At the 2025 TRIC Awards, former This Morning presenter Eamonn Holmes accepted an award for Best News – but he was met with very mixed reactions

Eamonn Holmes ‘booed and heckled’ on stage as he accepts award at TRIC ceremony
Eamonn Holmes encountered a tense atmosphere at Tuesday’s Television and Radio Industries Club (TRIC) awards as he collected the News award on behalf of GB News Breakfast.
The 65-year-old presenter used a wheelchair ramp to access the stage, where he expressed gratitude to the production team and viewers. However, the moment was marred by audible boos from some attendees after GB News Breakfast was announced.
Despite the reaction, Eamonn delivered a touching tribute to fellow presenter Charli Peters, who had earlier won the News Presenter award for his investigative work on grooming gangs in the UK.

Eamonn went on to pay tribute to a colleague, but the end of his speech became awkward after someone in the audience heckled for Eamonn to ‘get off’.
It remains uncertain whether Eamonn heard the heckling. He concluded his speech warmly, saying: “For the thousands of people who voted, that is brilliant for us so we say thank you, thank you, thank you, to anyone who did bother to vote.”

This marks the second year running that Eamonn has accepted the TRIC News award. Last year, he made his appearance with the aid of a walker and hinted at personal challenges, stating: “So I got two things in my back that I didn’t want,” seemingly referencing his medical procedure and his recent split from former co-host Ruth Langsford.
Elsewhere at the ceremony, former Love Island star Tasha Ghouri shared her thoughts on her career direction following her recent split from Andrew Le Page, whom she met on the ITV2 dating show in 2022. The couple, who made it to the Love Island final, ended their relationship after more than two and a half years together.

Speaking at the TRIC Awards in London, the 26-year-old said she is focusing on developing her presenting career rather than returning to reality dating shows. “It’s not for me personally,” Tasha admitted, referring to programs like Love Island: All Stars or Celebs Go Dating.
She added, “I know people find love on these shows but my dating shows are closed. I’m going down a different path now. It’s something I’m really passionate about. I’m happily single but I’m open to love. I’d love a family.”
