EAMONN Holmes cuddles up to his glamorous new girlfriend in a proud display of public affection while on holiday in Ibiza.

The TV legend, 64, slapped his hand on Katie Alexander’s bottom after disembarking from a Virgin cruise ship.

The loved-up couple were dressed to the nines, with blonde bombshell Katie, 42, pictured in a £315 designer black mini dress, £665 Christian Louboutin heels, and clutching a £850 Loewe raffia bag. 

But they were forced to wait an hour outside for their taxi to arrive, leaving Eamonn swamped by female admirers requesting selfies.

Katie was seen stepping forward to her man to support him in his wheelchair, before the telly presenter pulled her close to him.

They were eventually whisked off with some pals where they enjoyed the night at a restaurant with red wine on the menu at £500.

Days before Eamonn posed with a group of dolled-up women onboard the Scarlet Lady while wearing a pair of red-heart sunglasses.

Last week The Sun on Sunday revealed that Eamonn was taking Katie on a luxury holiday, which left his estranged wife Ruth Langsford, 64, ‘gobsmacked’.

The following day Eamonn was seen in an electric wheelchair at Heathrow Airport and the new couple then landed in Barcelona, Spain, to board Virgin Voyager’s luxurious cruise. 

While Eamonn enjoyed an evening in Ibiza with Katie, Ruth shared on Instagram that her son Jack Holmes, 22, had ordered her favourite curry.

Speaking on social media from her Surrey home on Friday night, she said: “So my son ordered my takeaway so it was here when I got home – love him for that.”

Ruth and Eamonn shocked the nation in May when they revealed they had split up after 14 years of marriage.

Meanwhile Eamonn has been plagued by a series of health problems in recent years that have led to him requiring walking aids.

He had a double hip replacement in 2016. Last year, he had back surgery which has left him using a wheelchair.

And in January he broke his shoulder in a fall. Four months later we revealed he had split with Ruth.
