Overview

  • Holmes announced on June 2 that he is now using a wheelchair following falls at home on May 2 and during a GB News broadcast on May 22 that worsened his chronic hip and back conditions.
  • The presenter said he is unable to dress, shower, or stand without aid, preventing him from following a study-led exercise regimen shown to cut cancer risk by about a third.
  • His on-air fall prompted GB News to cut to an unplanned six-minute commercial break after co-hosts Ellie Costello and Charlie Rowley rushed to assist.
  • Around the same time Holmes suffered a head injury in his bathroom that left him bruised and in significant pain, according to close sources.
  • With a history of a 2016 double hip replacement and spinal surgery in 2022, he is now undergoing rehabilitation to regain mobility and manage lingering discomfort.
