Kirsty Gallacher confirmed on Friday night that she would be taking a break from GB News after she discovered a tumour in her ear. The presenter, who usually co-hosts the Great British Breakfast shared the news with her Instagram followers.
She penned: “During the summer I discovered I have a tumour in the inner canal of my right ear.
“Thankfully, it’s benign and not hugely detrimental to my normal life.
“However, the tumour has caused severe tinnitus which makes it very difficult to sleep.
“Sadly my 3am starts at GB News, compounded by sleep deprivation, are exacerbating my symptoms.”
