News presenter Eamonn Holmes is recovering in hospital following a stroke, the broadcaster has said.
“Eamonn was taken ill last week and it was later confirmed he had suffered a stroke,” a GB News spokesperson said.
“He is currently responding well to treatment.
“Eamonn has asked for privacy as he focuses on getting better. His colleagues and everyone at GB News wish him a speedy recovery and look forward to welcoming him back to the People’s Channel when he is ready to return.”
The Belfast-born broadcaster presents GB News Breakfast with his co-host Ellie Costello.
Alex Armstrong will step in to present in his absence this week, the broadcaster added.
Angelos Frangopoulos, chief executive of GB News, said: “Eamonn is a loved member of the GB News family, and we’re with him every step of the way as he recovers.”
