Eamonn Holmes shared a photo from the start of his career to Instagram on Wednesday evening – and his fans were thrilled! In the photo, a very young Eamonn sat behind a news desk with a full head of thick dark hair, wearing a shirt and tie with a dark jacket. A white tiled background was behind him and a small logo in the bottom right corner of the screen read 'Good Evening Ulster'. The This Morning presenter captioned the rare picture with an explanation of when it was taken, revealing that it was actually a long-lost artefact!

His followers were quick to share their love for the special screenshot, commenting: "You’ve always been gorgeous Eamonn, followed you for years you lovely man," "So handsome & professional!!! Only a young one…" and: "You haven’t aged a day sir."
