Holmes has been a regular face on British television for decades, moving from early work in Northern Ireland into national broadcasting roles. His career has included long-running positions at Sky News and ITV, where he co-presented This Morning alongside Ruth Langsford.
He joined GB News in 2022 to host its breakfast programme, building on a career that began with Good Evening Ulster and later GMTV in the early 1990s.
In recent years, Holmes has spoken openly about his health, including spinal surgery and mobility challenges. The latest update has prompted support from colleagues across the broadcasting industry, while Alex Armstrong is expected to step in for upcoming programmes.
According to NHS guidance, a stroke interrupts blood flow to the brain and requires urgent medical attention, with early treatment playing a crucial role in recovery.
