Eamonn Holmes<\/a> has sparked an investigation at GB News<\/a> after a \u2018young female producer was hit by his wheelchair\u2019.<\/p>\n

The former This Morning presenter<\/a>, who went on to join GB News in 2022, was first spotted using a wheelchair late last year.<\/p>\n

It came after years of ill health<\/a>, first starting with a double hip replacement in 2016, before he slipped three discs in his back in 2021. He then underwent a back surgery that went \u2018wrong\u2019 in 2023, which left him needing to use a wheelchair<\/a>.<\/p>\n

However, the 65-year-old has now reportedly been caught up in an incident with a young producer involving his wheelchair.<\/p>\n

The Mail on Sunday<\/a> has reported that GB News is investigating \u2018after a young female producer was left bruised when she was hit by Eamonn Holmes\u2019 wheelchair\u2019.<\/p>\n

The publication said the incident unfolded as the woman was attempting to explain to an employee pushing Eamonn that the presenter could not return to the set to continue hosting his breakfast show following a toilet break, because the cameras were rolling.<\/p>\n

Sources at GB News said, \u2018tensions ran high as the woman said it wasn\u2019t the best time for Eamonn to return to his seat\u2019. However, there is no suggestion that he did anything wrong.<\/p>\n

\u2018Eamonn gets wheeled on and off the set because his mobility is so bad. He is really struggling to move around these days so, as part of the care that GB News are giving him, he will be wheeled to the loo if he needs to go during the programme,\u2019 one source said.<\/p>\n

\u2018Only this time there was some confusion over whether or not he could go back to his seat as the cameras were going and the show was being aired live. The poor young woman was doing her job and saying that it wasn\u2019t possible for him to go back on.<\/p>\n

\u2018There were frustrations over it from some involved and the next thing the woman gets hit and she got a bruise on her leg. It has been the talk of the studio ever since.\u2019<\/p>\n

Soon after the woman \u2018made a complaint\u2019, which GB News\u2019 HR department is now \u2018looking into\u2019.<\/p>\n

Eamonn\u2019s health woes began in 2021 when he was rushed to hospital after experiencing pain he\u2019d \u2018never felt in his life\u2019.<\/p>\n

He was then left needing to use a stick to walk, before his back surgery.<\/p>\n

Last month he was then left \u2018bruised, sore and embarrassed\u2019 after falling off his chair live on air<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Around the same time Eamonn said he \u2018can\u2019t move\u2019 anymore: \u2018I can\u2019t put on trainers, I can\u2019t change, I can\u2019t go to the showers, I can\u2019t do things, I can\u2019t stand up.\u2019<\/p>\n

Eamonn also recently confessed that he \u2018thought he was dead\u2019 after a fall at his home earlier this year, which saw his feet \u2018fly up in the air\u2019 after crashing onto a \u2018cold, hard, slippery floor\u2019.<\/p>\n

He explained: \u2018I was very worried about me. [I] fell on the bathroom floor and once I was down, I couldn\u2019t get up. It was the worst bang to my head and shoulder.<\/p>\n

The presenter is now being supported by his new girlfriend Katie Alexander, 43, following his split from wife Ruth Langsford, 65, last year.<\/p>\n
