Eamonn Holmes walks off TV show live on-air

Eamonn Holmes walked out of his GB News programme live on air after falling ill.

The presenter, who last week told The Mirror he is on “borrowed time”, raised concern when he went missing halfway through a 7:45am interview with Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Mental Health Maria Caulfield on Tuesday morning.

The usually outspoken Eamonn did not say a word during the chat, leaving his co-host Isabel Webster to grill the MP. Eamonn then fled the studio, with Isabel presenting the rest of their breakfast show solo for 90 minutes.

The news comes just days after the veteran broadcaster told The Mirror at the TRIC Awards that he was “not ok” following his split from Ruth Langsford.

A spokesperson for GB News said: “Eamonn had to finish a little earlier today as he was feeling unwell. He hopes to be back tomorrow.” Despite his poor health, a friend of Eamonn’s told MailOnline that he was in good spirits.
