He is reported to be responding well to treatment, according to statements from his family and his employer.

His son, Declan Holmes, said the family is "taking it one step at a time" and requested privacy as they support his recovery.

The broadcaster's family expressed gratitude for the messages of support they have received.

GB News chief executive Angelos Frangopoulos described Holmes as a "loved member of the GB News family" and confirmed the organisation is supporting him throughout his recovery.
