Eamonn Holmes reveals surprise transformation after going public with new girlfriend
EAMONN Holmes has left fans in stitches with a “stunning” new look – after heading to his first public event with his new girlfriend.
The GB News anchor – who split from Ruth Langsford, 64, in May – uploaded a striking snap to his Instagram page in which he joked he wasn’t “looking himself.”
Eamonn, 64, was seen channelling a Donald Trump-style look with glowing bronze skin and a swept-back hairstyle.
He posed in a blue suit, white shirt and red tie at a table – mimicking a look struck by the POTUS at the White House – who won a second term in office in this week’s Presidential Elections.
The former This Morning anchor stared into space for the single image posted to his social media page with the words: “Got some new publicity pics …
“I’m just not looking myself in these am I?”
One fan was quick to gush: “Love this.”
A second put: “Omg this is too good.”
A third then quipped: “I think you look stunning the tan is the best.”
One then suggested: “Hey Eamonn, Trump impersonations could be a side hustle hahah wonderful.”
Yet another exclaimed: “Why the f**k would you do that???”

Eamonn and ex Ruth Langsford, who share son Jack, shocked fans in May when they revealed their divorce after announcing they were “going in different directions.”
Previously, their eagle-eyed followers thought they had pinpointed the signs of their break-up, which included a lack of social media snaps together.
In September, he was seen on holiday with his new girlfriend Katie, 42, in Spain – with pictures capturing him putting his hand on the marriage counsellor’s bum.
After a slew of criticism, the Northern Irish broadcaster then reacted.
This week, Katie – who has hailed Eamonn as her “soulmate” – stepped out with her man in their first public event.
They attended The Irish Post Awards following the brutal split with his Loose Women ex-wife after 14 years – but with a ban on posing for any red carpet pictures together.
