TV host Eamonn Holmes, who is appearing on The Chase Celebrity Special today (February 15), previously paid tribute to his parents in an emotional post.
The former This Morning presenter used to host the ITV daytime show alongside his ex-wife, Ruth Langsford, before the pair split in 2024.
However, before their divorce, Eamonn had always moved to GB News to front its breakfast programme alongside Isabel Webster in 2022.

Eamonn Holmes in emotional tribute to parents
In October, Eamonn shared a black-and-white image of his parents smiling. His dad, Leonard, died of a heart attack at age 64 in the early 1990s.
Meanwhile, his mum, Josie, passed away in 2022, aged 93.
“Who do u think I look more like – my Mum or my Dad? Josie or Leonard?” he asked in his caption.
“Although they have both passed away, I hear each of them in my head every day. I know what they would think and how they would advise mum.”
“When they would agree with me and when they wouldn’t. Laughter was a big part of all of our lives because of them. What a void they have left,” he continued, adding a sad face emoji.
