GB News Viewers Panic as Eamonn Holmes Mysteriously ‘Disappears’ on Air
Eamonn Holmes and Ellie Costello made a highly anticipated return to their popular GB News breakfast show, delivering the day’s top stories and urgent news updates. However, the focus quickly shifted from the headlines to a growing concern when Eamonn unexpectedly disappeared during the broadcast.
After a sports chat with Paul Coyte, the show cut to an advert break, and when the segment resumed, Eamonn was nowhere to be found. Ellie left to navigate the newspaper review segment alone, and spoke to ex-Liberal Democrat Norman Baker and political analyst Clare Muldoon without addressing Eamonn’s absence.
Concerned viewers took to the comments section, wondering about the host’s whereabouts. One fan asked, “Where is Eamon this morning?” while another bluntly inquired, “Where is wally? Sorry Eammon!”. A third viewer speculated, “Eamon was sounding croaky just now – A&E perhaps?”
Despite the growing questions, Ellie received praise for handling the segment solo. One viewer complimented her by saying, “Ellie did well there without Eamon dominating,” while another expressed frustration, asking, “Why do they never say why someone suddenly goes missing?”.
Fortunately, Eamonn resurfaced after the newspaper segment, but no explanation was given for his temporary absence. He swiftly resumed his duties, jumping into a discussion about Jess Phillips’ response to Elon Musk’s criticism of the government regarding the Oldham controversy, reports the Express.
This is not the first time Eamonn has disappeared from the show unexpectedly. Just last month, he was replaced by Ben Leo in a presenter reshuffle that saw his former co-host swapped out without warning.
2025 has already brought changes to GB News, with Eamonn now hosting his show alongside Ellie Costello after the abrupt departure of his former co-star, Isabel Webster. While the exact reason for Isabel’s exit remains unclear, an insider told MailOnline that she was deemed “too woke and not on message” for the channel’s brand.
Eamonn’s disappearance, combined with the reshuffling at GB News, has left viewers curious about the direction of the channel and the future of its presenters.
