At the time, he described his experience as "a hellish few weeks".
While speaking on GB News as he received many well-wishes to welcome him back, Eamonn said: “Well basically, I can’t walk.
“Everything up here works, but you know, it’s the legs."
He added: "[The operation has] set me back and it made me fall downstairs. My leg gave way and I fell down 18 stairs."
His co-host Isabel Webster jokingly replied: "Shouldn't have been climbing the stairs though should you, at that point?"
The North Belfast man responded: "Well what am I supposed to do? How do I get to bed? So I fell down the spiral staircase. Smashed my right shoulder."
Isabel replied: "You had to have an operation on your shoulder."
Eamonn said: "Well the first thing you did was lean on my shoulder."
Isabel responded: "Oh sorry, I did, I did, I won't be doing that again - you'll be off for another four months. Sorry about that."
