Eamonn Holmes pulled over by Surrey Police in the early hours

Veteran presenter Eamonn Holmes has been full of praise for Surrey Police – despite being pulled over by two officers this morning (March 23). The GB News anchor was on the roads during the early hours. He said two young officers had stopped him in his vehicle to ensure it wasn’t stolen.

This, he claimed, is because of a spate of car thefts in the area. Taking to Twitter, the ex-GMTV star said: “Pulled over by the police on the way into work and delighted to be so. “A lot of car thefts in my area and they were just checking that the car I was in wasn’t one of them…

2 young officers in their 20’s and an absolute credit to Surrey Police.” It is thought Eamonn was on his way to work when the force flagged him down. : Police arrest 19 people and seize six weapons in Surrey drug clampdown Eamonn, who used to present Friday instalments of ITV’s This Morning with wife Ruth Langsford for around 15 years took up a new role at GB News in January.
