It was previously reported that Eamonn, who has embarked on a new romance with Katie Alexander, 43, is said to be at the top of ITV's wish list for next year's series with bosses tempting him with a £250,000 fee. However, while the star is said to be 'flattered' by the offer, he has ultimately rejected it as he allegedly feared being away from his girlfriend, who is 22 years his junior.

Eamonn, who suffers with mobility issues due to a long-term back injury, also worried about the possible lack of support he'd receive due to his specific needs. A source told The Mirror: 'Eamonn was approached to do Celebrity Big Brother. He was flattered by the offer and it was a huge six-figure sum. After giving it some serious thought, he ultimately turned it down. The logistics of navigating the house and needing a wheelchair really concerned him and he didn't feel confident that the support he'd need would be there.'.
