Eamonn Holmes, the beloved presenter of GB News, has recently opened up about the difficulties he has faced in the past year. At 64 years old, he has been struggling with his health, particularly chronic pain, and has been seen using crutches and a wheelchair in public. This has been a rare topic for Eamonn to discuss, as he usually keeps his personal life private.
Earlier this year, Eamonn bravely shared about his mobility issues, admitting that he was on "borrowed time" and not feeling well. On top of his health struggles, he also faced a challenging time in his personal life as he and his wife Ruth Langsford announced their split after 14 years of marriage. It has been a tough year for Eamonn, but he remains grateful for the positive aspects of his life.
During an interview with The Sun at the Irish Post awards, Eamonn expressed, "It's been a tough year and I'll be glad to see the back of it. But there are lots of things to be grateful for and I hope that my health improves next year." He also attended the event with his new love interest, Katie Alexander, 42, who has been a source of happiness for him in recent months.
Eamonn and Katie were seen together just months after his split from Ruth, sparking rumors of a new romance. They have since gone on a luxurious Mediterranean cruise and are reportedly looking at homes together. An onlooker at the event shared, "Katie certainly seems to be able to put a smile back on Eamonn's face. They seem genuinely besotted with each other."
Eamonn has faced multiple health challenges in the last few years, including slipping three discs in his back in 2021, which caused him to lose full mobility. He underwent spinal surgery the following year, which kept him off the air for almost four months. However, he faced another setback when he fell down the stairs, causing him to injure his shoulder. In a recent interview on GB News, Eamonn 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."
Even before their split, Ruth also spoke about Eamonn's health struggles, expressing her concern that he may never fully recover. She shared, "I don't know how much Eamonn's mobility will improve. We live in hope. He does the physio, but there might have to be some acceptance that this might never be 100% right." She also acknowledged the challenges of being a caregiver, but shared that they manage as a family.
Despite the tough year he has faced, Eamonn remains positive and grateful for the support of his loved ones. If you have a celebrity story or news, please reach out to The Agency entertainment team through email, phone, or by visiting their Submit Stuff page. They would love to hear from you.
