Eamonn Holmes’ heritage REVEALED | ‘This has never come up!’ 

She's horrendous

I was thinking the same.

@@laurabrymer4043 iSABEL is lovely and her and Eamon are very good friends, They have a wonderful chemistry and he teases her all the time. It's a very easy watch on the news.

The surgeon who worked on his eyes obviously didn't like him much.

Cracks me up

You knew he was pure??? He's such a nice person. Whoa!!!! So if he hadn't been so called Pure, that would be negative? So he's a nice person because he's not mixed???

@@bethr8756 🐷💩

Pure Celt. This was surprisingly moving.

​@@bethr8756Just watched a documentary about Savile, Harris, Glitter, and Stuart Hall. All considered nice men and loved by the public... committed their disgusting acts in plain sight for years, ..very interesting...

so was mine

They only go back just over 100 years

You can’t be 100% Irish. They only do 100% Celtic which is what Holmes is.

@@dmvzfdac Actually the Ancestry DNA does state which part of the world your DNA is from. It doesn't say Celtic.

Celts are a 19th century romantic invention

I know right! hahahaha how did you get the little us there? I couldn't find it when I looked. υ₷

Early 1800s is 220 years ago. Around eight generations. You'd have had 256 six times great grandparents alive then. Do you know who they all were and who their 512 parents were?

@@stephfoxwell4620 Of course I don't know who they "all" were Steph. That's the whole point of going on My heritage, is to piece it all together with written documents to find out lol

They can only make broad generalisations and once you go back 300+ years it is virtually impossible. For instance in 1450 you'd have over one million forebears. So to say you are for instance 5% viking they'd need to know 50,000 of them were Norwegian . This is hocus pocus. What my grandad called selling sh*t to fools.

@@stephfoxwell4620 I said it won't be completely accurate in my comment. It's not a big deal for me, it's just fun and interesting and not worth insulting and arguing about lol x

I haven't insulted anyone other than the charlatans extorting money to tell people vague truths. It may be fun. But is wildly inaccurate.

So are most British Isles whitefolk.

They only go back 100 years more or less

She doesn't stop interrupting with nonsense.

Eamonn Holmes isn’t from Britain

According to my DNA I'm 100% native British.

Cat. That is near impossible. The highest levels of Ancient Briton dna is in Wales. About 65%. Most are 25% Anglo-Saxon with tiny bits of Dane, Italian and Spanish.

@@stephfoxwell4620 The Viking influence on DNA would be mainly on the east coast and the north. Not many would have Spanish (from the Armada I assume). Anyway the only reason I did mine was to confirm that my grandfather actually was my grandfather (apparently my grandmother was a bit 'loose' back in the day!)

It is interesting, but wildly inaccurate beyond 10 generations. About 280 years.

You are NOT 'Irish'.

@@uingaeoc3905 Tell that to the 'Irish Americans' who are many generations away from their Irish ancestors. There are probably more people of Irish descent in the UK than there are in the USA as many Irish moved to the UK.

Correct. Snake oil salesmen.

They can only go as far back as just over 100 years ago, nothing more

They go to 1837. Then make broad guesses.

@@STRANGERINMOSCOW1 The Government are said to be behind those companies I will leave you to guess why.

Canadian dude who does the Useful Charts channel sent his dna to eight of these companies. He got eight different results.

I did my DNA with ancestry and its real. Came up with my son, cousins, 1st cousins 1 removed. When I contacted some of them, we had same mother, their great grandmother was my mother's brother. So many were traced to my mum or my father, so it's real believe me 😊

@@Einstein852 I think you need to re-read what you just wrote!!! Or maybe you’re taking the mick?? 🤣🤣

@@stephfoxwell4620 you see! Load of rubbish!

It goes by the markers in your DNA tru

This is an urban myth in Ireland. There is Spanish dna there, but from Iberian traders around 1,000 BC. Spaniards unlucky enough to be shipwrecked in 1588 were murdered on the beaches or taken prisoner. 400 were repatriated in 1589.

Impossible.

What? Why is that lucky??? Whoa these comments are sooo racist!!!

@@bethr8756 🐷💩

@@bethr8756 what an ignorant comment!! Do we all need to be mixed so we’re not considered racists. I also think he is very lucky, being pure english is quite a privilege knowing the history of this country. (I’m not english btw but I appreciate its language, culture, people, history everything).

@@Lyuoe56 what ignorant comment...oh you mean yours.😂

It would have to , wouldn't it? To be 100% anything. Right back to the Irish Common Ancestor point around 1300. 99.5% of his millions of forebears would have to be pure Irish. No Scots, Welsh,Cornish,Danes etc.

His parents may not necessarily have full Irish DNA but both his parents Irish DNA could have been passed down to Eamonn making 100% Irish.

How do you know his parents were 100% Irish. As I say, it is impossible.

@@stephfoxwell4620 Celts, not Irish. Just like 90% of the rest of the British isles.

Celts is a term invented by the romantics around 1780. You mean Ancient Britons. The 18 tribes who came here between 1400 BC and 400 BC

He's Irish.

@@stephfoxwell4620 British, from Belfast.

I believe you will find he is Irish.

@@bernadettequinn446 Ireland was part of Britain, and in fact Ireland is still in the British Isles.

​@@El.Cid17the British isles is not a real place.

Smash and grab lol

Not if he was from the green side, which he is.

Foxwell is from the gae community that hates all that is decent

Apart from here in Yorkshire. We have twice the amount of Scandinavian/Norse DNA than the rest of the country does.

Yorkshire ,alongside the Home Counties has the highest amount; f Anglo-Saxon dna. Vikings left very little trace in Britain other than Shetland and Orkney. Maybe 2-5%.

Peat stains.

Virtually impossible to be 100% Irish.

Agree, my Dad's family did their DNA, all came back Irish with nothing else. So not that rare.

There are nine different dna groups in Ireland and two of these are Scottish. Maybe 6% Viking and 4% Anglo-Saxon dna too,plus the usual 3% neanderthal that we all carry. It is impossible to be 100% Irish. These heritage firms are ripping people off.

I’m 88.5% I thought that was pretty good 😀

@@stephfoxwell4620 Fun fact: Bleak people have 0% Neaderthal in them. Every other race has 3%.

Again. Very unlikely. How far back did you go? Ten generations is 1,024 forebears about 300 years ago.

Hah I’m Scottish but I get Scotland 46% England & Northwestern Europe 38% Norway 9% Wales 5% Ireland 2%

I bet you enjoy braveheart more now

Most lowland Scots are 20% Anglo-Saxon at least.

@@stephfoxwell4620 it’s from my mums side from what I’ve looked into they lived in a small village in Suffolk going to back to the 1500s from what I’ve found out so far

His vague dna map covers Devon, Scotland and Wales.

No such thing ,except in places like Iceland or Tonga.

In her vacuously casual arrogance.

She has an oversized forehead.

I think the first were black skinned but we are related to the original people on these isles.

I did 23andme test

There's no such thing as a true Paddy. They were slaughtered centuries ago by the invading Celts.

​@@Warriorking.1963 Stop making up crap. DNA shows that modern Irish people can trace back their heritage thousands of years.

@@Warriorking.1963 That’s rubbish a Neolithic body 6000 years old was found and tested in Co Clare … they then tested the local people, and school kids …….. and a huge amount of them were actual ancestors of this Neolithic person ….most of my family whom took these DNA tests have come back 100 Irish and Britain

Oh BS MsMilliemay. What I said isn't even considered controversial! The Celts arrived in Ireland around 1000BC, they called themselves "Gaelic", which means "Foreign Invader", to distinguish themselves from the people they were murdering and enslaving. As for the Neolithic DNA in the "huge amount" of those tested in Co Claire, well nobody claimed the Celts were ever against a little - how shall I put it - "forced socialising" with their slaves. Unfortunately I can't post links on RU-vid, but even the most basic search on Google should confirm what I said.

@@Warriorking.1963 Seriously stop embarrassing yourself, modern Irish people can trace back there ancestry through DNA thousands of years. The celts didn't replace anyone, they became part of Irish culture, just like the Vikings and Normans.

This is vanishingly rare. Impossible really.

No jews

Inevitable. Northern Ireland had only 1.4 million people a hundred years ago. Spilt into two communities. Go back just nine generations they'd all be related.

Grow up.

Catholics need not apply

Yes. Dna is only statistically reliable to nine generations,which is 270 years ago. 1750 ish.
