TV presenter Eamonn Holmes has been noticeably absent from his regular slot on GB News this week, leaving fans wondering about his whereabouts. The 64-year-old usually co-hosts the show with Isabel Webster on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays, but on Monday morning, viewers were surprised to see him replaced by Nana Akua. The sudden change was not addressed on air, leaving viewers in the dark.
Eamonn has since taken to social media to clarify the situation, informing fans that he is simply on his summer holiday and will be back on the show next week. In the meantime, viewers have been tuning in to see Nana and Isabel deliver the latest news headlines.
Last week, Eamonn found himself in a heated debate with guests on the show, as they discussed the controversy surrounding the Union Jack flag. Eamonn had to remind one of the guests not to lecture him during the discussion, as they clashed over their differing views on the flag's symbolism.
The debate took place between royal broadcaster and historian Rafe Heydel-Mankoo and anti-racism activist Imarn Ayton, who argued that the flag has negative connotations due to its associations with the far-right. Eamonn, who grew up in Northern Ireland, shared his own perspective on the issue, highlighting the flag's political significance in his own upbringing.
As the segment came to an end, Ayton urged Eamonn to be considerate of other people's beliefs and views, to which he responded that he had already given everyone a chance to speak. However, Ayton felt that Eamonn had validated Heydel-Mankoo's opinion by allowing him to speak last. The discussion ended with a tense exchange between Ayton and Heydel-Mankoo, with Eamonn caught in the middle.
While Eamonn is enjoying his summer break, viewers can continue to tune in to GB News to stay informed about the latest news and debates. The Agency has reached out to GB News and Eamonn's representatives for further comment.
