Eamonn Holmes was missing from the GB News line-up on Monday in a staff shake-up for the programme, with the star replaced by a familiar face.
The presenter, 64, usually hosts the show alongside Isabel Webster, 41, from Monday to Wednesday, however, he was notably absent from the latest show.
Instead viewers tuning in to see the former This Morning host were instead greeted by GB News regular Nana Akua, who was hosting alongside Isabel.
No explanation was given for Eamonn’s absence, with stand-in host Nana, 53 – who first made her debut on the show in 2021 – and Isabel launched straight into the day’s news which included Prime Minister Keir Starmer‘s drop in support for US Vice president Kamala Harris.
Eamonn’s replacement comes after he was embroiled in a fiery clash with a guest in which he furiously shouted ‘Don’t lecture me – give me a break!’ during a Union Jack flag debate on Tuesday.

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 on 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.

Meanwhile, Eamonn recently shocked his GB News co-host Ellie Costello by making an inappropriate comment about her boobs last week.
The presenter who recently split from wife Ruth Langsford, and Ellie were discussing people walking around topless during Britain’s latest heatwave.
A giddy Eamonn cheekily said to Ellie: ‘You’ve never seen my moobs. I’ve got one bigger than the other as well.’
Ellie burst out laughing, with Eamonn quipping: ‘It’s true! Do you not have anything that is bigger than the other one?’

Ellie seemed taken aback by the question and replied: ‘No, I also have that. I think it’s quite normal, so we can relate to that.’
Trying to get the conversation back on track, Ellie went on to say: ‘But I think topless men is not a great thing to see, especially on the high street during a heatwave.’
Eamonn’s lovelife has been in the news recently as the ex-husband of his new girlfriend Katie Alexander has broken his silence on his former wife’s new relationship.

George Alexander, who split from Katie before she began dating the GB News host, said he had a ‘lot of sympathy’ for Ruth Langsford.
In May, Eamonn and Ruth, both 64, announced their plans to divorce after 14 years of marriage and it later emerged that he was dating the blonde relationship therapist, 42.
Speaking to The Sun George, who was married to Katie between 2010 and 2022, said: ‘I have a lot of sympathy for Ruth’.
‘I have had my heart broken when my marriage to Katie ended’.
Adding: ‘It took me a couple of years to recover. I know how distraught Ruth must be feeling. She’s going through what I did after our marriage ended.’
George also insisted his former wife ‘had a heart’ so would no doubt take Ruth’s feelings into consideration.
MailOnline have contacted Katie’s reps for comment
