EAMONN Holmes stunned GB News viewers by bravely carrying on his live breakfast show despite a dramatic fall on air.<\/p>\n

He was hailed as a “trooper” by his colleagues – who praised him for keeping calm and carrying on.<\/p>\n

Speaking at the end of the show, Eamonn told viewers: “The chair gave way and I was lying flat on my back with my head hanging off the set.<\/p>\n

“The first hour or so I was OK because the adrenaline kicked in, but then as the morning went on I felt the aches and pains.<\/p>\n

“The worst thing is that two weeks ago I was hospitalised for a similar fall in the same area, back of my neck, head and shoulders and that’s all come back.”<\/p>\n

He added: “We’re going to have to replace the chairs because I’m not the only one to have fallen.”<\/p>\n

Commentator Charlie Rowley, who was on-screen when Eamonn fell<\/a> this morning, also paid tribute to the veteran host.<\/p>\n

He wrote on X: “Eamonn, you are the real hero for carrying on this morning. <\/p>\n

“A true professional and National Treasure who I learn from each and every week. It\u2019s a privilege working with you, Ellie Costello and the rest of the GB News family. Take care!”<\/p>\n

Fans were left concerned when a thud was heard as Eamonn fell from his chair during a morning debate. He was no on-screen at the time.<\/p>\n

At the end of the show, in conversation with colleagues Andrew Pierce and Bev Turner, Bev told viewers: “Now, if you weren’t watching earlier this morning, you will have missed our resident stunt man, Eamonn Holmes.<\/p>\n

Moment Eamonn Holmes ‘falls off his chair’ live on air with viewers left concerned as star urges ‘just carry on’<\/p>\n

“Eamonn, as we know, struggles with his health at the moment. He has some good days, he has some bad days. Well this morning it turned out it was a bad day.”<\/p>\n

“Unfortunately we have these chairs on wheels so we can jump in and out quickly.<\/p>\n

“We have to jump to the camera, we have to nip out to the loo sometimes, and sometimes we have 30 seconds to do that.<\/p>\n

“Eamonn pushed his chair back this morning and ended up on the floor.”<\/p>\n

Andrew continued: “Eamonn was flat out, 180 degree angle, saying ‘carry on’.<\/p>\n

“He shouted from under the desk, he did carry on and he got up and carried on with the show. What a trooper he is.”<\/p>\n

Bev added: “Don’t you think he’s amazing? That’s the British spirit here at GB News.”<\/p>\n
