Katie, 43, organised work to be carried out for the arrival of wheelchair user Eamonn, 65, in the small West Yorkshire town of Mirfield.

Katie, in blue jeans and a jumper, helped him out of the car.

Then Eamonn beamed with joy as he gingerly used a walking frame.

It was the presenter’s first trip to the property.

He woke with Katie on Christmas Day and was all set to meet her loved ones.

A source said: “Eamonn headed to Katie’s home for Christmas to show just how loved-up he really is.

“It was a 4½-hour drive from his bachelor pad in London. He’s met Katie’s two younger children before, but turning up at their home was still nerve-racking.”

He plans on spending a few days in Yorkshire before returning to his own place in South West London.

The Sun told in May how Eamonn and Ruth Langsford, 64, were to divorce after she found messages from him to another woman.
