Eamonn Holmes, 63, reveals his baby joy as he becomes a grandad again after son Declan welcomes a little girl
EAMONN Holmes has revealed he’s become a grandad for the second time.
The proud broadcaster, 63, announced the happy news on Twitter today.
He wrote: “Just became a Grandpa for the second time at 10 am this morning . Another Grand daughter from Jenny and Declan.”
The former Good Morning Britain star added that his family were “blessed, relieved and happy.”
The TV veteran was inundated with well-wishes.
One follower wrote: “What lovely news Eamonn – and congratulations Jenny & Declan.”
Another said: “Welcome to the world little one x Congratulations to all!”
A third shared: “Aww, congratulations, Eamonn – how lovely for you all.”
Declan and Jenny’s first child, daughter Amelia, was born in 2001 weighing 7lbs and 6 ounces.
Speaking about the arrival to wife Ruth Langsford on This Morning, an emotional Eamonn said: “I was so not ready for this.”
“I’m very, very happy, little Amelia!”
The latest baby news has lifted Eamonn’s spirits after a tough year of debilitating health issues.
Last October, the TV presenter underwent an operation on his back after suffering from severe chronic pain.
However, only two weeks into his recovery he suffered a dramatic fall down the stairs at his mansion in Weybridge, Surrey, where his wife Ruth was forced to call for medical help.
Eamonn gave fans a health update on his GB News breakfast show in September.
Speaking to his guest Tim Franklin, the former Sky News Sunrise host remarked: “I can’t run, I can’t walk, I can’t do anything except watch TV and eat.
“I just got problems last year in my back, which I haven’t recovered from. It’s not good, it’s not a good recipe I have to say.
Turning to the panellist, he hinted that he struggles to build the energy to heal as he remarked: “You are a good motivation for all of us.
“What would you say to people out there who just have not got that motivation?”
