It seems Eamonn Holmes has faced another knock due to the cancellation of his live show.

The former This Morning host, 65, was due to front his first-ever live stage event this month, alongside Paul Coyte.

Titled Things We Like!, the evening was scheduled for March 11. However, it didn’t go ahead.

It was due to mark the beginning of a nationwide tour for the pair, but it has now emerged that the run of dates has been scrapped due to poor ticket sales.

A source told The Sun: ‘Eamonn was really looking forward to the show.

‘He loves interacting with the public and meeting fans. But ticket sales just weren’t there.’

They added: ‘It’s been a tough time for him personally, and this is another disappointment to deal with.’

Eamonn and fellow GB News personality Paul revealed their plans for a live podcast tour in December.

The shows were set to begin in Radlett, Hertfordshire, with tickets priced at £40 and offering a chance to meet Eamonn backstage.

Promoting the show on his Instagram, which boasts 780k followers, Eamonn wrote late last year: ‘Coming your way soon and in theatres around the Country. Maybe the perfect last minute Christmas gift’.

The comments section generated plenty of buzz—alas, not enough to generate a profit—as fans hailed Eamonn and Paul as a ‘perfect duo’.

Just last week, the Irish broadcaster returned to social media to reveal the plans had been majorly diluted.

‘Working with my mates @Coytey67 and Deano on our soon to be released podcast/ videocast Things we Like today [sic]’, he wrote.

‘Hoping you like the same things. Will keep you posted re launch date’, Eamonn added.

The career blow comes after further details of his divorce from Ruth Langsford emerged, not exactly painting Eamonn in the best light.

He and the Loose Women star, 65, married in 2010. In May last year, it was confirmed they were separating as Eamonn moved out of their family home.

As both TV stars move on with their lives—Ruth is embracing singlehood while Eamonn is dating relationship counsellor Katie Alexander, 43—it’s been claimed he was unfaithful during their marriage.

Sources say Eamonn, with whom Ruth shares 22-year-old son Jack, was caught on the phone with another woman while unaware his wife was inside their Surrey home.

It’s believed he continued speaking to other women behind her back as, weeks later, Ruth allegedly discovered ‘intimate’ messages on their shared laptop.

A mole described the discovery as ‘a real kick in the teeth’ for Ruth, who has supported Eamonn throughout his health and mobility struggles.

The insider reckons the ‘awful experience’ was ultimately ‘the straw that broke the camel’s back as far as the marriage was concerned.’

Reps for Eamonn Holmes have been contacted for comment.
