Hunky to chunky: Eamonn Holmes piles on the pounds
Updated 10:13am on 19 Feb 2008As Eamonn Holmes approaches 50, it's not only age that appears to be catching up with him.
The presenter was pictured out in London carrying excess weight and proving that TV really does pile on the pounds.

Excess: Holmes looked significantly heavier on a day out in the West End on Sunday (left)
Holmes made history recently by being the first person to present a major news programme who was wider than he was tall.
The 48-year-old star is 5ft 3 with 64 inch waist and by the looks of things, his expanding double chin shows no sign of slowing down.
Holmes was recently reunited with This Morning presenter Fern Britton for the first time in 15 years.

Clutching a photograph of the pair when they first appeared on TV together in the early '90s, Holmes and Britton recalled how "beautiful" they looked in their youth.
The duo worked at GMTV together before Holmes left for Sky's breakfast show and Fern went to ITV1's This Morning.
However, when Britton whipped the frame out on live TV today, he looked rather embarrassed, presumably at the sight of added inches on his waistline.
