Eamonn Holmes enjoyed a day out watching football with his two sons, Declan and Jack, at the weekend.

The This Morning presenter, 59, posted a sweet snap to his Instagram on Saturday showing himself, Declan, 30, and Jack, 16, posing on the football pitch.

Eamonn told his fans he and his boys were enjoying a “lads day out” watching Manchester United play.

He captioned the pic: “Lads day out. #United with my Boys. Had a Great day with Eldest Son and Baby Son at The Footie today (sic).”

Fans went wild for the photo with many gushing over how alike the trio look.

One person said: “Yes they both have their dads dashing looks,” while another wrote: “Jack is so like you Eamonn… both very handsome boys you have.”

A third commented: “Lovely pic with your children, they both look like you Eamonn.”

Eamonn has Declan, daughter Rebecca, 28, and son Niall, 26, from his previous relationship with his ex-wife Gabrielle.

He has Jack with his wife Ruth Langsford.

Last year, Ruth and Eamonn opened up about having different views on embarrassing their son Jack.

While Ruth said she’s always “mindful” of how Jack may feel, Eamonn joked he has no intention of watching what he says to spare their son’s feelings!

Speaking to Bella magazine, Ruth said: “What’s always at the forefront of my mind is that we have a 16-year-old son. We know what it’s like being a teenager and how easily your parents can embarrass you – just by breathing sometimes!”

“He’s got not just one parent on television, but two, so we are always mindful of saying too much. My boundary is if Jack would find something awkward or humiliating at school, then I would say ‘no’.”

But Eamonn joked that he’s not so sensitive to how his son feels.

“Jack’s embarrassed about everything. I have no intention of being reined in by my children because they’ll be my age soon enough – as I always tell them,” he said.
