Eamonn Holmes fell off his chair on live on air on Wednesday morning, shocking his GB News co-stars.
As the camera focused on commentator Charlie Rowley at 6:15am, a crash could be heard off screen and the broadcaster’s co-host Ellie Costello exclaimed ‘oh my gosh.’
Eamonn was heard saying: ‘I’m fine, fine, fine, carry on, carry on.’
A stunned Charlie tried to continue but the early morning news programme then cut to adverts seconds later.
After an extended six minute break, Eamonn returned to screens, joking: ‘I’m alive’ as he blamed the ‘wonky’ wheels on his chair.
‘They’re very wonky wheels on chairs we’ve got here, as a matter of fact we don’t really like the chairs here,’ he said to his co-host Ellie Costello.
‘It was a shock for me because I had a fall two weeks ago in my bathroom that hospitalised me and that hit me right in the back.’
