Eamonn Holmes was still wearing his wedding ring as he took on an extra work shift this weekend.
The Irish broadcaster, 64, who usually hosts on a weekday, made a surprise appearance to the Sunday TV schedule as he appeared next to Anne Diamond on GB News.
The presenter shared a picture to his Instagram of the two of them together and captioned the post: ‘Called into present extra this morning and what a pleasure it turned out to be with the legend that is Anne Diamond .
‘Great response from you on a lot of the subjects we covered. See u in the Morning!’
As he smiled for the camera, he was flooded with support from fans saying the two worked well together and their segment was enjoyable to watch.
However some eagle eyed fans noticed Eamonn was still wearing his wedding ring on his hand, despite the ongoing divorce with Loose Women presenter and wife Ruth Langsford.

It was announced in May that Eamonn and Ruth Langsford would be going their separate ways following a 27 year relationship and 14 years of marriage
Comments included: ‘He’s still wearing his wedding ring’ and ‘that’s what I was thinking!! Glad somebody noticed apart for myself!!’ with another confirming: ‘Saw it live this morning, this photo is from then. Noticed the wedding ring earlier this week’.
It was announced the couple were going their separate ways in May following a 27 year relationship and 14 years of marriage.
It comes after Eamonn shared an Instagram post earlier this month saying it’s ‘hard to stand up but next my aim is to walk’ amid his ongoing health struggles.
He attended the TRIC Awards in June, using a zimmer frame to walk as he accepted the accolade for Best Breakfast Show for his morning slot on GB News.
The broadcaster has been suffering with chronic back pain for years but his condition worsened following an unsuccessful operation and he now struggles to walk unaided.
A year after his spinal surgery, Eamonn underwent a spine and neck stretching procedure in September 2023 after admitting he ‘couldn’t walk’.
Eamonn admitted he ‘hadn’t recovered’ from his back surgery, confessing: ‘I can’t run, I can’t walk, I can’t do anything except watch TV and eat.’
He explained: ‘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.’
It has been reported that Eamonn is being consoled amid his split from Ruth by divorcee mother of three, Katie Alexander, 42, who’s 22 years his junior.
He has been spending time with the counsellor in recent weeks with sources saying she hopes their closeness can grow into a long-term relationship.
