Eamonn Holmes recently shared a concerning update about his health, revealing that he is now "wheelchair laden." The 65-year-old GB News presenter has been facing mobility issues for a few years now and has been seen using crutches, a walking frame, or a wheelchair in public. In the past, he has mentioned that he feels like he's on "borrowed time" and that he's not able to take care of himself anymore.
During a recent segment on GB News alongside his co-host Isabel Walker, Eamonn discussed the upcoming Christmas travel issues. As they talked about alternative ways to get home for the holidays, Eamonn mentioned that he is now "wheelchair laden" and has to rely on others to help him. He also shared that it's been difficult for him to navigate public transportation in his current condition.
Isabel acknowledged that this is a consideration for many people in similar situations as Eamonn's. It has been a challenging year for the presenter, who split from his wife Ruth Langsford in May after 14 years of marriage. He has since been open about his new relationship with Katie Alexander, a relationship counselor who reportedly wants to take care of him, especially since he's struggling with his legs and back.
The couple has apparently moved in together, and they were recently seen at the Tric awards, with Eamonn using crutches to get around. They also went on a luxury cruise in the Mediterranean, where Eamonn was seen in a wheelchair at the airport. However, there have been reports that Ruth removed a £2,000 stairlift from their former home, which left Eamonn feeling upset as he struggles with stairs.
In 2021, Eamonn slipped three discs in his back, which caused him to lose full mobility. He underwent spinal surgery the following year, which left him off the air for four months as he recovered. However, he suffered a major setback when he fell down the stairs, causing him to "smash" his shoulder. Just days before announcing their split, Ruth spoke about Eamonn's health struggles, saying that they might never improve completely.
On GB News, Eamonn has been open about his chronic pain and difficulty walking, sharing that he has been "basically disabled" for the past year and a half. He also mentioned that he has to rely on carers for even the simplest tasks, which can be humiliating and humbling. However, he is grateful for the availability of carers.
