Eamonn Holmes has delivered a touching tribute to his late friend and fellow broadcaster, James Whale, who sadly passed away at the age of 76. Holmes, known for his heartfelt sincerity, didn’t hold back in praising Whale’s wife, Nadine, calling her "a gift from God" for her steadfast love and care during her husband’s final days.
In a heartfelt social media post, Holmes reflected on Whale’s legacy, both as a pioneering radio host and a cherished friend. "James was one of a kind—bold, brilliant, and never afraid to speak his mind," Holmes wrote. "But behind every great man is an even greater woman, and Nadine was his rock."
Whale, who had been battling cancer, was remembered not only for his sharp wit and fearless commentary but also for the deep bond he shared with his wife. Holmes emphasised how Nadine’s unwavering support was a testament to true love, saying, "Her devotion was nothing short of miraculous."
Fans and colleagues have since flooded social media with their own tributes, celebrating Whale’s influential career and the love story he shared with Nadine. His passing marks the end of an era in British broadcasting, but his legacy—and the love that defined his final years—will undoubtedly live on.
