Eamonn Holmes’ pal Amanda Holden reveals her concern for star after his heartbreaking post
AMANDA Holden has revealed her concern for Eamonn Holmes after he shared a heartbreaking social media post.
The Britain’s Got Talent judge mentioned the TV veteran’s blight during her Heart breakfast programme.
Amanda, 53, and Ashley Roberts discussed Eamonn’s plea for fans to adopt his dog Bella.
In a social media post, the 64-year-old revealed due to his limited mobility and health issues he’s no longer able to care for his furry companion.
Eamonn said: “This is Bella and Bella’s come the whole way from Greece, and it wasn’t a very happy experience for her in Greece.
“But all of that could change thanks to you. Yes, she is actually looking for the perfect home somewhere that she can feel loved forever and live out the rest of her days in happiness being spoiled.
“She’s got the most beautiful personality, too. As you can see, she’s a very special girl. So if you can offer this little one a home, please get in touch with the canine angels.”
Covering the news on Heart radio, Ashley said: “Let’s talk about Eammon Holmes, so he’s asking fans for some help.
“He’s found this dog Bella, fell in love with little Bella. Bella’s come from Greece and had a bit of a tough time over in Greece and he’s like listen I unfortunately can’t walk or run. So he’s asking fans for help to help find Bella a new home.”
Responding, Amanda Holden simply replied: “I feel so bad for Eammon.”
Eamonn previously shared a pooch with estranged wife Ruth Langsford, but lost custody of the fur baby after they split.
Earlier this month Eamonn and his new girlfriend Katie Alexander jetted off to Barcelona for a lavish holiday.
The Sun recently revealed how the pair have now lined up more trips abroad after Eamonn shared his plans with his GB News stars.
