Eamonn Holmes booed and heckled on stage at TRIC Awards ceremony
Eamonn was on stage collecting an award when the incident happened.
Eamonn Holmes attended Tuesday's Television and Radio Industries Club (TRIC) awards where he collected an award on behalf of GB News Breakfast - however, things got a big awkward.
The 65-year-old presenter used a wheelchair ramp to make his way to the stage where he expressed gratitude to the production team and viewers after being handed the award for Best News Programme. However, after being announced as the winner, audible boos were heard from the crowd.
Despite the frosty reaction, Eamonn delivered a sweet tribute to his fellow presenter Charli Peters, who had earlier won the News Presenter award for his investigative work on grooming gangs in the UK, writes The Mirror.
However, as he brought his speech to a close, things became awkward after someone in the audience heckled for Eamonn to 'get off'.
It remains uncertain whether Eamonn heard the heckling. He concluded his speech warmly, saying: 'For the thousands of people who voted, that is brilliant for us so we say thank you, thank you, thank you, to anyone who did bother to vote."
This marks the second year running that Eamonn has accepted the TRIC News award. Last year, he made his appearance with the aid of a walker and hinted at personal challenges, stating: 'So I got two things in my back that I didn't want,' seemingly referencing his medical procedure and his recent split from former co-host Ruth Langsford.
Recently, concerns have been growing for Eamonn after he gave a worrying health update to his followers. He'd been seen using a wheelchair and crutches in public regularly, sparking concern.
The former This Morning star experienced a fall at home which left him fearing he was "dead".
Eamonn described the incident as having the "sorest and most powerful" impact on his head, resulting in hospitalisation after the mishap at his residence.
"I was very worried about me. [I] fell on the bathroom floor and once I was down, I couldn't get up," he recounted.
Elsewhere at the TRIC ceremony, former Love Island star Tasha Ghouri shared her thoughts on her career direction following her recent split from Andrew Le Page, whom she met on the ITV2 dating show in 2022. The couple, who made it to the Love Island final, ended their relationship after more than two and a half years together.
The 26 year old said she is focusing on developing her presenting career rather than returning to reality dating shows. 'It's not for me personally,' Tasha admitted, referring to programs like Love Island: All Stars or Celebs Go Dating.
She added: 'I know people find love on these shows but my dating shows are closed. I'm going down a different path now. It's something I'm really passionate about. I'm happily single but I'm open to love. I'd love a family.'

This Morning's Ben Shephard red-faced as he's forced to apologise after blunder
This Morning host Ben Shephard was left red-faced during Wednesday's show, as they quickly ended an interview with GK Barry. ITV presenter Ben Shephard found himself in an awkward spot during Wednesday's episode of This Morning. While discussing GK Barry's upcoming Jungle Fever tour alongside co-host Cat Deeley, Ben struggled to keep his composure after a crude remark. As the interview drew to a close, Ben wished GK good luck on her tour. He said: "Good luck with the tour it'll be great fun! any bushes on the tour?" GK responded with "Just me," prompting Ben to quip: "Just you? Big bush." The conversation quickly descended into chaos, with all parties bursting into laughter. In an attempt to regain composure, Ben hastily cut to the competition segment, saying "Here's the competition! Take it away!" Earlier, GK discussed what audiences can expect from her new tour, which draws inspiration from her time on I'm A Me Out of Here! in 2024. The 25-year-old explained that her audience demographic has shifted since her appearance on the show, prompting her to adapt the tour to cater to her new fanbase, reports Wales Online. She told Ben and Cat: "I've got a bit of an older audience now since I'm A Celeb, so I thought this next tour, I'm going to incorporate it for the mums, the girls, the gays, the occasional boyfriend that's brought along. "I just want it to be a hen do, gone mad, bush tucker trails, loads of audience participation, celeb guests. I want it to be the best night of people's lives, minus their wedding day." Intrigued, Ben asked whether she intended to include audience-participation food challenges, but Grace revealed she was leaning towards a more adult-oriented approach, centred around drinking games. She elaborated: "I don't really know where I'd get testicles from! I think maybe I'll just make it an alcohol vibe, but I think it should be so much fun. I've been on a few (tours) but this one is bigger and better." Since her appearance on I'm a Celebrity, Grace has become an ITV regular and made history as the youngest panellist on Loose Women. This year, the 25-year-old will star in an entirely new series, Celebrity Sabotage. According to the ITV synopsis, it reads: "Each week, our gang of celebrity saboteurs will be joined by a NEW guest saboteur, including Jill Scott MBE, Fay Ripley, Olivia Attwood, Jo Brand, Guz Khan and Harry Redknapp. Who will join in on all the action and cause even more mischief and mayhem? "The show's format will see a new group of unsuspecting contestants arrive each episode, under the impression they're participating in a genuine ITV programme. Challenges will range from cooking and relationship tests to business tasks and even murder mystery games – all entirely fabricated, unbeknownst to the contestants. "To make it even more convincing, these fake shows will have believable hosts, including familiar faces such as Clare Balding, Matt and Emma Willis, Monica Galetti, Jason Fox, Sara Davies and Rylan Clark. Everyone involved, from the celebrity saboteurs and the crew to the famous hosts, is in on the secret."
