Recently, Eamonn revealed his formula for maintaining a "happy relationship" during his GB News programme, explaining that political alignment with one's partner is crucial for him. Speaking with Ellie Costello about her spouse, he said: "Would his politics and would his views on things have influenced you in some way?" She replied: "Not initially, no, but we do have the same politics. I think it makes life easier if you do. What about you? What do you think?" Article continues below Eamonn agreed, adding that "any partners" he has ever had "think the same as me."

Eamonn Holmes unveils pricey new project as he faces off against Ruth in divorce

Telly's former golden couple have engaged high-powered lawyers as they seek to divide up their assets – with Eamonn having to stump a fortune for a rented flat away from his £3.6m former marital home in Surrey, where Ruth has remained. Now the 65-year-old GB host – dating marriage guidance counsellor Katie Alexander – is seeking to rake in some extra money to help cover the legal fees by taking to the stage.

The news anchor's newfound happiness with Katie, 43, comes after his ex Ruth, 65, reportedly brought in lawyers to make sure he would never get her share of their home. The divorcing Loose Women star has been granted a severance of joint tenancy of the six-bed pile they bought in 2014.

Eamonn recently shared his secret to a "happy relationship" while on GB News, saying that when it comes to politics, he likes to be on the same wavelength as his partner. During a chat with Ellie Costello about her husband, he asked: "Would his politics and would his views on things have influenced you in some way?" She responded: "Not initially, no, but we do have the same politics. I think it makes life easier if you do. What about you? What do you think?"

NFL insider reveals how Bengals possibly fumbled Trey Hendrickson saga
NFL insider reveals how Bengals possibly fumbled Trey Hendrickson saga Little by little, more continues to emerge about the standoff between the Cincinnati Bengals and disgruntled defensive end Trey Hendrickson. In the wake of the Bengals-Hendrickson beef going super public, one report offered up an insider's look at the situation. Now, another, courtesy of Ari Meirov on "The Spotlight" this Thursday. There, in short, Meirov says Hendrickson doesn't feel that the communication from the Bengals had been good enough. Meirov suggests he wants roughly in the $34-35 million per-year range and for it to be a true extension, not a one-year pact or multi-year deal laced with incentives. At least from this report, the Bengals haven't come close to the market rate in that range on offers just yet. That's not uncommon for a negotiation, though. What's unusual from this report is that the Bengals allegedly haven't engaged with Hendrickson through top names like Duke Tobin, Troy Blackburn, etc. While the big brass indeed handled contracts for Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins, it's apparently the second and third levels of the organization working on Hendrickson's situation. If true, that's simply not how the Bengals should be handling things when the conversation is the NFL's sack leader, an elite overall player and perhaps the best free-agent signing in franchise history. Maybe that changes now. But it should have never been the case and would certainly explain Hendrickson taking such issue with the word "respect" being thrown around recently.

Josh Gad gained 'closure' after reuniting with dad after 20 years
Josh Gad has told how he reunited with his dad after being estranged for 20 years. The actor, who is best known for voicing Olaf in Frozen, has reflected on how it felt to reconnect with his dad after so many years. "I hadn't seen (my dad) for 20 years, and he called me up," the 43-year-old said on SiriusXM's The Spotlight. "He was in New Jersey and said, 'I want to come see your show (Gutenberg!)' And I said, 'Okay, it's going to be on my terms.'" He recalled having a moment onstage when he thought to himself, "'Oh my God, I'm performing for the first time ever in front of my father.' Like, he never saw me. Even as a kid doing shows at school or in high school or in college or on Broadway, he had never seen me onstage. And that was kind of crazy - that at 42, it was the first time that I could share this experience." After the show, his dad visited his home, where they had at first "a very awkward sort of conversation." However, as the evening progressed, he felt better about the situation. "It was very cathartic," he shared. "I felt like I finally had closure that I didn't even know I needed. And it was amazing to have that opportunity to just sit with him, and we just talked." Josh, who has just released his memoir, In Gad We Trust: A Tell-Some, also revealed how his strained relationship with his dad has affected how he interacts with his own daughters, Isabella, 10, and Ava, 13. "What I do with them is I give them the opportunity to be as open with me as possible," he admitted. "I want them to talk to me. So a lot of times I'll talk taboo issues."
