Sitting in the studio, he wrote: “Wishing @drdavidbull a speedy recovery. He’s ill so I’ll be in the Weekend Breakfast hot seat this Saturday and Sunday. Do join me live from 6am on Saturday morning on @TalkTV.”
Bull is yet to post on social media about his sudden absence. Viewers quickly rushed to comment on the news, as one said: “Yayy! Well not Yayy for David, but every cloud eh! Question for you James, how will our PM deal with the visit of Zelenskyy on Sunday? A strain on the ‘special relationship’ already perhaps?”
Another added: “Sorry to hear you are poorly David but welcome home Mr Max.” A third chimed in: “Looking forward to seeing you again on Talk, James. Wishing Dr David the best and hope he feels better soon.”
