Broadcaster Eamonn Holmes has admitted he has a 'long way to go' as he continues to suffer from health struggles. The 62 year old GB news presenter has been dealing with chronic back pain over the past year which left him in hospital. In March 2021 he was diagnosed with a dislocated pelvis and three slipped discs and has faced ongoing issues as a result.
Speaking to OK! at Wednesday's TRIC Awards, Eamonn gave an update on his health status. He said: "Hopefully bit by bit I'm getting better, I mean it's.... I've a long way to go but hopefully I'm getting better".
He continued: "I have my physio and I have my training and I try and do what I can do to get stronger". In June, Eamonn was forced to miss days of presenting duties on GB News, which he usually presents alongside Isabel Webster, due to him having to undergo "unexpected" treatment for his longterm back condition in hospital. He took to Twitter to explain his absence, writing: "Just to let you know...
"Hi everyone, many of you have been asking why I haven’t been presenting GB News for the past week," the star began. "Unfortunately, due to a reoccurence of a long-term back condition, I’ve had to undergo some unexpected hospital treatment and am now following Doctor’s orders by taking a short time off. "However, I’m looking forward to being back alongside Isabel, my Breakfast co-presenter and friend, next week.
"Even though I only joined GB News six months ago the whole team and our amazing audience have shown me immense support which has been greatly appreciated," the Irish presenter continued, taking the opportunity to thank his bosses at the news channel. "I now just need some time with my family to heal and recuperate. See you soon, Eamonn," the TV host added.
