Eamonn Holmes has revealed he was rushed to hospital today (Friday May 2), telling concerned fans: “Gosh it hurts.”
TV presenter Eamonn, 65, has endured a series of serious health struggles in recent years, particularly with regards to his mobility.
He underwent spinal surgery in 2022 for a slipped disc – and has made use of a wheelchair – as well as battling chronic pain.
Then, two weeks after his op, Eamonn fell down the stairs at home, leaving him with a broken shoulder.

However, the ex This Morning co-host’s trip to hospital today was not planned, it seems.
He shared a snap from inside an ambulance on Instagram, showing what appears to be his legs secured as he lay on a gurney.
“An unexpected journey this morning,” Eamonn explained in his caption.

‘A massive setback’
After suffering his shoulder fracture, Eamonn reflected on how he would need further time away from work as part of his recovery.
He said at the time: “It was a massive setback and means I’m going to need to take some extra time off to get myself better. It’s been a hellish few weeks. But day by day I’m improving and I am remaining positive and trying to look on the bright side.”
But one year on after going under the knife, Eamonn was still experiencing extensive problems.
He said in September 2023: “I can’t run, I can’t walk, I can’t do anything except watch TV and eat.”
