Eamonn Holmes and his brother Brian sure look alike! The TV presenter shared a photo of the pair on his Instagram account over the weekend, and got fans talking after asking them to guess who was the oldest. The This Morning host captioned the image: "This is my brother Brian…But is he my Wee Brother or my Big Brother? We have a bet on the vote." Guesses soon came in the comments section, with the majority of fans believing Brian to be the oldest. "Older, still handsome just you like, though you can see the similarities," one wrote. "I think he is your older brother as you are taller and younger brothers tend to be the tallest," another added. A third offered their safe theory – ensuring neither Eamonn nor Brian were offended: "Twins."

The This Morning host asked fans to guess who was older
Eamonn - who is married to Loose Women panellist Ruth Langsford – grew up in Belfast with four brothers and previously opened up about his close relationship with them. Talking to The Guardian, the father-of-four disclosed: "My brothers and I are very close. Growing up, the lack of space meant we were like bear cubs or dogs that were always biting and nipping at each other, but not now. Today they are my best friends and that's the same for all of us; we love each other's company, we love being with each other, we indulge heavily in, what they call in Belfast, the banter or the craic."
