Eamonn Holmes sparks health concerns as he misses another GB News show amid Ruth Langsford divorce
The 65-year-old did not appear on his regular spot during GB News’s breakfast show on April 8, which Holmes hosts alongside Ellie Costello. He has been battling with poor health in the wake of his split from his former This Morning colleague Ruth Langsford.
The star has been seen using walking aids, such as wheelchairs, in recent months, with his absence from the show sparking questions about his current health status. One fan posted on X (formerly Twitter) to say: “Where did Eamonn disappear to this morning? Hope he's alright."

The former This Morning presenter has suffered a series of ill health episodes in the past year. He underwent spinal surgery and a double hip replacement, with Holmes using the walking aids as a result of severe back pain.
Holmes’ team or GB News have not commented on his absence.
The TV star is currently in the process of divorcing Langsford after the couple announced their shock split almost one year ago. Langsford is said to be “desperate to be free from their marriage”, according to reports, with Holmes already moving on with partner Katie Alexander.
A source told The Mirror: “She’s still wearing her wedding ring because she’s coming to terms with a long relationship ending, and realising Eamonn maybe wasn’t the person she thought he was.

"She really needs the Eamonn chapter to be fully closed before she can move on romantically, she needs her freedom."
