Eamonn Holmes booed and heckled on stage at TRIC Awards ceremony
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.'

Love Is Blind UK: Meet Yolanda - And Her Very Famous Cousin
Would you get engaged to someone you've never seen IRL before? It might seem like a crazy idea, but this is exactly the premise of Love Is Blind, which has landed back on our screens for a second series. The show, hosted by Matt and Emma Willis, follows 30 singletons as they get to know each other soundproof pods, interacting just by conversation. It's only when a couple gets engaged in the pod that they meet on their honeymoon – and finally come face to face. The couples then navigate life in the real word together – which is where the real drama starts to unfold. From there, it's a matter of time who will make it to the wedding. For season two, we've already seen a stellar line up of singletons ready to find their chance at true love, including Sophie, Ashleigh and Singer. One other singleton looking to make an impact is Yolanda – who has a very famous cousin. Yolanda is a Specialist occupational therapist and a contestant on Love Is Blind. She is from Hampshire and is a self-confessed adrenaline junkie who enjoys sky diving and bungee jumping. Netflix says 'Yolanda is known as 'a 'ride or die' by friends and family, spending her days and nights looking after the people she loves the most.' Yolanda is 26, making her the youngest single on the show. However, according to Netflix she considers herself to be 'wise beyond her years.' It turns out Yolanda already has some reality TV links. Her cousin is Mimii Ngulube - whose real name is Michelle – who won Love Island last year alongside Josh Oyinsan. In fact, Yolanda even appeared on Aftersun to support her and discussed the moment Josh snogged Grace in one of the challenges. The pair have also starred alongside each other in a Boots Christmas campaign. A caption for the video read: 'Join Mimii and her cousin Yolanda as they pick out some of the best beauty and fragrance gifts from Boots this Christmas.' Yes! You can keep up to date with all things Yolanda at her handle simply_yolandita.

Everything To Know About Love Is Blind UK's Danielle Kelly
The first batch of episodes from the new season two of Love Is Blind UK have dropped onto Netflix, and fans are already hooked on the love dramas featuring a fresh batch of contestants. From Army instructor Billy Jervis Jr and Mensa hunk Kieran Holmes-Darby to 'Combat Barbie' Ashleigh Berry and medical company owner Sarover Aujla, we can't wait to see who matches with who – and more importantly, who makes it through to their wedding day. Danielle Kelly is another singleton hoping to find love in the Pods… Danielle is 33 years old. Danielle is an estate agent, who owns her own property business. Danielle grew up on Isle of Wight but now lives in Portsmouth. You can find Danielle at @imdaniellekelly Danielle says, 'My dating history has been like trying to get to a destination with no sat nav. I could do with some help!' She adds, 'I love the show and I really loved the concept. Clearly my type hasn't worked out in the past. [I wanted] to get some help and get to know someone based on their personality and character.' The business owner thinks her career success may make dating difficult. She's gone out with some bad boys in the past, who have cheated on her, so she sometimes finds it difficult to trust. But she now feels ready to be open and honest as she looks to find The One. Danielle would like to meet someone whose work ethic matches her own. She says she has no plans to pursue her usual type – 'loud guys who call attention to themselves'. Instead, this time around, she's looking for someone more low-key, who's reserved and hardworking. And most of all, finding a partner with ambition is extremely important to her. Shereen Low is a senior news and entertainment writer for Grazia UK, who enjoys watching everything from Love Island and Race Across The World to real-life crime shows and thrillers.
