Eamonn Holmes girlfriend 'flashes huge ring' as they 'plan to marry'

GB News presenter Eamonn Holmes is reportedly planning to marry his counsellor girlfriend following his split from Loose Women presenter Ruth Langsford earlier this year.

The couple announced their split in May with Eamonn striking up a relationship with 43-year-old Katie shortly afterwards. However the pair only went public in November when they attended the Irish Post Awards, which was their first public event together.

An insider revealed to the Mirror: "While Eamonn waited for the ceremony to begin he enjoyed his dinner in the company of his new girlfriend Katie. The pair seemed relaxed and were inseparable."

They recently enjoyed a romatic winter break in Paris and while there Katie was seen wearing a sparkling ring on her engagement finger sparking speculation Eamonn had proposed.

Just a week prior to this they were spotted at a West London carol concert with no ring in sight on Katie's hand.

“Eamonn has been talking openly about his plans to marry Katie and has made it clear he wants to spend the rest of his life with her," a source reportedly told the the Sun.

“They’re already living together and he knows it feels right. They have a very strong connection and get on very well."

The source added Katie has given Eamonn a "real lust for life" and that she looks after him.

Express.co.uk has contacted representatives for Eamonn Holmes for comment.

This latest development comes after Eamonn opened up about his challenging year which has seen him deal with serious health issues alongside his split.

The veteran broadcaster has had a series of health issues, and has recently been seen using of a wheelchair and posted candid social media posts about his efforts to attain better mobility following back issues.

Eamonn shared with The Sun: "It's been a tough year and I'll be glad to see the back of it."

He continued optimistically: "But there are lots of things to be grateful for and I hope that my health improves next year."
