Eamonn Holmes is currently isolating after testing positive for coronavirus.
The Belfast man explained how the virus has 'finally caught him' and also apologised for not being able to attend events.
The broadcaster said he has had both doses of the Covid-19 vaccine and that he is coping well.
Taking to Twitter, Eamonn said: "Covid finally caught me. Thankfully I'm double jabbed.
"More than half way through my isolation and coping with the symptoms and effects well. Unfortunately I'm going to be a No Show for some Professional & Personal events.
"Just want to let everyone know why & offer my apologies."
Meanwhile, Eamonn Holmes and wife Ruth Langsford will spend Christmas apart to be with their mums.
Like many people, the couple did not get to see their elderly relatives much last year due to lockdown.
Belfast man Eamonn, 61, said: “We have this issue now, in that we’ve got a sea dividing us.
“We often have a dilemma of whether I go to Belfast, whether Ruth comes with me.
“But Ruth wants to be with her mum. My mother is 93 this year. It’s easier for us often to be apart.”
