• Holmes, who presents the GB News breakfast programme, will be temporarily replaced by fellow presenter Alex Armstrong during his recovery.

• Despite his physical struggles, Holmes recently stated he remains 'mentally very much on the ball' and has found a “perfect tonic” in his new partner, Katie Alexander.
