It’s no secret that Eamonn Holmes has been struggling with his health lately, but he has been hiding the reason behind it – a stressful legal battle that could dent his finances. His well being is already a source of concern, and the broadcaster himself has admitted, ‘I just can’t remember the last time I had a relaxing, restorative sleep.’ This latest battle is a worry for friends and family, who fear it’s taking a serious toll on him.

THE TRUTH

After three decades in the business, Eamonn, who turns 59 next month, has revealed that he’s in the middle of a legal war with HmRC and could face a tax bill of up to £2million. no small change for most. The This Morning presenter, who earns a freelance salary from ITV, is paid through his limited company – meaning he pays less tax. while, on the surface, this may not seem like a massive problem, given his success and inevitable financial status, in reality – no matter his worth – it’s a challenging and worrying time. The case will almost certainly be causing the TV star a lot of distress, and be having an impact on his everyday life.
