TV Legend Eamonn Holmes, 66, has been hospitalized after suffering a stroke – only weeks after his worrying ‘sleeping on air’ incident. The beloved former This Morning star is now being treated in a hospital ward after falling ill on Tuesday, with no clear timeline for his return to TV. Eamonn, who had been scheduled to return to his GB News breakfast show on Monday (April 13), now faces a long recovery, with Alex Armstrong stepping in as his replacement.
In a twist that has shocked fans, Eamonn had sparked concern in March when he appeared to doze off on air. He quickly dismissed the rumors, saying he was just “looking down” at his mic pack, but the incident only fueled worries about his health.
For months, Eamonn has been battling a series of ongoing health issues, including a painful back condition that has left him dependent on crutches. His battle intensified after he suffered a stroke last week, with GB News confirming the diagnosis.
But what’s next for the star? Eamonn’s colleagues and viewers have sent their love and support, but only time will tell when the TV icon will be able to return to his role on the channel.
Health Struggles Continue:
Eamonn’s health issues date back to 2021, when he suffered three slipped discs and a dislocated pelvis, which required extensive surgery. His troubles worsened over time, and he began using a wheelchair after his surgeries. Despite these challenges, the 66-year-old remained a staple on television until recent setbacks forced him to take time off.
“It’s been tough,” he admitted last month. “I’ve had this paralysis problem for years now, and I’m still hoping for a cure.”
He also suffered a horrific fall at his Surrey home, fracturing his shoulder. But, is this the final chapter for the former This Morning host? Only time will tell as Eamonn focuses on his recovery. His fans, friends, and colleagues are all hoping for a swift return.
