GB News presenter Mark Steyn will be off air until 2023 after he suffered two heart attacks.

GB News presenter Mark Steyn has revealed that he suffered two heart attacks earlier this month.

The 63-year-old, who hosts an 8pm show on the network, had a first heart attack without recognising the symptoms just before he went live on air.

Steyn then suffered a second, more serious heart attack while in France, where he will now remain until he is well enough to travel back to the US in the new year.

Explaining his absence from GB News of late, he said on his website: "I'm too medicated to manage artful evasions.

"I had two heart attacks. Because I didn't recognise the first one, as such, the second one was rather more severe."

He continued: "The good news is that the first one occurred when I was in London. If you get a chance to see that day's Mark Steyn Show, with hindsight, I don't look quite right in close-ups.

"By not recognising it as a heart attack, I deftly avoided being one of those stories we feature on the show every couple of nights about people in the UK calling emergency and being left in the street for 15 hours before an ambulance shows up.

"I had a second heart attack in France. With Audrey helping me in the ambulance, she told me I was 15 minutes from death."

Mark Dolan and Patrick Christys will continue to fill in for Steyn on GB News until he is given the all-clear to return to the airwaves.
