Eamonn Holmes arrives for TRIC Awards, but does Holly Willoughby risk an awkward confrontation?
The 2023 TRIC Awards welcomed a host of Britain’s best-known TV stars to Park Lane’s Grosvenor House on Tuesday.
Eamonn Holmes, who suffers from chronic back pain, hit the pink carpet with the help of two canes.
Holly Willoughby has previously attended the star-studded awards, but will not be attending after Tuesday after finishing her ITV show, This Morning – even though the show is up for the Daytime award.
A source told MailOnline that she had “previous commitments” but she certainly didn’t want to risk an awkward confrontation with Eamonn, who took issue with her following the departure of her co-presenter Phillip Schofield.
The 63-year-old presenter, who co-hosted This Morning with his wife Ruth Langsford, has not failed to speak out after working for ITV – following Schofield’s admission of an affair with a much younger colleague.
