In his 2006 autobiography, This Is My Life, the presenter explained that his showbiz success was all thanks to his mum.
Josephine had named Eamonn after the famed Eamonn Andrews, who the This Morning host described as “Ireland’s best-known export to Britain and [its] most successful broadcaster.”
Eamonn revealed his mum had “adored” Andrews and hoped that by naming her son after him “I’d grow up to be like him”.
