His co-host Isabel Webster, first began: “This is Breakfast with Eamonn Holmes back on the TV with me this morning.”

Updating viewers, Eamonn explained: “Thank you very much indeed I’ve had some issues with my back and legs [that are] not solved.
“[I’m] better than I was but I’m not better but I think being back to work will help speed up that process.”
“Speed up the recovery process,” Isabel added.
Back in November, Eamonn revealed that he fell down the stairs while recovering from his back operation. As a result, he fractured his shoulder and was unable to return to GB News before the new year.
Speaking on the show at the time, he said: “Last month I suffered a fall at home while I was recovering from my back operation and fractured my shoulder. It was a massive setback and means I’m going to need to take some extra time off to get myself better.
“It’s been a hellish few weeks. But day by day I’m improving, and I am remaining positive and trying to look on the bright side.”
He added: “I can’t wait to get back to work at GB News and do what I love most, presenting the news and discussing the issues of the day alongside Isabel with our wonderful viewers and listeners.”
