EAMONN Holmes has more romantic holidays with his new girlfriend Katie Alexander planned – just weeks after returning from their luxury cruise.

Presenter Eamonn, 64, hit headlines earlier this month after being spotted setting off for the luxury vessel with relationship counsellor Katie, 42.

The former This Morning host, who shocked the nation with his split from Ruth Langsford, also 64, this year, was seen in an electric wheelchair at Heathrow Airport alongside his glam partner.

With a new lease of life after his separation, he and Katie were preparing to fly to Barcelona to board Virgin Voyager’s luxurious Scarlet Lady.

And it seems the pair had such a blast that they want to do it all over again, and again.

Eamonn doesn’t appear to have made any secret of his plans, with The Sun learning he’s told many of his GB News colleagues about what they’ve got in the pipeline.

It’s also emerged that Ruth’s aversion to travelling was just one of the many reasons they grew apart over time.

One told us: “Eamonn’s lined up lots more cruises with Katie for the near future. It’s become something they’re both really looking forward to.

“Katie absolutely loves cruises and Eamonn used to say that Ruth was never one for travel. She didn’t enjoy going away and never liked going on a boat or a plane.

“It became a bit of a sticking point between them as Eamonn has always had a passion for exploring new places.

“Now, with Katie, Eamonn feels he can really embrace that side of life again. He’s eager to make up for the years he felt he missed out on.”

Eamonn’s representative has been contacted for comment.

TV anchor Eamonn has been plagued by a series of health setbacks in recent years.

He had a double hip replacement in 2016. Last year, he had back surgery which has left him using a wheelchair.

And in January he broke his shoulder in a fall. Four months later we revealed he had split with Loose Women panellist Ruth.

She has confided to her closest friends that there was “no way back” for the marriage.

Divorcee Katie, a mother of three, struck up a friendship with Eamonn via Twitter back in 2015.

Her counselling specialities include “affairs and betrayals” as well as “separation and divorce”.

She has left her home in Huddersfield, West Yorks, to drive four and a half hours to Eamonn’s luxury pad in Kingston, South West London, nearly every weekend.

Their romantic cruise is not their first holiday together, despite only confirming their relationship in recent weeks.

Last month, we told how Northern Irishman Eamonn took Katie away for a romantic trip to Belfast.

We also revealed how Katie sported a shiny new ring on her engagement finger.

Ruth and Eamonn’s relationship timeline

Before the shock split announcement, Ruth and Eamonn seemed like one of the strongest couples on UK TV – even with their signature bickering style.

September 2024 – Eamonn was spotted on a luxury holiday in Barcelona with his new girlfriend Katie Alexander. Ruth calls in a ‘fierce’ divorce lawyer.
