EAMONN Holmes has suffered another setback as his theatre tour has been cancelled due to poor ticket sales, The Sun can reveal.
The GB News presenter, 65, was set to take to the stage for his first live event on March 11.
But sluggish demand led organisers to pull the plug.
A source said: “Eamonn was really looking forward to the show.
“He loves interacting with the public and meeting fans. But ticket sales just weren’t there.
“It’s been a tough time for him personally and this is another disappointment to deal with.”
Eamonn revealed plans for a new live podcast tour with fellow GB News presenter Paul Coyte back in December.
The pair were due to kick it off in Radlett, Hertfordshire, selling tickets for £40.
It was titled Things We Like! With Eamonn and Paul and meet and greet opportunities were available.
Eamonn promoted the event on Instagram and teased a full theatre tour.
The Irish star penned to his 780,000 followers: “Coming your way soon and in theatres around the Country.
“Maybe the perfect last minute Christmas gift!”

He said: “Working with my mates @Coytey67 and Deano on our soon to be released podcast/ videocast Things we Like today.

Will keep you posted re launch date.”
The blow comes as Eamonn navigates his high-profile split from wife Ruth Langsford after 14 years of marriage.
TV anchor Eamonn has been plagued by a series of health setbacks in recent years.
He had a double hip replacement in 2016. Last year, he had back surgery which has left him using a wheelchair.
And in January last year he broke his shoulder in a fall.
Four months later we revealed he had split with Loose Women star Ruth.
Despite their break-up nearly a year ago, Ruth and Eamonn, both 65, are yet to finalise their divorce, with reports Ruth is “desperate to be free of their marriage”.
Meanwhile, Eamonn’s former “TV wife” Isabel Webster took an apparent swipe at the star days ago.
She was dropped by controversial news channel, GB News, after presenting their flagship morning show with Eamonn for two years.
The Sun has contaced a rep for Eamonn for comment.
BITTER BREAK-UP
It comes as The Sun revealed how Ruth and Eamonn had a showdown before their split after she discovered him chatting on the phone to another woman.
A few weeks later she found messages on his shared laptop — triggering their marriage split.
A source said: “It was a real kick in the teeth.”
Eamonn is now in a relationship with Katie Alexander, 43, with the pair enjoying holidays together last summer and trips to the theatre.
