The host recently reached out to ex wife Ruth following her mother’s health scare

TV presenter Eamonn Holmes is thought to have declined the offer of appearing on Celebrity Big Brother for an eye-watering sum – due to not wanting to be parted from his girlfriend.
GB News host Eamonn, 65, has reportedly been offered a six-figure deal to appear on the ITV show – but has turned it down because of his new partner Katie Alexander and his mobility issues.

The news anchor has been in a relationship with psychotherapist Katie Alexander, 43, following his split from Loose Women’s Ruth Langsford.
A source told The Mirror: “Eamonn was approached to do Celebrity Big Brother. He was flattered by the offer and it was a huge six-figure sum.
“After giving it some serious thought, he ultimately turned it down. The logistics of navigating the house and needing a wheelchair really concerned him and he didn’t feel confident that the support he’d need would be there.”
The source added: “Eamonn also values his time at home with his partner Katie, and being locked away from her for such a long period wasn’t something he could come to terms with.
“The producers were really keen to have Eamonn on the show, they saw him as a huge draw for viewers and were willing to pull out all the stops.
“With his controversial opinions he would made the perfect housemate.
“But Eamonn knows his limits, and the idea of being in such an unpredictable environment, without Katie and the support he relies on, made it a no-go.”
The insider added: “It was a tough decision for Eamonn because the financial offer was incredibly tempting, but he has to prioritise his health and mobility.
“Producers were desperate to have Eamonn involved and even tried to address some of his concerns.
“The money was astronomical, but for him, it’s not just about the pay cheque.

“The thought of being away from his partner and his home comforts didn’t feel worth the stress.”
Former This Morning anchor Eamonn and his ex wife Ruth have pushed for a “quickie divorce.”
The pair’s terms for their split have now come to light following their shock split earlier this year.
In May 2024, Ruth and Eamonn announced they had broken up after 14 years of marriage and a 27-year relationship.
The Sun On Sunday revealed Eamonn is keen to get engaged to new flame Katie Alexander once he’s thrashed out his divorce.
Bosses at the channel have secured a new home for the reboot in 2025 – and hosts AJ Odudu and Will Best will move with the show too.
According to TV insiders ITV bosses are trying to coax Tommy Fury into signing up for the huge reality show.
The boxer previously agreed to appear on this year’s series of I’m A Celeb but pulled out just weeks before filming started.
TV fave Paul Chuckle is in talks to appear in Celebrity Big Brother.
The veteran funnyman — best known for his “To me, to you” double act with late brother Barry — was lined up for the previous series before being bumped for Louis Walsh.
Amanda Abbington was approached to take part in the new series but turned it down due to her experiences on Strictly Come Dancing.
Producers of CBB wanted to sign her up for the new series, set to air next year on ITV, since she has been in the limelight recently and they hoped that she might open up on the murky chapter in Strictly’s history.
