July 2nd 2024.
On Tuesday, it was announced that Eamonn Holmes, the beloved presenter of GB News, would not be able to finish his breakfast show. This came as a surprise to many, as just last week, Eamonn had shared that he was on "borrowed time" and not feeling well after his split from his wife, Ruth Langsford, who is also a star on Loose Women.
Unfortunately, Eamonn's health struggles have been ongoing and have been taking a toll on him. Recently, he has been seen using a walking frame and crutches, and Ruth had previously mentioned that he may never fully recover. During today's breakfast show with Isabel Webster, Eamonn had to leave early due to feeling unwell.
A spokesperson for GB News shared that Eamonn had to cut his show short due to not feeling well, but he hopes to be back tomorrow. It was reported that he left around 7:45 am, during an interview with Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Mental Health Maria Caulfield.
Isabel was left to present the final 90 minutes of the show alone, and it was not addressed on air that Eamonn had to leave early. However, a friend of Eamonn's shared with MailOnline that despite having to leave, he was in good spirits.
Last week, at an awards ceremony, Eamonn had revealed that he was not okay and feeling like he was on "borrowed time." This was shortly after he and Ruth announced their separation after being married for 14 years.
Eamonn has been dealing with back problems and chronic pain for some time now. He shared that he almost did not attend the awards ceremony due to his back pain, and he needed a wheelchair and walker for support. He admitted that he was not in a good place and that his health had taken a toll on him.
The chronic pain began in 2021 when Eamonn slipped three discs, causing him to lose full mobility. He had to undergo spinal surgery the following year, which kept him off air for almost four months. Unfortunately, he suffered a major setback when he fell down the stairs and "smashed" his shoulder.
Earlier this year, Eamonn shared on GB News that his health issues had prevented him from attending his mother's funeral in Belfast last year, and he felt confined to a wheelchair. He mentioned feeling like someone was playing with his life and how he has just had to deal with it.
Last year, Ruth spoke about the "testing time" with Eamonn's health issues. She shared in an interview that she worries he may never fully recover and that taking care of him has been challenging. But as a family, they manage and support each other.
