In a heartwarming festive post, GB News star Eamonn Holmes has shared a rare glimpse into his family life, honouring the memory of his late mother, Josephine, during the Christmas season.
The North Belfast broadcaster took to Instagram to post an emotional video from his mother’s 90th birthday party, showcasing a poignant performance by Fame Academy star Malachi Cush.
In the clip, Malachi serenades Eamonn and his mother with the classic tune Blanket on the Ground, famously performed by fellow Co Tyrone native Philomena Begley.
Josephine, who passed away in November 2022 aged 93, left a profound mark on Eamonn’s life. The presenter has previously spoken about the heartbreak of being unable to attend her funeral due to his ongoing health battles.
Sharing the touching memory with his followers, Eamonn wrote: “Good Old Christmas Sing Song for my mum in Belfast. She passed away 3 years ago and this was for her 90th. One of her favourite songs performed by @malachicushmusic.”
Fans flocked to the comments to offer their support, with one writing how they “missed seeing him on TV.” Eamonn took the opportunity to reassure fans, revealing that he will make his much-anticipated return to screens next Monday.
