In a delightful holiday escape, Eamonn Holmes and his partner Katie Alexander indulged in a luxurious Christmas retreat at the charming Rudding Park Hotel, nestled in Harrogate, North Yorkshire.

The 66-year-old GB presenter was photographed on Boxing Day, receiving a helping hand from Katie, aged 43, as he exited their vehicle outside the £317-a-night holiday cottage.

Embracing the festive spirit, Katie sported a cheerful red jumper layered over a red and white striped shirt, paired with classic blue jeans. To complete her holiday look, she donned stylish sunglasses, offering a touch of glamour while assisting Eamonn with his walker as they made their way indoors.

Earlier, on Christmas Eve, Katie showcased her flair for fashion in a chic denim dress, accentuated by knee-high black leather boots, bringing a trendy edge to their festive celebrations.

Joining the couple for this northern retreat were Katie’s three children and their beloved pet dog, adding a warm family atmosphere to their holiday getaway.

Rudding Park offers a range of accommodation, including a range of cottages featuring open plan living areas, hot tubs and wood burning stoves. 

The most expensive cottage, Gardeners Cottage, costs £481 per night and boasts three double bedrooms, two ensuites, a private garden and a hot tub. 

Meanwhile the park offers a spa, three restaurants, a private cinema and two golf courses as well as 300 acres of landscaped gardens and woodland. 

Eamonn and Katie were last seen together looking smitten as they arrived for the annual Television and Radio Industries Club (TRIC) Christmas Lunch earlier this month. 

It comes after GB News viewers were left fuming over Eamonn’s ‘unprofessional’ habit, which they claim drove them to switch off.

During Tuesday’s segment which he presented alongside Penny Smith, the duo discussed the latest headlines – but fans were left unimpressed by something else.

Eamonn and Penny were chatting to commentator Oscar Reddrop, where they shared their thoughts about Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood’s latest move.

The politician, 45, recently scrapped non-hate crime incidents, which she spoke about on the panel.

Eamonn and his girlfriend were last seen together at the TRIC Awards earlier this month 

The segment appeared on a split screen, with some of the footage being out of focus.

However in the corner, viewers were left distracted by Eamonn and his bizarre habit as he was seen eating during the segment.

Taking to X to share their frustration, one person wrote: ‘Eamonn Holmes needs to go home instead of sharing his germs.’

Another wrote: ‘If Holmes stopped stuffing his face, he wouldn’t keep coughing and spluttering everywhere – so unprofessional.’

A third commented: ‘Why is Holmes allowed to stuff himself live on TV? So bl**dy unprofessional.’

A fourth viciously penned: ‘Eamonn, it doesn’t look good when the crumbs from the Greggs sausage roll are falling down your suit.’

At the start of December Eamonn said he wished his ex-wife Ruth Langsford ‘all the best’ in a Christmas message following their divorce.

The TV presenters, who had been together for 27 years but married for 14, ended their relationship in June 2024.

Eamonn quickly moved on to date relationship counsellor Katie Alexander, who is 22 years his junior.

The broadcaster has suffered from long-term difficulties, previously telling of his battle with chronic back pain after a dislocated pelvis led to three slipped discs

In September 2022, Eamonn was forced to step away from his GB news show as he underwent vital back surgery to aid his chronic back pain

Following his surgery, he revealed that despite physiotherapy, he continues to find his lack of mobility stops him from doing simple things and is forced to rely on others, which he described as ‘soul destroying’

Eamonn quickly moved on to date relationship counsellor Katie, who is 22 years his junior, after his split from wife Ruth Langsford

He previously explained he would be spending Christmas with Katie this year 

The former couple and co-stars have largely avoided speaking about each other following their split, but Eamonn has now shared a sweet message for Ruth.

Making a peace offering, Eamonn said: ‘I wish Ruth all the best, she deserves it.’

Speaking at this year’s TRIC Awards last Friday, he also shared his Christmas and New Years plans.

Eamonn added to The Sun: ‘I’m going to be with Katie this Christmas.

‘I’ve never not been in the UK for Christmas, but maybe one year I’ll go away abroad.’

Eamonn added that he hopes to be able to walk in the park with his frame and crutches as he prepares undergo revolutionary pig cell treatment which is hoped will return movement to his legs.

Ruth, 65, shares son Jack, 23, with the GB News presenter, who has three older children from his first marriage.
