Eamonn Holmes is taking on a new role later this year — as a doting grandfather.
The broadcaster (61) made the announcement on This Morning, hours after teasing viewers that he had "something to tell them".
The happy news came after the Belfast man revealed he had been battling chronic pain.
He tweeted on Tuesday: "Can (you) keep a secret? Got something to tell (you) at 11am on This Morning. I hope you will be happy for me because I am over the moon. It’s even, for the moment, made me forget my chronic pain. Yes, it’s that good."
The presenter broke the news alongside wife Ruth Langsford, telling viewers: "There’s something I want to talk to you about. It’s been a tough year for everybody and it’s been a tough week for me. There’s not much good news around.
