Overview

  • During a June 21 broadcast, Holmes’s wheelchair struck a young producer as she blocked his return to the set after a toilet break, leaving her with a leg bruise.
  • GB News’s human resources department has opened an investigation following the producer’s formal complaint over the incident.
  • Holmes has struggled with chronic back pain since 2021, undergoing double hip replacements and spinal surgery, and now relies on a wheelchair for his morning show duties.
  • The collision follows recent on-air mishaps, including a fall from his chair last month and a hospitalisation after a home fall on May 2.
  • Despite his mobility challenges, Holmes has vowed to intensify his rehabilitation efforts in hopes of walking unaided again.
