GB News Breakfast was brought to halt today to give updates on presenter Eamonn Holmes' health. The 65-year-old broadcaster suffered a stroke last week and is currently recovering in hospital. Hosts Ellie Costello and Alex Armstrong said on Monday's segment: "We are wishing him the quickest recovery and all of our love to him. Our thoughts are prayers are with him and his family as well."

Yesterday, the former This Morning presenter posted a snap of his two granddaughters, who held up their get-well-soon cards. He shared: "As my beautiful granddaughters put it so well - I will do my best to get well soon. Thank you for all of your many, many good wishes, they give me strength."

Ellie Costello told the viewers that the team learned about Eamonn's situation "early on Saturday". She also added: "I messaged his son yesterday and said 'all of our love from the GB News family'. He said 'thank you so much, really appreciate that'.

"He is recovering well, we hear, so fingers crossed. A full and fast recovery," she continued.

Co-host Alex chimed in and described the situation as "an impossible shoe to be filling", adding: "Eamonn is not just a massive celebrity for all of the country, he is part of the GB News family.

"Seeing the love poured in through Your Say and people writing in GB News here, it's been quite something across the whole country we've seen. Eamonn, if you're watching, we really wish you all the best and get better soon."

Eamonn's Instagram post has garnered nearly 800 comments from wellwishers, including GB News Travel reporter Hayley Sparkes. She wrote: "There is so much love for you Eamonn - you are in all our thoughts and prayers - wishing you a speedy recovery and sending the biggest hugs from me, Luna and Ben."

Another said: "Sending all my love and healing vibes Eamonn - you can do this - it's that Celtic spirit."
