The This Morning presenter, 58, shared his delight with fans via Twitter by revealing he’d flown back to his home country for the big day yesterday.

Eamonn wrote: “It’s a Special Day. My first born son @decholmes gets married today to @JennyGouk. The clans are gathering and I’m delighted to say there’s a lot of love and happiness all around us #IrishWedding.”

Fans were quick to congratulate Eamonn (and Declan and Jenny, of course!) on the exciting day.

A third added: “Have a great time Eamonn.. no one does a wedding like the Irish. Wishing your son and his bride to be many happy years together.”

Eamonn’s celebrity pals also offered their well-wishes, with talkRadio co-host Saira Khan telling him: “Congratulations Eamonn, you must be so proud. Enjoy every minute of it. Don’t be afraid to shed a few tears of happiness and joy too.”

Eamonn announced his son’s engagement to Jenny back in October last year.

At the time, 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.”

He later flew to Ireland to help Declan research wedding venues. 

Eamonn shares Dec with his ex-wife Gabrielle, who is also mother to his children Rebecca and Niall. He has one son, Jack, with second wife Ruth Langsford.

Many fans urged Eamonn to share photos from the wedding as soon as possible, while others said they hoped the TV star was feeling better.

Last week, Eamonn revealed he was suffering from shingles, sharing a photo to Instagram showing painful inflammation across his face.

Eamonn and wife Ruth have been covering for Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby on This Morning over the summer.

Usually they just host the Friday slot but they’ve added extra days to their schedule while Phillip and Holly enjoy a break.
