Eamonn Holmes has come under fire.
Back in May, it was revealed the 64-year-old GB News star had split from Ruth Langsford after 14 years of marriage and a 27-year relationship. He was recently holidaying in Europe with new girlfriend Katie Alexander, 42.
But he’s now been slammed for singing what some believe to be an “inappropriate song” in a video posted online. In the clip, shared on Instagram, Eamonn was seen hanging out with S Club 7 star Jo O’Meara.

The pair were singing Elvis Presley’s Blue Christmas while surrounded by Christmas decorations and presents. But fans weren’t happy with the choice of song and felt it was inappropriate given the presenter’s recent split from Ruth.

One commented: “Very inappropriate song very hurtful have some respect.” Another complained: “Maybe he’s trying to say something, it will be a blue Christmas without Ruth.”
A third added: “That’s a bit weird.” Eamonn was also seen posing for pictures with Hollywood star Kate Beckinsale.
It comes after it was claimed Eamonn’s cruise holiday with Katie Alexander was a “freebie”. Eamonn has become an ambassador for travel company Not Just Travel.

The seven-day trip started in Barcelona and headed to Toulon on the southern French coast to a scenic spot called Marina di Carrara, between Tuscany and Liguria. It finished in Civitavecchia, which is north of Rome.
A source told MailOnline: “While it looked like Eamonn had whisked Katie off on a no-expense-spared trip away, it didn’t actually cost him a penny. It was part of his deal with Not Just Travel so, if anything, he was actually paid to go – which was very fortuitous indeed, especially because he could take a plus one with him.

“There was an element of work. Eamonn had to film some segments to promote the company. But the fact he didn’t pay certainly lessens the whole idea it was a romantic trip away.
The travel insider added: “Katie didn’t seem to mind though. It was a lovely, sunny break for her as they enjoy their first throes of love.”
