Eamonn Holmes has shared a further update on his road to recovery.
The popular broadcaster has revealed in recent months he has been suffering from chronic pain which has resulted in several hospital visits and tests to try to get to the root of the problem.
Speaking on Loose Women last month, the North Belfast man revealed he had finally found the source of his pain – three slipped discs in his back which has left him using crutches.
During his battle with chronic pain, he has been sharing each step with his fans by raising awareness of the painful condition on his social media.
In his latest update, Eamonn shared a video of him training with performance coach, James Davies.
His training has been going on for the past few weeks, with James saying they have gone past the recoup stage and are now in the rehab stage.
At the moment, they’re working on strengthening Eamonn’s pelvic muscles.
In the video, Eamonn is doing a range of exercises including leg movements and some strength training. However, although it looks simple, he said it’s difficult for him currently.
He continued: “This all looks very simple, and it is very simple except it’s like learning to walk again.
“I’ve lost nerves in my right leg and there’s certain actions I can’t do, even the most simple thing. It’s hard, but it’s getting better.”
Earlier this week, the 61-year-old said he is finally beginning to see some slow but steady progress.
He tweeted: "Another session of Physio rehab - feels like I'm making progress - slowly but surely. Chronic Pain now gone because of Steroid injections - Thank God."
Fans were quick to wish the star well as he continues to return to full fitness.
One said: "Keep going Eamonn your get there, you have the majority of the UK rooting for you. Cheers."
Another added: "I feel you Eamonn. I am still having physio (privately) following a knee replacement 5 years ago. Chronic pain drags you down and I think unless you have suffered with it then it's very hard to understand. Hope you are soon pain-free."
