According to recent reports, Eamonn Holmes is catching the attention of Celebrity Big Brother producers. It seems that they are planning to make him an offer he can't refuse - a whopping £250,000 - to appear on the popular reality show.
It's no surprise that the show's bosses are interested in Eamonn, considering the success of this year's season which featured big names like Fern Britton, Nikita Kuzmin, Sharon Osbourne, and Louis Walsh. In fact, David Potts ended up taking home the grand prize. So it's no wonder they want to continue pulling in big names for future seasons.
This news comes amidst Eamonn's recent split from his wife of 14 years, Ruth Langsford. The couple, who are both well-known TV personalities, announced their decision to divorce last month. Sources claim that their busy work schedules have caused them to drift apart, and they have remained relatively quiet about the details of their split. Eamonn has returned to his presenting duties, while Ruth has taken a break from her role on Loose Women.
With all of these changes happening in Eamonn's life, it is now being reported that he is at the top of the list for Celebrity Big Brother. An insider revealed, "Celebrity Big Brother bookers are drawing up a wish list of contestants and Eamonn is on it. They would love for him to take part as he'd be such a popular housemate." They also mentioned that Eamonn's health concerns will be taken into consideration, and that he will be well taken care of while in the house.
In fact, the offer being made to Eamonn is quite substantial - a six-figure sum of around £250,000. This is a significant amount that could potentially sway his decision to join the show. The source also mentioned that Eamonn has been wanted for Celebrity Big Brother in the past but has always declined the offer. However, given his recent split and financial struggles, the producers are hoping he will change his mind.
Eamonn has been open about his health struggles in the past, and in recent months he has been seen using a walking frame due to chronic pain and back issues. In 2021, he underwent spinal surgery which left him off air for several months. His wife Ruth has also spoken about his health, stating, "I don't know how much Eamonn's mobility will improve. We live in hope."
It's no secret that the couple has faced their fair share of challenges, but they have always managed to handle them as a family. In 2018, there were rumors that Eamonn turned down a whopping £800,000 to appear on Celebrity Big Brother. However, he has denied these claims, stating, "The words you will never hear from my lips are: 'I don't need the money'." He also mentioned that Ruth doesn't allow him to do it, jokingly adding, "No, I just think they'd have you in your pants snoring."
As of now, ITV and Eamonn's representatives have not commented on the situation. But one thing is for sure - Celebrity Big Brother is always looking for big names to join their show, and Eamonn Holmes could be their next target.
