Amanda Holden has led a long line of famous faces quick to congratulate the People's Channel's very own Eamonn Holmes following an impressive career milestone.
On Saturday evening, Eamonn was given the Lifetime Achievement Award at London Fashion Week’s This Is Icon event.
The audience at the event erupted into applause as an unsuspecting Eamonn received the gong from none other than his GB News co-star Nana Akua.
After watching video tributes from friends, family, and colleagues, the microphone was handed to Eamonn, who couldn't resist a cheeky joke following the win.
"This is, this is so embarrassing," he blushed. "Genuinely, I had no idea that was coming my way.
"I’m sorry I can’t get up. I’m in a wheelchair. This is where I have been for the past couple of years, but the great thing about GB News is that I just have to sit behind a desk and I can still carry out the job that I love, which is excellent."
Showing off his quick wit, Eamonn went on: "You know, people... I thought they were talking about, 'Eamonn, you’re a real cult.' I think that’s what they were saying. I’m not so sure."
Laughter filled the auditorium before Eamonn continued: "But absolutely amazing.
