Eamonn Holmes clarifies GB News absence as he breaks his silence online

Eamonn Holmes has addressed whispers about his absence from GB News Breakfast.

Regular morning audiences missed the familiar face of Eamonn alongside Isabel Webster recently, leading to raised eyebrows when Nana Akua appeared in his place on 19 August. But Eamonn was only taking a well-earned break.

The dynamic presenting duo wasn't short of news, diving into an array of topics such as recent updates on winter fuel payments, the Democratic National Convention in the US, the security detail removal faced by Prince Andrew, among others.

Even with ample news coverage, it was Eamonn's lack of screen time that caught viewers' attention, sparking chatter about his temporary replacement. Ever watchful, Eamonn noticed the buzz and swiftly moved to dispel any rumours.

Taking to X, (formerly Twitter) Eamonn deployed humour to correct any misunderstandings, jesting that his audience might be "unfamiliar with the concept of Summer Holidays," before confirming a return: "See u next week!"

With his usual blend of wit, the GB News presenter put his 1.1 million followers' minds at ease about his prompt return, reports the Express. Support flowed in for Eamonn as he enjoyed his hiatus, with Dawn Neesom, a stalwart of the channel, sending warm wishes.

Dawn couldn't help but express her sarcasm with an eye-rolling emoji, commenting: "Have a lovely time," and adding a touch of cool with a sunglasses-wearing emoji. Eamonn Holmes is set for a comeback to his presenting duties on GB News Breakfast alongside Isabel Webster, who's been steering the ship solo during his time off.

Meanwhile, after hearing the news, one fan joked: "What you are allowed a holiday? Noticed Isabelle was missing a while back too how is that allowed?"
