Northern Irish TV Presenter known for presenting shows like Sunrise, Songs of Praise and This Morning. On his twitter he claimed to be
"5'11" and in 2016 after hip replacement surgery mentioned
"I stand straighter, am an inch taller.". On another occasion he joked
"However Devastated by Fake News from the Daily Mail online Who say I measure just under 5'10" ...When I am actually 5' 10 and a HALF !!!!! 😃"

I used to be 5 foot 10 and a half, but I was measured by the doctor recently.
He said "How tall are you?"
I said, "5 foot 10 and a half."
And he said, "No you’re not, you’re 5 foot 9!"
As you get older, your back compresses and things happen.

I dont know. Sitting for that much time in the day could cause many problems.

He’s not that old, no idea how he’s lost so much height considering his occupation isn’t physically demanding in the slightest, you’d expect if he was a bricky or something fair enough but not someone who sits at a desk for 90 percent of the day

More than an inch seems extreme

5ft10½ looks right for his peak

it was interesting a few weeks ago when he mentioned the Doctor got him as 5ft 9...1.5 inches is a fair amount to lose at his age if the Doc measured him that mark...

Eammonn seems quite hung up about his height and the height of others. He mentions height quite a lot. He's 59 now so he might have lost a bit. My guess is 5ft 10in.
Editor Rob
He might have lost an inch...given he has had hip issues and surgery.

Yes, I thought he wasn't 6'0", closer to 5'10" or 5'11". Eamonn is 5'10.5"-5'11".

I found out recently that Caroline (Mrs Merton) Aherne used to be Eamonn's secretary when she worked for the BBC. I found that rather interesting!
Eamonn gets 5ft11 because there is only one box, and I have heard it straight from the horse's mouth. But hey there -or should I say HAY there - wait a minute, if I believed everything....
No, I have decided to change my mind and lop off half-an-inch!
➡️🐴 - 🐂💩 or no 🐂💩? That is indeed the question!

Ruth Langsford reminds someone of Diana Rigg please get a life Diana Rigg has more class in her little finger than Ruth has in her whole body no contest

The most he would ever get from me is 5ft10.5! That means he is only half an inch shorter than his peak 5ft11 - not bad!
Editor Rob said on 27/Jun/16
I read an article recently and after hip replacement claimed to be an inch taller now.

I think she's a very attractive woman, one of the most attractive women on TV of all ages IMO. Reminds me of a bit of Diana Rigg in the 60s. Looks like she'd be great fun to be with too. Eamonn's a lucky man as Rob says ;-)

Ruth lovely Arch!

Exactly what I would have guessed.
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 19/Sep/15
Seen him in London. I'd have guessed 5ft10 but I can except the extra ½in
Arch Stanton said on 18/Sep/15
Rob is it wrong of me to have a crush on Ruth? She has that retro 60s sort of look about her I find really hot haha! I'd always thought Eamonn about 5 ft 11 so seems a good shout.
Editor Rob
there is no shame in having a crush on Ruth, I'm sure Eamonn Holmes goes to bed a happy man and wakes up with a smile on his face.
