GB News viewers have flocked to social media to send their well wishes to Eamonn Holmes following news of his divorce from wife Ruth Langsford.
The pair issued a joint statement over the weekend confirming their split after 14 years of marriage.
And Eamonn added a message of his own as he opened Tuesday's Breakfast with Eamonn and Isabel alongside co-host Isabel Webster.
As he kicked off the show, he said to viewers: "Before we move on, I would just like to thank people for their support for Ruth and I over the past few days.
"Your support, from both of us, is very much appreciated."
After addressing the divorce upon his return to screens, several took to X, formerly Twitter, to show their support.

A second similarly weighed in: "Must be difficult for them both at this sad time."
Meanwhile, a third also replied to a clip of Eamonn's message: "So sorry Eamonn and Ruth... wish you both well."
The backing continued over on Instagram too, with Eamonn's latest update - which related to Manchester United's FA Cup victory - being inundated with condolences.

"Very sad to hear today. Hope you’re okay Eammon," one person penned before a second Instagram user added: "So sad to hear about your news.
"You were always my dream team… I wish you both the very best going forward."
And another weighed in: "No bodies business & marriage break up is hard. I like both of you & wish you both well, it’s very sad." (sic)
Eamonn's decision to address the split on-screen follows a statement from his and Ruth's representatives which read: "Ruth Langsford and Eamonn Holmes have confirmed their marriage is over and they are in the process of divorcing."
Before moving to the People's Channel, Eamonn used to regularly co-present This Morning on ITV alongside Ruth.
They fronted the show for 15 years before exiting in 2021 and also presented several shows as a duo.
