Eamonn Holmes wins award but apologises over 'struggle'

GB News host Eamonn Holmes has shared his latest award with fans after attending the 2023 Tric Awards. Fans have suggested that his award is a response to ‘all the haters’ as it comes after Eamonn shared an apology.

The presenter and his co-host Isabel Webster attended the pink carpet and then took to the stage on behalf of the GB News team when they were presented with the Multichannel News Programme award, reports MEN.

However, when heading to the stage Eammon apologised for his “struggle”. Last year the news host had back surgery to help tackle the chronic pain he has been suffering for a number of years as a result of slipped discs in his back.
