Eamonn Holmes, the beloved GB News presenter, has been keeping his fans updated on his journey towards his next health goal. Recently, he shared a progress update, and his followers were quick to praise him for his mental resilience.
The 64-year-old has been dealing with chronic pain since slipping three discs in 2021, leading to spinal surgery the following year. And just when things seemed to be improving, he suffered a major setback when he fell down the stairs. This left him relying on a walking frame and crutches for mobility. However, Eamonn remained determined and two weeks ago, he shared with his 800,000 followers on Instagram that his next aim was to walk again, and he now has a new piece of machinery to help him achieve that goal.
In his latest update, Eamonn proudly showed off an anti-gravity treadmill that has been making it easier for him to take steps once again. Demonstrating how it works, he explained, "The reason it's called anti-gravity is because I'm being supported by a big balloon. It holds my weight while I can walk and run on this machine." He further added that the purpose of this machine is to help his legs and body remember how to move before his injury. "This gives me a certain amount of freedom, and the idea is that I build up muscle memory for the future," he said. "For now, I'll do half an hour on this. Cheers!" he concluded with a smile.
Eamonn's fans have been flooding the comment section with supportive messages as he embarks on the next stage of his recovery. Many praised his determination and mental strength, with one fan writing, "This is great, huge steps in the right direction!" Another fan acknowledged the difficulty of Eamonn's journey, writing, "Losing mobility is such a struggle. I sincerely hope things improve for you, and you will be skipping along soon." Eamonn's honesty about his health struggles has also earned him love and admiration from his followers.
In the past few years, Eamonn has been open about the challenges he has faced due to his health problems. During an episode on GB News, he shared, "I have been basically disabled for a year and a half or so, and it's horrendous. I have to have carers to do the smallest, simplest thing. It's humiliating, it's humbling, and thank goodness that the carers are available." He also expressed frustration about his situation, saying, "It's as if somebody up there is playing with my life. In the past year, I've had an operation on my back which went wrong and has confined me to a wheelchair. I've fallen and broken my shoulder. Honestly, you could not make it up." Despite all the challenges, Eamonn remains determined and focused on his recovery.
Eamonn and his wife, Ruth Langsford, recently confirmed their split after 14 years of marriage. Ruth has been a constant source of support for Eamonn, and she has also been honest about the difficulties they face as a family dealing with a care situation. "I don't know how much Eamonn's mobility will improve. We live in hope," she said in an interview. "With any care situation – and there are millions of carers in this country – it isn't always easy. It's testing, but we manage as a family." Eamonn and Ruth's fans continue to send their love and support to the couple during this challenging time.
