GB News host missing after Eamonn Holmes forced to quit show mid-air
The presenter was back on air on Wednesday morning, but his co-host Isabel Webster was notably absent. Instead, Eamonn Holmes was joined by Ellie Costello.
While Eamonn has not publicly commented on why he left the show mid-broadcast, a spokesperson confirmed to Express.co.uk that the TV host had "fallen ill".
They stated: "Eamonn had to finish earlier today as he was feeling unwell. He hopes to be back tomorrow."
The former This Morning star unexpectedly left the GB News desk offscreen around 7:45am during an interview with Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Mental Health Maria Caulfield.
Isabel, 41, carried on presenting the final 90 minutes of their show alone, without giving any explanation for Eamonn's sudden departure.
During Wednesday's episode, Eamonn, who typically works from Monday to Wednesday, informed viewers that he would also be working on Friday.
He also confirmed that his co-host Isabel would be returning to present alongside him.
Following Eamonn's abrupt exit from GB News on Tuesday, fans took to social media to question his whereabouts and express concern for his wellbeing.
"@GBNEWS where's @EamonnHolmes gone? No explanation? ! one fan asked while another exclaimed: " one fan queried, while another exclaimed: "He has just disappeared. Maybe he is unwell."
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)
Eamonn recently opened up about his health problems at last week's TRIC Awards, which marked his first public appearance at an event since splitting from his wife Ruth Langsford.
Eamonn said he was on "borrowed time" and confessed: "I’m not OK. This is not a good time at all".
Breakfast with Eamonn and Isabel airs Monday to Wednesday at 6am on GB News.
