This Morning's Eamonn Holmes updates fans on his 'scary' medical problem

Eamonn Holmes thanked his fans for their support today as he updated This Morning viewers on his infected eye.

Yesterday Eamonn caused concern among fans as they noticed his left eye looked inflamed and he was forced to wear his glasses.

Today Eamonn gave an update on his condition and said: "Thanks to everyone who is asking about my eye, it's still very sore.

"I'm still suffering with my stye.

"It's not pretty, it's so scary looking that the glasses won't be coming off."

Yesterday Eamonn was forced to consult Dr Hilary about his eye before the show.

Eamonn wore glasses on Wednesday alongside his wife Ruth Langsford and explained the reason behind his change in appearance.

The presenter's left eye looked swollen and painful and he said he had woken up in lots of pain and was unable to see out of it.

Ruth said it was "scary" when they woke up and Eamonn said he was suffering from a stye.

A stye is a small lump on the eyelid caused by an infection.

Eamonn said he'd spoken to Dr Hilary as he came into the studio and had got a prescription from him after being examined.

Ruth said: "Yes Dr Hilary's sorted you out."

Eamonn said he thought it was best to wear his glasses and Ruth said how much she liked him in his spectacles.
