Eamonn had previously offered a rare glimpse into his personal grief in October, when he shared a black and white photograph of his parents on Instagram.<\/p>\n

The image showed his mother Josie and father Leonard as a young couple, prompting Holmes to ask followers which parent he most resembled.<\/p>\n

“Although they have both passed away, I hear each of them in my head every day,” he reflected. “I know what they would think and how they would advise me. When they would agree with me and when they wouldn’t.”<\/p>\n

The broadcaster emphasised that laughter had been central to family life thanks to his parents.<\/p>\n

He concluded the emotional post by writing: “What a void they have left,” accompanied by a sad face emoji.<\/p>\n

Holmes celebrated his 66th birthday on 3 December, just one day before his late mother’s birthday would have fallen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"GB News presenter Eamonn Holmes took to Instagram on Christmas Eve to share a heartwarming family photograph with…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":335316,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[6491,830,5909,96,759,2331,391,56,54,55],"class_list":{"0":"post-335315","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-celebrities","8":"tag-celebrities","9":"tag-celebrity","10":"tag-eamonn-holmes","11":"tag-entertainment","12":"tag-presenters","13":"tag-sgg","14":"tag-tv","15":"tag-uk","16":"tag-united-kingdom","17":"tag-unitedkingdom"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/335315","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=335315"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/335315\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/335316"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=335315"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=335315"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=335315"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
