TV presenter Eamonn Holmes has whisked his lover away on a sunshine break with her family to Greece.
It comes amid claims his relationship with two of his own sons has become strained.
Eamonn, 65, was seen checking in at Heathrow on Friday with marriage counsellor Katie Alexander, 43.
He forked out for the luxury trip to Greece — the setting for Homer’s epic adventure Odyssey — also taking Katie’s three grown-up children from her previous marriage.
Yesterday, it was reported Eamonn has had a falling out with Niall, 32, the youngest of his three children with first wife Gabrielle.
It was claimed that Niall was unhappy about his father’s behaviour and the circumstances of his dad’s marriage split from TV presenter second wife Ruth Langsford.
Jack, 23, his son with Ruth, is also understood to be upset about their marriage breakdown and has sided with his mother.
A source said: “Things remain strained between him and his father.”
But there was no sign of worry as the GB News frontman, who suffers from spine problems, travelled through the airport in a wheelchair, looking admiringly at Katie.
Sources have revealed to The Sun on Sunday Katie was disappointed that Eamonn pulled out of buying a £550,000 semi-detached house in her native West Yorkshire, where they could stay close to her family home.
She had told friends she was planning to move in some personal belongings to the new home as they prepared for a future together.
A source told The Sun on Sunday: “It was their first rocky patch but there’s nothing a holiday can’t fix.”
The relationship wobble came after Katie avoided the Television and Radio Industries Club awards last month, when Eamonn picked up a gong.
She said she stayed away to protect her mental health.
Eamonn is still waiting to finalise his divorce from Loose Women host Ruth, 65.
He has been forking out about £6,000 a month renting a bachelor pad in Surrey after moving out of the marital home.
