Eamonn Holmes Booed Accepting GB News Award in Wheelchair at TRIC London

Eamonn Holmes was booed and heckled while accepting the News award on behalf of GB News Breakfast at the Television and Radio Industries Club (TRIC) Awards, where he appeared in a wheelchair due to chronic back pain and recent surgeries. Despite the frosty reception and a heckler shouting for him to 'get off' the stage, Holmes completed his speech gracefully, thanking the production team, viewers, and paying tribute to colleague Charli Peters for his investigative work. Holmes' health issues stem from a 2021 pelvic dislocation, multiple slipped discs, and further surgeries, which have necessitated his use of a wheelchair and other mobility aids. The incident occurred amid growing public concern for Holmes' wellbeing after he revealed a fall at home that led to hospitalization. Following the event, Holmes expressed gratitude on social media for the support, highlighting the win as a recognition by thousands of voters. Fans and supporters responded positively to his post, emphasizing their congratulations and well wishes.
