.' She later dated Jeff Brazier, TV presenter and ex-partner of the late Jade Goody. Their relationship, Nicola says, was deeply unhealthy from the start. 'If I'd known then what I know now - about trauma, about myself - I never would have stayed. But I did, because I was desperate to be liked, to feel enough. 'There was a defining moment, and at that point, I should have said I'm never going to speak to you ever again.' Meanwhile, as the Page 3 culture shifted, Nicola became disillusioned. 'The early days of Page 3 when photographer Beverley Goodway was there were the best,' she says. 'He created this amazing culture and when the girls got together, we all loved to see each other. 'It changed when Beverley retired.' During a calendar shoot, Nicola clashed with another model over their unkind behaviour. To this day, she's unsure if she quit or was pushed out - but either way, she was done. She remains close to fellow ex-Page 3 girls Nikkala Stott and Keeley Hazell. 'We laugh all the time because they say I got sacked. If I got sacked, I didn't know about it. But I never went on Page 3 again,' she says. By then, Nicola had built a successful business, launched a fashion label, and went on to appear on reality TV shows, including WAGs Boutique and Celebrity Big Brother where she entered the house to boos. 'Coming out to cheers felt like people were finally seeing me for who I really was,' she says. But the turning point in Nicola's life came at the school gates. A fellow mum suggested Nicola might have ADHD after recognising the same symptoms her daughter had. At first, Nicola was stunned. She then received a professional diagnosis and cried for weeks. 'It was like someone had lifted a huge weight off my shoulders. I realised there was never anything 'wrong' with me, it was what was right with me. 'I grieved for that little girl who was constantly misunderstood. The girl who always felt like she was failing and never good enough.' The diagnosis reframed her life. It also gave her the tools to help her daughter, Poppy, who has also been diagnosed with ADHD. Determined to support other women like her, Nicola launched Noops, a supplement brand aimed at managing ADHD symptoms. She spent 18 months working with scientists to develop the gluten-free and vegan supplement designed to support brain health, energy, mood, focus and sleep. 'I didn't want more chemical medication. But the supplement market was overwhelming. So I created what I wished had existed,' says Nicola, who also runs digital consultancy, Belle Digital. Now 42, she lives a quieter life in Surrey with ex-footballer partner Simon - whom she reunited with 12 years after their split - and their daughter, Poppy, 16, as well as son Louis, five, who she had in another relationship. 'Simon and I found each other again and it's definitely where I'm meant to be.' Nicola no longer chases the limelight - she chases meaning. 'Celebrity life wasn't good for my mental health. It made me feel desperate, and I never want to feel like that again,' she says. View this post on Instagram A post shared by noops (@noopsnootropics) She dreams of launching a ADHD support network for women, to help others avoid the pain she endured silently for so long. And she has her sights set on taking Noops to America, as well as raising awareness about ADHD in girls. She explains: 'ADHD goes undiagnosed in girls because the traits are so different. In boys, we recognise the traits as being hyperactive and a naughty little boy, 'But little girls, it's so different. They are almost in a bubble, in a fairy bubble.' Today, Nicola isn't just a former model. She's a mother, a businesswoman, an ADHD advocate - and someone who has finally found peace in who she is. 'There were times I didn't want to be here anymore. But now I know - I was always worthy. I just needed to understand myself first.' WHAT IS ADHD? Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a behavioural condition defined by inattentiveness, hyperactivity and impulsiveness. It affects around five per cent of children in the US. Some 3.6 per cent of boys and 0.85 per cent of girls suffer in the UK. Symptoms typically appear at an early age and become more noticeable as a child grows. These can also include: Constant fidgeting Poor concentration Excessive movement or talking Acting without thinking Inability to deal with stress Little or no sense of danger Careless mistakes Mood swings Forgetfulness Difficulty organising tasks Continually starting new tasks before finishing old ones Inability to listen or carry out instructions Most cases are diagnosed between six and 12 years old. Adults can also suffer, but there is less research into this. ADHD's exact cause is unclear but is thought to involve genetic mutations that affect a person's brain function and structure. Premature babies and those with epilepsy or brain damage are more at risk. ADHD is also linked to anxiety, depression, insomnia, Tourette's and epilepsy. There is no cure. A combination of medication and therapy is usually recommended to relieve symptoms and make day-to-day life easier.

Love Island fans fume at show bosses for giving Shakira the 'villain edit' during the Grafties - after 'convincing' her to stay following emotional breakdown
Love Island fans have hit out at show bosses during Thursday's episode after they were left unimpressed by how Shakira Khan was given the 'villain edit'. Prior to the episode airing, It was reported that the 22-year-old threatened to quit the ITV2 dating show over the situation with Harry. A source told The Sun: 'She went to the beach hut and asked to leave the villa. 'The duty of care team were able to help her through her emotions and she decided to stay.' In the latest episode of the ITV show, the infamous Grafties returned - where contestants are shown clips on a big screen that either revive past drama or highlight hilarious moments that most of the villa hadn't seen before. The nominees for the Best Double Act award were Dejon and Helena, Toni and Shakira, and Helena and Meg. During the clips, Toni and Shakira were seen talking negatively about Meg, following movie night. After watching the gossip on the big screen, Meg said she felt that Shakira and Toni were 'fake to her face,' prompting Toni to fire back: 'So are you. You act like you never say a bad thing about anyone.' Next came Helena and Meg's clip, which, in contrast, highlighted their blossoming friendship in the villa. Toni and Shakira went on to win the award, with Shakira saying: 'We said what we said, it was after Movie Night. 'I don't know why it's so surprising, we had a scrap that night.' Fans are now calling out show bosses for giving Shakira the 'villain edit' during the game. They raged on X: 'If they hurt Shakira anymore I'm literally going to stay for the credits, note down each producers name and HUNT THEM DOWN,' 'The producers convincing Shakira to stay in the villa so she could get attacked at the grafties is just evil #LoveIsland,' 'The fact we've seen Shakira be so sad, open & vulnerable recently. And now the producers are gonna paint her out to be bad with the Grafties, and make her feel even worse :(( i don't wanna watch,' 'Look at the clip they used for Meg and Helena vs the one they used for Shakira and Toni, and tell me again with a straight face that there isn't a clear agenda,' 'Why are the producers giving Shakira and Toni this bad edit!' 'Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if Shakira ends up leaving after the Grafties give her a bad edit. Her mental health is really suffering,' MailOnline has contacted ITV bosses for comment. It comes after there was a wave of concern for Shakira's mental health, who fans said already appears 'emotionally drained' on the programme. Viewers penned on X: 'funny how love island preaches about mental health and how the public should go easy on the islanders only to THEMSELVES use the most amount of vids of shakira for the grafties to push the mean girl narrative and sent back in megan one of the buIIies', 'this princess deserved so much better. i hope she walks for her own mental health. shakira you are loved worldwide and are better than love island', 'Shakira is emotionally drained and not okay Love Island uk is responsible for her mental health the contestants the producers the therapists everyone', 'Really not keen on the production team for the constant shots thrown at shakira. We only see one hour of the whole day and it's clear she's down and not feeling herself. Where's the mental health team love island are so vocal about? #LoveIslandUK'. However others were quick to defend Shakira's decision, with tweets including: 'Shakira is so real that she's willing to leave the villa without a man or winning instead of faking it with Conor till the end, if anything we can be proud of her for staying true to herself but damn Harry?!? ''I do like him, I just don't like him enough'', you know what Shakira that's real;' ''I just wanna be single forever'' Shakira this is so real;' 'Well you can't say Shakira is a game-player! She could have faked it with Ty and Conor to get to the final and potentially win but looks like she dgaf about winning or getting to the final;' Shakira has always been so honest and upfront in her couples., she's a genuine sensitive girl who won't fake s**t for the sake of it. Love her so much;' One thing about Shakira she'll follow her heart no matter if she's favourite couple or not at the bottom;' 'Wait now I'm kinda glad Meg is back because it softens the blow and makes Shakira feel better;' MailOnline has contacted Love Island for comment. In recent days, Shakira has been in floods of tears and has persistently said she 'can't wait to leave the villa' following a rocky start to her journey with Harry Cooksley. During the episode Shakira shut down her short-lived romance with Conor Phillips after struggling to get over her feelings for Harry. Last week, Shakira broke down in tears after a heated row with Conor after Harrison said during the Couple Of Sorts game that she had deeper feelings for Harry - who she was paired with earlier in the series. She told Conor: 'It's been twisted and you've wanted to believe the boys straight away. It's ego and pride. Wake up, Conor. 'They're literally the biggest game-players here. When have I ever lied to you? Their argument leaves Shakira feeling upset and she goes to Toni and Yasmin for comfort.

Ellie Goulding, 38, flaunts her toned figure in an array of skimpy bikinis during Italian holiday amid new romance with actor, 28
Ellie Goulding left little to the imagination as she flaunted her toned figure in a series of sizzling bikini snaps during her sun-soaked holiday in Italy. The singer, 38, appears to be enjoying her summer after reportedly going public this week with actor Beau Minniear who is ten years her junior. According to The Sun Ellie and Beaum 28, debuted their romance as they attended the clash between Oleksandr Usyk and Daniel Dubois together at Wembley on Saturday night. And on Thursday, she sent temperatures soaring as she treated her Instagram followers to a smouldering photo dump. Kicking things off in a tiny black string bikini, Ellie turned heads as she lounged on a sunbed with a book before snapping a sultry selfie. She later slipped into a green two-piece to continue basking in the sunshine, showing off her toned abs and golden glow. In another eye-catching moment, Ellie posed with a coconut in hand while rocking a Fenty bikini. Rounding out the carousel, the pop star turned up the glam in stunning day outfits and mirror selfies. 'Carbs,' she penned alongside the post. Since the breakdown of her marriage to her younger husband Caspar Jopling, 33, with whom she shares son four-year-old son Arthur, Ellie has enjoyed a string of romances. According to The Sun Ellie is thought to have met actor Beau- who has a string of small acting parts in TV and film in the US - earlier this year. Last week she reportedly teased a romance with him with a cryptic TikTok video posted to her socials. The publication claims she shared a clip stroking a man's arm, with the caption: 'Just a little something to take the edge off.' The video is no longer on her TikTok account. Her fans reportedly noticed that the watch the man was wearing in the clip matched one Beau regularly wears in Instagram snaps. They also reportedly noticed they both posted photos last week from the same hotel in Florence - before attending the boxing match together. A source told the publication: 'Ellie is into Beau and they have a lot of shared interests like exercise and art. 'They've been having fun together and they certainly make for an attractive couple.' A representative for Ellie has been contacted by MailOnline for comment. The star previously dated hunky surf instructor Armando Perez, 29, who she sought comfort with following the breakdown of her marriage. They met in late 2023 in Costa Rica where the songstress had rented a swanky villa with pals after secretly separating from her partner after five years. Ellie and Armando were first introduced when he gave her surf lessons, after previously teaching Shakira, 48, before pictures emerged of them passionately kissing and she was forced to confirm publicly that her marriage was over. The hunk and his brother Gero run the $70-a-night La Puente Surfhouse and hostel on the west coast of the Central American paradise. Ellie made numerous trips from her home in the UK to Costa Rica over the following months which she documented on Instagram, including a string of stunning bikini snaps. According to the El Observador newspaper, she made this trip as many as six times over just five months, typically staying a week at a time, sometimes longer. With the couple enjoying further private lessons, as well as shopping trips and dinner dates. An Insider told The Sun at the time: 'Ellie and Armando seemed very into each other. When Armando wasn't teaching Ellie, he couldn't keep his hands off her and pulled her in for a hug and a kiss'. 'Ellie looked blissfully happy and was laughing and joking with him as they messed around in the sea.' Antonio is also believed to have also visited Ellie in London on at least one occasion, reportedly watching her perform to a live crowd from backstage. One friend said: 'Amando and Ellie were very attracted to one another. Despite the age gap, they struck up an instant chemistry when he gave her private surfing lessons. The star previously dated hunky surf instructor Armando Perez, 29, (pictured L) who she sought comfort with following the breakdown of her marriage. 'They soon formed a bond and loved spending time together - Ellie loved hanging out on the beach with Armando to get away from everything that was going on back home after her marriage had come to an end. [Armando was used to spending his days instructing in the water and running around barefoot in swim shorts, and was more comfortable enjoying his 'quiet life' without the 'drama' of being in the public eye, the source added. 'They had a very special time together and she visited the country a lot. 'But they are from very different backgrounds. She is a big pop star from England while Armando's whole life is based here in Playa Hermosa. He loves it here and I doubt he would have any plans to leave. 'Their lives are very different and so it was natural for them both to eventually move on. But they still remain great friends.' Ellie and her art dealer ex Caspar were reportedly living separate lives for at least six months before announcing their split, despite trying to work things out for the sake of their son. They married in August 2019 at York Minster with A-list guests including Sienna Miller, Orlando Bloom and Katy Perry. Their split was first rumoured in June 2023, when sources claimed they were 'living apart'. After weeks of discussions about how they would reveal their separation, the pop star's team finally revealed they had been spending time apart - blaming their 'hectic schedules' for the demise of their marriage.
