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.'
