Eamonn Holmes 'on cloud nine' as he returns to work after sharing hope for Ruth Langsford
Eamonn Holmes is said to be "floating on cloud nine" amid his return to work following his success at the TRIC Awards.
The presenter, 64, and some of his GB News colleagues were among the guests at the awards ceremony in London on Tuesday night. The channel's breakfast show, hosted by Eamonn and Isabel Webster, 41, won Best News Show.
The pair were back fronting the show on Wednesday morning following their victory at the event. Photos of the co-hosts posing with their award in the studio have been shared with fans on Instagram. The photos were part of a joint post shared by Isabel, Eamonn and sports commentator Paul Coyte, who was seen in the background of one photo.
Alongside the photos, the caption of the joint post read: "We won 'Best News Programme' at the TRIC Awards! Still floating on cloud 9 this morning - just cannot believe we've won two years in a row! Thank you to everyone who voted."
It continued: "We had some serious competition: against BBC Breakfast, Good Morning Britain and the BBC Six O'Clock News." And it was further teased in the caption: "We're going to need to buy a trophy cabinet at this rate."

The accolade comes just weeks after it was announced that Eamonn had separated from his wife Ruth Langsford, 64, after more than two decades together. A joint statement, released last month, read: "[They] have confirmed their marriage is over and they are in the process of divorcing."
Eamonn spoke to the Mirror about the separation whilst at the TRIC Awards. He told us: "I'm not OK. This is not a good time at all." Looking to the future, he further commented: "It's too early to say but I hope we can still be friends."
The event at the Grosvenor House Hotel is believed to have been his first public appearance since the news of his separation from Ruth, with whom he had co-hosted This Morning. He was seen in a wheelchair at the ceremony.

The presenter is understood to have experienced chronic back pain and is said to have suggested that he feels as though he's on "borrowed time" as his father died at the aged of 65 from a heart attack more than three decades ago. Eamonn has spoken about his own health over the years.

He referenced his health during his speech whilst accepting GB News' award at the TRIC Awards on Tuesday night. Eamonn said on stage: "Thank you very much for this award. We were up against world class programmes and that makes it a little bit more special. Sometimes we all think about imposter syndrome. I went for an operation a year and a half ago and it went wrong. I got two things in my back that I didn't want."
