Fans quickly flocked to the comment section to show their support for Eamonn and wished him well during his break.

Regular GB News contributor Dawn Neesom, 59, also chimed in and couldn’t help but roll her eyes at the news, as she quipped ‘Have a lovely time’ and added a cool sunglasses emoji for good measure.

Meanwhile, one fan joked: ‘What you are allowed a holiday? Noticed Isabelle was missing a while back too how is that allowed?’; ‘Strange when Isabella had her holidays they weren’t worried. Enjoy your holiday!’

Eamonn is set to make his comeback on GB News Breakfast with co-host Isabel, who has been hosting the show solo during his time off, reports the Express.

It comes after he was embroiled in a fiery clash with a guest, where he snapped: ‘Don’t lecture me – give me a break!’ during a Union Jack flag debate.

Royal broadcaster and historian Rafe Heydel-Mankoo joined the show alongside anti-racism activist Imarn Ayton to debate whether the Union Jack flag is too divisive.

The debate began as Eamonn discussed the recent news that a village in Norfolk feels divided over whether to fly the Union Jack flag, with fears it will ‘scare people away’.

The debate erupted after Imarn said the British people should reconsider flying the Union Jack flag because she claims it has ‘associations with the far-right’.

As Eamonn halted their heated and controversial discussion, he ended the segment with his personal opinion after he grew up In Northern Ireland – which sparked Imarn to furiously hit back.

Eamonn said: ‘Running a flag outside a village hall in Norfolk, you sort of think what’s the big deal.’

Imarn furiously hit back: ‘Be considerate. No, be considerate guys. I know you’ve finished your segment but Eamonn I’m not going to let you finish with that one.

‘Be considerate of other people’s beliefs and views. If you are considerate and sympathetic of everyone and how we perceive the world, you might find yourself leading with equality. Just so you know, I’ll finish it there.’

Eamonn said: ‘Let me just tell you something. You don’t have to lecture me. I sit in the middle, trying to see both sides of things…’ to which Imarn interjected: ‘Well, I have too.’

Eamonn shouted: ‘I grew up in a country…’ before Imarn interrupted again: ‘You should have finished with mine [opinion] but you finished with Rafe’s [opinion]’.

Host Eamonn assured: ‘I finished with everyone. I’m trying to say you did not grow up in Northern Ireland, where a flag represented something political and anti-to a certain religion in northern Ireland, I did.’

Imarn said: ‘And just like with black people, you are not black sir and I understand racism more than you. I haven’t experienced racial discrimination or prejudice or bias in regards to being white but what I have done is experienced it being black. Ahh Eamonn, we’re the same babes.’

‘Ahh give me a break. Let’s go to the break. Back after this,’ Eamonn finished.
