Eamonn Holmes has candidly confessed he doesn’t know how to tie shoelaces.
The 61 year old This Morning presenter admitted he regrets not learning the skill and, as a result, only wears slip-on shoes.
Eamonn, who recently said he and wife Ruth Langsford have been getting on with their lives after being replaced on This Morning, made the reveal as he confessed it was due to him being spoiled as a child.
The Irish star explained how his mum Josie always tied his laces growing up, meaning he never learned.

The couple were recently axed from their Friday hosting slots on This Morning and replaced by Alison Hammond, who reportedly initially turned down the gig, and Dermot O’Leary.
Eamonn and Ruth will still appear on This Morning, but will host the show during the summer holidays and other breaks.
The news was announced by ITV in November as Managing Director, ITV Daytime, Emma Gormley said: “We are delighted that Alison and Dermot will be joining the main presenting family on This Morning.
