Summary
- Colleagues' well wishes for Eamonn Holmes' stroke were seen as insincere.
- Internal sources suggest colleagues are vying for Holmes' breakfast show position.
- Holmes' health issues compounded by divorce and financial troubles.

Veteran presenter Eamonn Holmes' recent stroke has exposed alleged rivalries among his GB News colleagues. While many offered public well wishes, sources suggest these sentiments were insincere, with several reportedly 'gunning' for his job.
Discontent has simmered due to Holmes' erratic on-screen appearances and reluctance to take time off. Colleagues like Stephen Dixon and Ellie Costello are rumored to be vying for his breakfast-time role, with some viewers noticing perceived insincerity in their public messages.
The health scare occurs as Holmes navigates a difficult divorce, significant financial problems including a substantial tax bill exceeding £1 million, and a history of various ailments. Friends suggest his separation from long-term partner Ruth Langsford has been a major mistake.
Despite these personal and professional challenges, Holmes' eldest son, Declan, confirmed he is 'doing OK' in the hospital, and his children have rallied around him.
