The sun sets on Eamonn Holmes’ Sky career after 11 years

Eamonn Holmes is stepping down from hosting Sky News Sunrise after 11 years.

The TV presenter, 56, confirmed his departure from the daily breakfast programme via a post on his Facebook page.

He said that anchoring his own breakfast show was “the stuff of boyhood dreams”, but that it is time for him to step down due to “having so much to do, but little time to do it”.
