Grey-faced Eamonn Holmes shares snap of himself on physio table as he battles chronic pain

Eamonn Holmes has vowed to beat the chronic pain he's suffering as he shared a selfie from the physio's table.

The telly presenter, 61, has admitted he's been struggling for some time and "just can't get it to go away".

He's now undergoing physiotherapy in an effort to tackle his condition, and Eamonn snapped a picture of himself as he readied himself for his treatment.

With his head poking through the hole in the table, Eamonn looked grim-faced as he admitted he's "hurting like hell".

In a post on Twitter, he wrote: "Starting the day by tackling the pain from the night before... On the Physio table. Chronic pain. Just can't get it to go away.

"Sadly so many of you know the feeling. Thanks for sharing your stories. I'm determined to beat this... however much it hurts."

Eamonn added in a post on Instagram : "My start to the day... on the physio table looking down on the camera and hurting like hell."

One fan commented on his post, writing: "Maintenance" and Eamonn joked: "Rebuild more like mate."

He even got some advice from This Morning doctor Zoe Williams, who told him: "Grit those teeth. Remember it’s good pain."

It's been a rough week for Eamonn as he admitted the pain has been keeping him awake at night.

On Friday night, he took to Twitter in the early hours of the morning to tell his followers he has been struggling to sleep because he's in agony.

He wrote: "In that Twilight Zone between Night time and Morning. Anyone else find these Hours the worst.... particularly if you suffer Chronic pain ?"

When one fan told him she suffered pain in her knees and coccyx after years of playing hockey, Eamonn responded: "No one told us all the pleasure would lead to this pain Kate.

"Thinking of you . Hope u can fall asleep again.."

Another of Eamonn's followers told him she has fibromyalgia and a complex pain syndrome, and Eamonn replied: "Poor you Sandra..... no one really understands do they ? Sending you the most positive of wishes."

Another follower suggested the star tries CBD oil, and Eamonn admitted "everything is worth a try".
