Eamonn Holmes is in an ‘awful lot of pain’ and ‘gutted’ about his injury
(Picture: PA)Eamonn Holmes has been left with a fractured shoulder after he fell down the stairs of his Surrey home.
The TV presenter, 62, was recovering from spinal surgery when the incident happened and has already gone under the knife to fix his injury as a result of the fall.
According to the Express, the broadcaster is now receiving rehabilitative treatment for his injuries, meaning his return to screens will be delayed as doctors have ordered him to rest for the next eight weeks.
Holmes’s representative told the outlet that he’s in an “awful lot of pain” following his fall and “gutted” by another health setback.
They said: “As a consequence of being laid low by major surgery, Eamonn suffered a fall at home a couple of weeks ago and had to undergo another operation.
“He’s naturally gutted by the setback, but the good news is the surgery on his shoulder went well. He’s now receiving fantastic care and rest.
“But, despite being in an awful lot of pain, he’s remaining positive and is looking forward to doing what he loves most and being back on TV and presenting on GB News just as soon as he can,” they continued.
His rep finished by sharing Holmes’s gratitude for the “wonderful care he has received from the NHS” and the messages of support he’s received from viewers but his main focus is now on “getting better”.
The Standard has contacted Eamonn Holmes’s rep for further comment.
In September, we reported how Holmes underwent surgery on his back after suffering from chronic pain for the past 18 months.
The broadcaster previously shared that he had been getting steroid injections in his spine after surgeons decided against operating when a trapped sciatic nerve left him struggling to walk.
However, specialists made a U-turn on their decision and operated in the hope of ending his chronic pain.
Holmes originally shared in September that he would be off the air for a “wee while” but was unsure how long for at the time, as it was dependent on his recovery.
The Northern Irish host joined GB News last year, having previously hosted Friday’s This Morning, alongside his wife, Ruth Langsford, for 15 years.
