The presenter, 64 – who has been struggling with ill-health in recent years – left viewers worried when he disappeared live on-air.

It comes after Eamonn admitted that he was “not ok” after arriving at the TRIC Awards last week alone in a wheelchair, following his split from wife Ruth Langsford.

Eamonn was presenting his GB News Breakfast show on Tuesday morning when he became unwell, reports the Mail.

The broadcaster went missing mid interview with Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Mental Health Maria Caulfield.

Eamonn was noticeably quiet throughout the segment, leaving his co-host Isabel Webster to ask the questions.

He then left the desk while off-screen, as Isabel continued to present the final 90 minutes without him.

Eamonn’s absence went unexplained at the time, but now a GB News spokesperson has said that the star was forced to leave early due to ill health.

They said: “Eamonn had to finish a little earlier today as he was feeling unwell. He hopes to be back tomorrow.’

Eamonn – who is struggling with chronic pain – had a double hip replacement in 2016, followed by surgery last year, which left him using a wheelchair.

The TV star was nominated for the Best News Presenter and Best News Broadcast at last week’s TRIC Awards- and was even considering not attending due to his ill-health.

He arrived at the glitzy event in a wheelchair and later used a walker to get around.

After GB News were announced as Best News programme, Eamonn told the audience: “I wasn’t going to come, but I’ve got this new chair with all these gadgets.

“I had an operation a year and a half ago, and two things went wrong so I have two things in my back I don’t want.

“So I’ll happily accept this.”

It comes weeks after Eamonn and Ruth announced that they had gone their separate ways last month.

Speaking about their split at the awards ceremony, Eamonn said: “I’m not OK. This is not a good time at all.”

He added to The Mirror: “It’s too early to say but I hope we can still be friends.”

The TRIC Awards in 2022 was the last time that he was spotted with Ruth.

While Eamonn’s close friend and co-host Isabel Webster, 41, also opened up about his “difficult” split from Ruth Langsford saying “he’s the strongest person I know”.

She said she has shown her support for the pair since their shock split.

The Sun caught up with Isabel on the red carpet outside the TRIC Awards and asked how Eamonn has been getting on.

When asked if she has support him during his split from Ruth, Isabel said: “100 per cent.

“I love Ruth and I love Eamonn and I’ve got nothing but love for them.

“I wish them all the very best – divorce is difficult for anyone.

“When you’re in the public eye, it’s got to be even more difficult

“I’ve been in touch with Ruth but you’ll have to ask her about her divorce.”
