However, The Sun can reveal that the production firm has racked up a six figure debt.

Figures uploaded to Companies House this week show the firm is £22,850 in the red for 2024 – following a £18,000 surplus last year.

Annual accounts show the GB News host has creditors of almost £150,000 to pay.

In addition, he also had a Corporation Tax rebate of £39,173 paid by HMRC.

Eamonn has assets that make up some of the shortfall, which is why the firm is £20k+ in the red once that’s taken into account.

The Sun has approached Eamonn’s rep for comment.

The former This Morning host – who split from wife Ruth Langsford a year ago – continues to work despite a worsening health condition.

The 65-year-old has been experiencing ongoing health issues, including chronic back pain – which he’s attributed to slipped discs and a 2022 spinal surgery.

Eamonn has also spoken about difficulties walking and reliance on a walking frame or wheelchair.

He’s also struggled with shingles and has talked about experiencing difficulty seeing, even with his reading glasses.


Last month he said he was in pain, “even when the sun shines”.

Sharing a selfie on Instagram, he penned: “Even when the sun shines there’s pain.

“Sometimes I feel I’ll never beat this disc immobility but I’m determined to have a life.

“So pray for me, help me or get out of the way social media haters.”

He is now in a relationship with Yorkshire counsellor Katie Alexander, 43.

Ruth and Eamonn’s relationship timeline

Before the shock split announcement, Ruth and Eamonn seemed like one of the strongest couples on UK TV – even with their signature bickering style.

Here’s how their romance played out…

1997-2002 – To be respectful to Gabrielle, the couple kept their relationship out of the limelight. Ruth told Daily Mail: “I thought it spoke volumes about the sort of man he was, the sort of father he was and the integrity he had. It made me love him more, not less.”
