Television presenter Eamonn Holmes has revealed why he's been absent from our TV screens recently.
The 62-year-old North Belfast native, who joined GB News in January this year, has been plagued by health issues recently.
Back in April, Holmes – who is married to Ruth Langsford – told how he has been battling chronic pain, explaining last year that he had three slipped discs in his back which left him using crutches.

In a statement on Twitter on Monday, the former Good Morning.. host said: "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 doctor's orders by taking a short time off.
"However, I'm looking forward to being back alongside Isabel, my Breakfast co-presenter and friend, next week.
"Even though I only joined GB News six months ago the whole team and our amazing audience have shown me immense support which has been greatly appreciated.
"I now just need some time with my family to heal and recuperate. See you soon, Eamonn."
