Eamonn Holmes thrills fans with photo of rarely-seen lookalike son

TV star is helping his son prepare for his wedding

| Updated:

Eamonn Holmes flew to Ireland on Thursday to help his eldest son, Declan, research wedding venues.

And lucky for us, he couldn’t resist taking a snap of them together when they stopped off for a cheeky drink.

Proud dad Eamonn shared a selfie to social media showing him raising a glass while seated next to Declan, 28, at a pub.

He joked: “This researching Irish wedding venues for my big son is proving great craic.”

Fans were quick to comment on the resemblance between father and son.

One wrote: “Your son is the image of you Eamonn!”

A second told him: “Very handsome son – like daddy!”

A further fan said: “I can see the likeness Eamonn. Wishing you well!”

And a fourth simply remarked: “Lookalikes!”

Meanwhile a fifth fan said: “Lovely to see a father and son having some bonding time!”

Eamonn revealed on Twitter in October that Declan, whom he shares with ex-wife Gabrielle, had popped the question to girlfriend Jenny Gouk.

Alongside a pic of the couple beaming and showing off the engagement ring, he said:  “I am proud to announce the engagement today of Number 1 Son @decholmes & his now fiancee Dr @JennyGouk.

“Much happiness in both our families.”

Eamonn’s been on a bit of a roll lately when it comes to sharing pictures of his rarely-seen kids.

While he often gushes about his children and how much he loves being a father, they choose to remain out of the spotlight.

But recently he delighted fans with a rare snap of daughter Rebecca, 26, as they enjoyed a day out together with their dog Maggie.

Eamonn has three children from his first marriage – Declan, Rebecca and Niall – and one son, Jack, with second wife Ruth Langsford.
