GB News viewers were left concerned after presenter Eamonn Holmes suddenly disappeared from the show today.

Eamonn, who recently opened up about his health struggles at the TRIC Awards, was present at the start of the programme alongside his co-host Isabel Webster.

However, he suddenly vanished, prompting worried viewers to take to social media.

One fan tweeted: "@GBNEWS where's @EamonnHolmes gone? No explanation? " while another exclaimed: "He has just disappeared. Maybe he is unwell."

A third asked: "@EamonnHolmes are you OK. Bit worried you disappeared and nobody said a word. . Stay Blessed." (sic)

Someone else quizzed: "@IsabelWebster_What happened to @EamonnHolmes today! One minute he was presenting, the next he just vanished. Hope he’s okay."

Another worried viewer echoed: "@EamonnHolmes are you ok? You keep disappearing xx I worry xxxxx." (sic)

The 64-year-old's absence comes after he admitted he was "not okay" at the TRIC Awards, where he and Webster collected the award for Best Breakfast Show, reports the Express.

The former ITV host arrived at the ceremony in a wheelchair and used sticks for support on stage, revealing that recent operations on his spine and hips have significantly impacted his mobility.

He even confessed to feeling "on borrowed time", as his father tragically died from a heart attack at the age of 65.

The presenter shared that his declining mobility had made him hesitant to attend the awards show, but a new wheelchair gave him the confidence to make an appearance.

Eamonn has faced a series of personal and health challenges, including a split from his wife Ruth Langsford after 14 years of marriage and nearly 30 years together. The TV presenter has been battling chronic pain since undergoing a double hip replacement in 2016, which didn't bring the relief he had hoped for.

He's continued to endure poor circulation, cramps, and severe back pain caused by three slipped discs since 2021. Despite undergoing spinal surgery, a subsequent fall at home resulted in a broken shoulder, leading Eamonn to express fears that he might never walk unaided again.

Yet, support for Eamonn is strong, with Christine McGuinness seen lending a helping hand at the TRIC Awards.

Rheumatoid arthritis forced me to change my diet – and now I’m pain free
I can’t remember a time in my life when there hasn’t been pain somewhere in my body. It came to dominate much of my adult life. If somebody hasn’t been in constant pain, it’s hard to describe it to them. You’re masking the whole time, and everything is so much more difficult. The mornings were the worst for me as the throbbing and aching sensations would set in when I was lying still. The day it took me 45 minutes just to get out of bed because of the agony I was in, I knew something had to chan

Therapy horses help neurology patients regain confidence, motor skills
In an area of Rome that once hosted horse races, four horses and two ponies move at a much slower pace to help neurological patients restore their movements and confidence. With handles on the side of their saddles, the animals at the San Giovanni Battista Hospital allow some people to take their first halting steps after trauma, strokes, degenerative diseases, as well as long COVID. The hospital on the outskirts of Rome, where the city's hippodrome was once located, is the only one in Italy to use hippotherapy - which allows movements that would be harder to carry out in a gym to improve muscle strength, balance and coordination.
