Eamonn Holmes to present podcast for Not Just Travel

Eamonn Holmes will frequently join lead presenter Not Just Travel brand ambassador, colleague and long-time friend TV presenter Hayley Sparkes as co-host. 

As the world’s longest-serving breakfast television presenter, having amassed over 31 years with GMTV, Sky News and three years with the award-winning Breakfast show on GB News, Eamonn is perhaps best known for being a presenter of ITV’s This Morning but he is also a seasoned traveller and supporter of the UK travel industry.

Eamonn and Hayley will interview a selection of guests to discuss the hottest destinations across the globe, including professional travellers, industry leaders and the people behind the world’s best holidays. One of Eamonn’s first interviews is with Virgin Voyage’s UK Director of Sales SJ Walker.  

Now on its 100th episode, since its launch during lockdown in 2020 The Travel Podcast quickly became iTunes' #1 travel podcast and reached #36 in the overall podcast charts, beating several established podcasts including TedTalks, Tony Robbins and Frank Skinner’s show. The show relaunched 2024 with Hayley Sparkes at the helm who shared inspirational ideas, hacks and tips from industry partners, travel influencers and celebrities.

As well as hosting the show together, the duo are creating lifestyle marketing content for Not Just Travel’s hundreds of homeworking travel consultants - both about destinations and suppliers but also to increase awareness of the Not Just Travel brand and the value of its consultants.

Eamonn Holmes OBE joined the company in May this year as spokesperson. He said of the announcement: “I love everything about Not Just Travel; its vision, founders and incredibly passionate consultants. I started travel presenting aged 26 on BBC 1’s Holiday Programme, experiencing everything from US ranch holidays to sailing the Danube. Now I’m honoured to work with my long-time friend and This Morning colleague, Hayley Sparkes. Hayley is one of the best in the business and together we’re going to have fun talking all things travel while boosting the business of Not Just Travel’s network of consultants.”

Co-founder of Not Just Travel and The Travel Franchise Paul Harrison said: “We knew we had created a little piece of magic when we saw Eamonn in action, engaging with our consultants on our Seminar at Sea with Princess Cruises. Eamonn is one of the most liked and respected men in the TV world and he will help elevate our brand among consumers. This is a coup for us and we can’t wait to hear his many stories on The Travel Podcast.”
