According to reports, there was a huge offer on the table for Eamonn Holmes from Celebrity Big Brother bosses to appear on the popular ITV show. The iconic house has previously been home to stars such as Louis Walsh, Sharon Osbourne, Fern Britton, and Nikita Kuzmin. With Eamonn's recent split from his wife of 14 years, Ruth Langsford, he was at the top of the list for the next season.
It's been a challenging year for Eamonn, who has faced health issues and mobility struggles. He recently shared that he is not doing well and is on "borrowed time." He also revealed that he can no longer take care of himself. However, he has found love with his new girlfriend Katie Alexander, who reportedly wants to support him through his health battles. The couple has even been spotted together on a luxury cruise.
It has been reported that Eamonn's decision to turn down Celebrity Big Brother was due to his desire to spend more time with Katie. A source revealed that Eamonn was approached with a substantial six-figure offer, but after considering the logistics of navigating the house with his wheelchair, he didn't feel confident that he would have the support he needed. He also didn't want to be away from Katie for an extended period.
This news comes after Eamonn shared that he is now reliant on a wheelchair and other people's help. He mentioned this while discussing travel issues over the holidays on GB News last week. Eamonn had slipped three discs in his back in 2021, which caused him to lose mobility. He then had spinal surgery the following year, which kept him off air for four months. He also suffered a major setback when he fell down the stairs and injured his shoulder.
In a previous interview, Eamonn had expressed that he was on "borrowed time" and was not doing well. He also shared that he had to rely on carers to help him with even the simplest tasks. Eamonn's team and ITV have been approached for comment on the Celebrity Big Brother offer. The show is available to watch on ITVX.
