Eamonn Holmes and his girlfriend Katie Alexander made their red carpet debut together on Saturday after it was revealed the honeymoon phase of their relationship had come to an end.

The age gap couple were all smiles as they on the carpet for the Icon Awards, which took place at the Troxy in the east end of London.

Eamonn, 65, who has been plagued with health issues in recent years after spinal surgery in 2022, used an electric wheelchair at the venue.

He looked dapper in a black suit with a white polka dot tie for the lavish night out, where he scooped the lifetime achievement gong.

Standing proudly beside him was girlfriend Katie, 43, who wore a tailored black blazer with rolled-up sleeves.

The marriage counsellor completed her look with a floor-length skirt that was sheer at the bottom and a black scarf that was wrapped around her neck.

Another snap of the couple at their table showed Eamonn beaming for the cameras as he stuck to water for the event.

Other stars snapped included Lizzie Cundy, Denise Welch and actor Tamer Hassan.

There was also a rare appearance from Britain’s Got Talent star Susan Boyle who was all smiles on the red carpet. 

Eamonn and Katie’s outing comes after the Daily Mail revealed how real life has kicked in for the pair, who have previously enjoyed lavish holidays including a cruise around the Mediterranean. 

One friend suggested their romance is ‘struggling’ to Consultant Editor Katie Kind, saying: ‘Let’s just say the honeymoon period looks like it is very much at its end.’

They continued: ‘He’s grumpier than ever and his health problems [he has chronic back pain] really aren’t helping but, instead of moving closer to Katie and settling, he’s spending more time with his family in Belfast, often without her.

‘The lavish gifts and the swanky holidays don’t seem to have made him any happier

That sentiment was echoed by some of Eamonn’s colleagues at GB News, who describe him as ‘very, very moany’ – with one saying he’s ‘a miserable goat even on a good day’.

‘He goes into GB News in the morning, and he moans and moans,’ the colleague said. 

‘It seems to be fizzling out for him. He is very low – the only thing that cheers him is going to work, he loves working.’  

Daily Mail previously exclusively revealed that the broadcaster and father-of-four had had a terrible falling-out with Niall, 32, the youngest of his three children with first wife Gabrielle.

And more devastatingly, Niall has sided with his stepmother Ruth over his own father, following the couple’s split.

It’s also understood that Jack, 23, the son Eamonn and Ruth have together, has sided with his mother.

Eamonn is also father to son Declan, 36, and daughter Rebecca, 34, from his first marriage, and is believed to still be close with both of them.  

Ruth and Eamonn announced a year ago that they were to part divorce after 27 years as a couple, and 14 years of marriage.

Britain’s Got Talent legend Susan Boyle also made a rare red carpet appearance for the event

It was previously reported Eamonn and Katie were first in touch 12 years ago, when it’s claimed they exchanged flirty messages.

It’s suggested that, in the year before their split, Ruth learned Eamonn had been showering Katie with gifts.

However, both Eamonn and Katie, who was also married, insist nothing went on until both their marriages ended.

The fact they are still together is said to have ‘gone down like a lead balloon’ with Eamonn’s family.
