Eamonn Holmes Voted Best UK Breakfast TV Presenter Of All Time

Belfast born Eamonn Holmes has been voted the best UK breakfast TV presenter of all time.

He topped a poll of over 33,000 RadioTimes.com readers who were asked to vote for their favourite top early morning host from a shortlist of 50 contenders.

Holmes received 35% of the votes.

Speaking to RadioTimes.com he said: "Well, I'm the longest serving Breakfast TV presenter of all time so I’d like to think that, in some way, you’re not only the longest or just hanging in there but it also equates to being quite good at it.

"If people feel fondly for you, for what you’ve done, or what you're known as, my goodness me, it begins to make all those early starts, all that lack of sleep, almost worthwhile."
