Eamonn Holmes makes statement after being taken to hospital

Former ITV and Sky News presenter Eamonn Holmes has been taken to hospital and announced he is taking time off work. In a statement the Northern Irish broadcaster revealed that he was taking a "short time off" due to a reoccurring back problem.

Holmes has been forced to go through some unexpected hospital treatment. Yet, the GB News anchor stated he was "looking forward" to being back among his co-workers, indicating he is hoping to return sooner rather than later.

Eamonn issued a statement over his health last night (Monday, June 6), as seen in BirminghamLive. Eamonn remarked: "Hi everyone. Many of you have been asking why I haven't been presenting GB News for the past week. Unfortunately due to a reoccurrence of a long-term back condition, I've had to undergo some unexpected hospital treatment and am now following doctors' orders by taking a short time off."
