GB News Viewers Urge for Eamonn Holmes to Be Replaced by New Guest Host

Eamonn Holmes was notably absent from his usual spot on GB News Monday morning, as the 64-year-old broadcaster took a break from the popular breakfast show to enjoy a romantic getaway in Barcelona with his new girlfriend, Katie Alexander, 42. Holmes and Alexander were spotted at Barcelona Port after flying in from Heathrow, with Katie seen carrying their bags as they prepared for a Mediterranean cruise.

Dawn Neesom, 59, stepped in to co-host alongside Isabel Webster and quickly won over viewers with her bold commentary and stylish appearance. Many fans took to X (formerly known as Twitter) to praise her performance, with one writing, “Love YOU, Dawn, you know how to brighten up a Monday.” Others commented on her eye-catching outfit, with one saying, “Nice outfit Dawn. You’ve cracked it again.”

Neesom’s bright pink trouser suit with large black buttons caught the attention of many, while Webster, 41, also impressed in a canary yellow pencil dress. Fans of the duo praised their chemistry on-air, with one calling them the “Dream Team” and adding, “You’re energetic, opinionated, and covering a large variety of stories.”

Addressing Holmes’ absence, Neesom explained on-air, “Our lovely Eamonn is on holiday, I am sure you have seen the picture. And that is why I am here with the lovely Isabel.” The two hosts appeared radiant, complementing their summery looks, reports Daily Express.

This romantic getaway marks Holmes and Alexander’s second trip together in recent weeks. They were previously seen in Belfast, Ireland, and now embark on a sun-soaked Mediterranean cruise. Holmes, who has faced severe back problems in recent years, was seen using a mobility scooter while Alexander assisted with their luggage.

Holmes’ new relationship comes months after his split from longtime wife Ruth Langsford, with whom he was married for 14 years. The former This Morning presenters share a son, Jack, who is currently studying at university. While Holmes enjoys his vacation, Langsford, 64, has remained in the UK, focusing on her work commitments, including her regular spot on Loose Women.
