Eamonn Holmes’ health woes
Taking to Instagram this morning, the GB News host revealed that he’s been in hospital for an issue concerning his eye.
The former This Morning favourite shared two snaps for his 767k followers to see. In both, he can be seen wearing a big patch over his right eye. In the second, Eamonn is pulling a face while in his car, with even more tape on the patch to keep it in place.
“One of these eye patches was put on in hospital and the other one by me. See if u can guess which? Ps You should see the other guy!!!!” he captioned the post.
However, the star didn’t reveal why he has an eye patch.
A source has alleged to the Daily Mail that Eamonn underwent an eye operation that wasn’t serious.
“It seems to have put him out for longer than he hoped,” a source said, though. “It’s one thing after another with setbacks… his back as well, and he’s got to have more surgery on his back, so he’s out of action.”
ED! has contacted Eamonn’s representatives for comment.
Fans send Eamonn their support
Plenty of Eamonn’s fans and followers took to the comment section to send the star their support this morning.
“Oh no!! Hope not too sore!!! X,” one fan wrote. “Gosh, hope you’re okay Eamonn?!” another said.
“Uh Eamonn this looks sore. Sending you big hugs and positive energy to get well. I hope you are ok,” a third commented.
“Hope you’re okay Eamonn, take care of yourself,” another added.

Eamonn’s accident
Earlier this year, Eamonn suffered a fall while live on air on GB News.
The star fell out of his chair while presenting the show on Wednesday, May 21, leading to his show briefly being taken off air.
Despite soldiering on, Eamonn admitted he was “really sore”. “It was a shock for me because I had a fall two weeks ago in my bathroom that hospitalised me and that hit me right in the back. And that hit me again right in the back. Really really sore, really sore,” he said.
It was later reported that GB News were potentially looking at replacing Eamonn following a string of health woes.
“He’s in pain all of the time. It’s so very sad to watch. Even though he has no feeling at all in his back at times, he is up at the crack of dawn and does three hours of live television, which he is, of course, very good at. The viewers love him, but you do have to wonder how long this is going to go on,” a pal told the Daily Mail at the time.
