Veteran broadcaster Eamonn Holmes was left red-faced during a live episode of GB News's breakfast show after a significant technical failure brought the programme to an abrupt halt.
The awkward moment unfolded on Wednesday morning as Holmes and co-host Isabel Webster were deep in conversation with political commentator Patrick Christys. Without warning, the broadcast's video feed froze completely, leaving audiences across the UK staring at a motionless screen for several agonising minutes.
Returning to the airwaves visibly flustered, Holmes immediately addressed the elephant in the room. "We do apologise for that," he stated, his professionalism kicking in to smooth over the disruption. "We had a little bit of a breakdown there… we do apologise for that, we lost pictures."
Co-host Isabel Webster echoed the sentiment, adding a light-hearted quip to diffuse the tension: "We were having such a good conversation as well!"
The pair swiftly attempted to get the segment back on track, reintroducing their guest to continue the political debate. The incident highlights the unpredictable nature of live television, where even the most experienced presenters are at the mercy of technology.
