GB News presenter Eamonn Holmes will remain off TV for longer than originally thought after suffering a fall following major surgery.
According to the Express, the 62-year-old “tumbled downstairs” and fractured his shoulder while recovering from major back surgery at his home in Surrey.
The presenter’s representatives have said, because of this, he will remain off TV for longer than first planned.
A representative told the Express: “As a consequence of being laid low by major surgery, Eamonn suffered a fall at home a couple of weeks ago and had to undergo another operation.
“He’s naturally gutted by the setback, but the good news is the surgery on his shoulder went well.

“Sadly it means Eamonn is likely to need a longer period off TV than he first thought in order to get himself better and heal.”
Holmes had back surgery in October.
The representative continued: “Despite being in an awful lot of pain, he’s remaining positive and is looking forward to doing what he loves most and being back on TV and presenting on GB News just as soon as he can.
“Eamonn would like to say thank you for the wonderful care he has received from the NHS. He’d also like to thank everyone who has sent him get-well messages.
“Eamonn’s focus is now solely on resting, and getting better – which he is determined to do”
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
