Privacy NoticeEamonn Holmes has confessed that he felt like “punching” someone as he talked about his regrets – after his surprising split from Ruth Langsford. The pair, both 64, announced their separation in May. They previously presented This Morning together and were married for nearly 14 years, with news of their divorce leaving their fans in shock. Since his split from Ruth was made public, Eamonn has been keeping himself occupied by hosting the GB News breakfast show. He recently shared with viewers his ‘biggest regret’ after losing a prime job opportunity in the US. Reflecting on his impressive career as a presenter, the father-of-four revealed that he was offered a role as a quiz show host for Fox TV in America. He said: “They called me and I couldn’t believe it, and I went over to do a daytime version of it. And then three days into it, they changed everything and they said, this is so good, we’re putting this out in the evening.”

Remembering how he informed his wife about the need to relocate to the US, Eamonn continued: “I remember phoning my wife and saying, we’re going to have to move out to California, they really want me here. And I’m going down that street with all the palm trees. That’s the way I was going to work in this limo, and I had a bungalow there and a golf cart – it was absolutely incredible.”, reports the Mirror. Sadly, the job didn’t pan out, leading the host to express his “one regret” about how he handled the situation after being dropped from the show. Eamonn shared with GB News: “I really have one regret in my life, that I didn’t punch a guy when I was out there. If I had my life to live again, I would have really satisfyingly been sacked for punching this g*t. One episode of the show went out and it came fourth in its rating, so it was behind Lost, The Biggest Loser, and that was it, it disappeared. 36 shows or so disappeared, never to be shown again.”

Reflecting on his departure from America, Eamonn revealed only “one person” replied to his farewell email, leaving co-host Anne Diamond to comment: “That’s brutal! It was like you got a disease and no one wanted to catch it.” Eamonn was back at work at GB News on May 28, the day after his surprising split from Ruth was made public. Still sporting his wedding ring, he thanked viewers for their support, saying: “Just before we move on I would like to thank people for your support for Ruth and I over the last few days as to the news of our separation.” “Your support for both of us is very much appreciated.” Ruth, meanwhile, returned to Loose Women this week after extended leave from the ITV show.Story SavedYou can find this story in My Bookmarks.Or by navigating to the user icon in the top right.Follow OK!
