GB News star Nana Akua threw the glam bash as she celebrated her upcoming wedding to fiancé Stephen Gillen at Shoreditch’s swanky Blue Marlin Club.

 

The loved-up pair were joined by a string of celeb pals, family and friends for the star-studded engagement party - with Eamonn, 63, making a surprise appearance alongside girlfriend Katie, 43, who stayed close by his side throughout the night.

Eamonn, who has been battling ongoing mobility issues, was seen leaning on a walking aid as Katie supported him into the venue - the pair marking one of their first public outings together.

After suffering from chronic back issues following spinal surgery and a fall, Eamonn appeared in good spirits despite his visible discomfort, managing a smile for waiting photographers.

The pair looked loved up as they stepped out for the glitzy evening do.

Katie turned heads in a figure-hugging chocolate brown bodycon dress, oozing glamour as she arrived on Eamonn’s arm.

She completed the look with matching sunglasses, a gold chain and a waist-cinching belt that showed off her hourglass figure - stealing the spotlight as the pair made their entrance.

Meanwhile, a frail but dapper Eamonn cut a smart figure in a navy two-piece suit, crisp white shirt, and matching shoes - proving he hasn’t lost his sharp sense of style.

This comes after Katie opened up on the reason she swerved her red carpet debut with him at this year's TRIC Awards two weeks ago.

Taking to Instagram, Katie shared a photograph of herself sitting barefoot inside a wooden cabin.

She used stickers saying "be mindful" and "peace and quiet" to illustrate the snap.

Writing alongside it, Katie admitted that she deliberately avoided the high profile event in London because of hurtful trolls.

She said: "Was going to The Tric Awards, but I'd rather protect my Mental Health and Inner Peace than be subjected to more online hate from people who don't know me."

This year's TRIC Awards was held at Grosvenor House in London.

 

Ruth and Eamonn's relationship timeline

 

Before the shock split announcement, Ruth and Eamonn seemed like one of the strongest couples on UK TV – even with their signature bickering style.

Here's how their romance played out...

1997 - The couple first meet after being introduced by mutual friends, two years after Eamonn splits from his first wife, Gabrielle, with whom he has three children.

1997-2002 - To be respectful to Gabrielle, the couple kept their relationship out of the limelight. Ruth told Daily Mail: "I thought it spoke volumes about the sort of man he was, the sort of father he was and the integrity he had. It made me love him more, not less."

2002 - Ruth and Eamonn welcome their son, Jack, to the family.

2005 - Eamonn finalises his divorce with Gabrielle.

2006 - The pair begin to host Friday episodes of This Morning together.

June 2010 - Eamonn and Ruth marry at Elvetham Hall, Hampshire.

2016 - Eamonn undergoes a double hip replacement in the first of many health battles.

June 2019 - On This Morning, Ruth and Eamonn say the secret to their happy marriage. Eamonn credits "compromise, consideration and lots of conjugal," while Ruth said it was "laughter and an equal marriage".

November 2020 - Ruth and Eamonn are replaced on their regular Friday slot by Alison Hammond and Dermot O'Leary in a 'show shake-up'.

December 2021 - After a year of being moved to the bank holiday presenting slot, both Eamonn and Ruth left This Morning.

January 2022 - Eamonn debuted on GB News, while Ruth stayed with ITV in her long-standing role on Loose Women.

September 2022 - Eamonn undergoes spinal surgery after years of back issues including a trapped sciatic nerve.

November 2022 - Eamonn falls down the stairs of his Surrey home with Ruth and breaks his shoulder, requiring a new operation.

September 2023 - Eamonn has a spine and neck stretching procedure as part of his year-long recovery.

May 2024 - Ruth and Eamonn announce they have split after 14 years of marriage and a 27-year relationship.

September 2024 - Eamonn was spotted on a luxury holiday in Barcelona with his new girlfriend Katie Alexander. Ruth calls in a 'fierce' divorce lawyer.

It would have been Eamonn and Katie's first red carpet event together.

Eamonn joined his GB News Breakfast Show co-stars on stage in his wheelchair as they collected the award for Best News Programme.

Katie has since shared a photo of the team to congratulate them, writing: "Winner winner chicken dinner!"

Katie is a relationship counsellor and family support worker from Yorkshire.

The pair reportedly grew close last year, with sources saying she has been a “pillar of strength” during Eamonn’s ongoing health battles and split from wife Ruth Langsford.

Eamonn and Ruth called it quits after 14 years of marriage in May last year.

The former couple, who share son Jack, are now in the midst of divorce and a battle over their £3.6million home.

Following his split, Eamonn and Katie began dating in mid-2024.
