EAMONN Holmes looked unrecognisable in a throwback pic with his two brothers.
The presenter, 61, shared the rare pic of his family from 1978 as the three lads were suited up for a wedding in their native Belfast.
Eamonn was just 18 in the vintage photo that showed him posing proudly alongside his brothers Leonard and Brian outside a church.
He posted the photo to Instagram after sharing a more recent snap of the brothers enjoying a pint on a cold day in Belfast.
Eamonn captioned the throwback pic: “See previous post…Same 3 brothers 1978 L-R Eamonn 18 , Leonard 22 , Brian 17.”
Eamonn has previously spoken about his brothers and has admitted that they are all “very close”.
He told the Guardian back in 2013: “Growing up, the lack of space meant we were like bear cubs or dogs that were always biting and nipping at each other, but not now.
“Today they are my best friends and that’s the same for all of us; we love each other’s company, we love being with each other, we indulge heavily in, what they call in Belfast, the banter or the craic.”
Eamonn’s throwback pic comes after his shocking news that he was quitting This Morning.
He will reportedly be joining ‘anti-woke’ GB News after coming under fire last year when he suggested there could be a link between 5G masts and the spread of killer disease coronavirus.
A source told The Mirror: “Eamonn’s move to GB News marks the end of an era.
“He’ll be missed by many ITV viewers but, the truth is, this job offer probably came at just the right moment for both him and ITV. All good things come to an end.”
It’s thought he will be fronting his own show on GB News ‘several times a week’ and is expected to start next year.
Eamonn and his wife Ruth Langsford were axed from their regular Friday slot on the show last year as part of a diversity drive, with Alison Hammond and Dermot O’Leary taking their place.
The couple had presented Friday’s episode of This Morning since 2006 – but after a shake-up they are now only called in during the school holidays when the main hosts have time off.
A TV insider had previously told The Celeb Report that Eamonn feared he was “too pale, stale and male” to remain a regular face on the show for much longer.
Last April Ofcom received over 400 complaints after Eamonn said that he believes there could be something to the claims linking 5G and coronavirus.
The host later clarified that he doesn’t believe the theory that 5G has caused coronavirus is valid, and was simply “looking for answers”, but his comments reportedly infuriated ITV bosses.
