Eamonn Holmes steps down from Sky News Sunrise after 11 years

Eamonn Holmes is stepping down from hosting Sky News Sunrise after 11 years.

The TV presenter, 56, confirmed his departure from the daily breakfast programme via a post on his Facebook page.

He said that anchoring his own breakfast show was "the stuff of boyhood dreams" but that it is time for him to step down due to "having so much to do but little time to do it".

Holmes has presented Sunrise since 2005, following his departure from ITV's GMTV, which he co-hosted for 12 years.

He is a stand-in presenter on This Morning alongside his wife Ruth Langsford, and he also hosts Channel 5's celebrity panel show It's Not Me, It's You.
