The couple’s firm Holmes and Away – described as set up to receive income from radio broadcasting – paid around £265,000 in Corporation Tax in the last two years.

That means his taxable income was about £1.3m for that period, according to a Daily Star report.

Another outfit for television activities called Red, White and Green run by Eamonn has assets of £774,000 but did not pay any tax in 2021.

A company called Hey-Ho Ltd in Ruth’s name for “theatrical” business has resources of £2.3million – including £1.1million in cash.

Accounts filed from that company showed it paid £623,111 in Corporation Tax since 2020 and took in £1.5m in loans from the firm.

The couple earn large salaries from presenting and they own a mansion in Surrey worth millions.

In January last year, Alison Hammond and co-host Dermot O’Leary took over from the husband and wife duo as Friday presenters on the ITV show.

The news shocked fans as Eamonn and Ruth had hosted on Fridays for 15 years.

After the ousting Eamonn headed to rival broadcaster GB News, where he now co-presents the breakfast show.

Yet the switch has not been without continuing scandal, with the northern Irish presenter recently branding the broadcaster “sly” for the axing.

He has also been forced to hit back at claims viewers of the weekday lifestyle show “didn’t like” him.

Continuing to stand his corner, Eamonn told the Guardian Magazine: “It was obvious I didn’t tick the boxes for ITV any more and I wasn’t being treated with respect there.

“It was a self-esteem thing.

“You think ‘nah I’m out of here, bye!’ So that was it.

“And nothing’s changed: I play what I do straight.”

He added: “GB News has been very welcoming – it’s nice to be appreciated.”
