He was seen fiddling with his microphone pack before appearing to zone out, causing viewers to flood social media with concerns about his well-being.
One viewer wrote, “It looks like Eamonn Holmes has been axed by GB News for falling asleep live on air. He has been replaced, and it’s brutal. No excuse for falling asleep on set. Unprofessional.” Another comment read: “Where have you been Eamonn? We miss you!”
