Eamonn Holmes has issued an emotional health update to his followers.
The former This Morning presenter, 65, has been battling health issues since an operation in 2022, and last week, he fell off his chair while presenting on GB News.
Posting a throwback snap on social media today, Eamonn said a picture of him broadcasting made him upset as he now can’t walk.
“Great picture popped up from 3 years but it’s made me sad - I could walk,” he wrote. “Got to redouble my efforts.”

The presenter suffered the fall on GB News while the camera was focused on commentator Charlie Rowley. A loud crash could be heard off-screen, prompting Holmes’ co-host Ellie Costello to exclaim: “Oh my gosh!”
A visibly stunned Rowley immediately moved to help Holmes, but the veteran host quickly reassured viewers, saying: “I'm fine, I'm fine. Carry on, carry on.”
Rowley attempted to continue the segment, but producers swiftly cut to an extended six-minute advert break.
In March, Holmes told his followers he is in constant pain.
"Even when the sun shines there’s pain,” he said, sharing a selfie to his 782,000 followers.
"Sometimes I feel I’ll never beat this disc immobility but I’m determined to have a life.
“So pray for me, help me or get out of the way social media haters.”
Holmes has frequently been pictured either in a wheelchair or relying on walking aids and turned to various therapies to aid his rehabilitation.
The presenter falling off his chair on GB News comes just weeks after he fell in his bathroom, suffering the “sorest and most powerful” knock to his head.
He had already revealed on Instagram that he had been hospitalised following the fall, but recalled the accident later in more details on GB News.
Holmes said he was fortunate to have his phone within reach and was able to call for an ambulance.
Last year, Holmes and his ex-partner Ruth Langsford confirmed that they were set to divorce after 14 years of marriage and 27 years together.
Issuing a joint statement, a spokesperson for the former couple - who share one grown-up son - said: "Ruth Langsford and Eamonn Holmes have confirmed their marriage is over and they are in the process of divorcing."
