Eamonn Holmes is the anchor of Sky News Sunrise from 06.00 – 09.00am Monday - Thursday.
 
He has interviewed many senior politicians and big names in politics, sport and entertainment — from the Prime Minister to The Hoff — and has anchored Sunrise from locations outside the studio covering events from the volcanic ash cloud to the Royal Wedding of Prince William and Catherine Middleton.
 
Eamonn’s reign as the king of breakfast television stems back to the launch of GMTV in 1993, which he presented for 13 years. His journalistic career spans 30 years and he is the longest-serving breakfast television anchorman in Britain. Outside of his early starts, he continues to host a wide variety of programmes on both TV and radio including ITV1’s This Morning alongside his wife Ruth Langsford.
 
He has presented top-rated, primetime quiz shows including The National Lottery Jet Set for BBC1,
Sudo-Q for BBC Two and The Rich List for Fox TV in America. He has also presented sports events at the highest level for the BBC and ITV including Snooker, Darts, Tennis, Horseracing, Golf and Bowls.
 
He has won the Television, Radio & Industry Club’s award for Best Satellite and Digital TV Personality for four years running and has received honorary doctorates from Queen’s University Belfast and Staffordshire University.
 
Father of four, Eamonn is a news and sports junkie and a passionate Manchester United fan but more than that, he has a great knowledge and love of soccer, as well as several other sports. He divides his time between Belfast, where he lives, London, where he works, and Manchester, where he worships!
