GB NEWS PRESENTER EAMONN HOLMES ASKED FANS TO 'THINK OF HIM' AS HE SHARED A HEALTH UPDATE WITH A THROWBACK PICTURE ON SOCIAL MEDIA 08:02, 30 May 2025 Eamonn Holmes asked fans to

'think of him' after sharing a sad update on his health on social media. The former This Morning presenter, 65, was recently taken to the hospital after falling off his chair while

presenting the GB News Breakfast show with his co-host Ellie Costello. A crash could be heard while the camera was focused on their guest, commentator Charlie Rowley. Ellie could be heard

saying “oh my gosh” off-screen, and Eamonn pleaded with Charlie to “carry on” before the presenter returned to the show following a break. The presenter has been working hard on his

rehabilitation after undergoing spinal surgery in 2022 for chronic back pain caused by three slipped discs. READ MORE: 'My five-star Simba mattress is like sleeping on a giant cushion

and it's £600 off' Over the last year, he has been seen using a walking aid and a wheelchair as his mobility has become affected. A week after falling off his chair on GB News, the

star took to Instagram to reminisce about when he was healthier. He shared a snap of himself rocking a white shirt, black trousers, matching tie and a black overcoat as he stood with his

hands in his pockets ready to present a news segment. Eamonn said: "This pic tells me this was 3 years ago in my Home City of Belfast. I was making a big extravaganza featuring The

Ulster Orchestra and Film and TV music associated with famous producers. Article continues below "It actually made me very sad looking at it because I could walk then and can’t now . I

pray to God and the new Docs that I am seeing that all will change and change soon . Keep you posted and please think of me." Fans and friends immediately shared their well wishes, with

one user writing: "Hang in there. Am sure it’s incredibly hard and dispiriting; but here’s hoping that better days are to come." Another said: "This was my very first TV gig

and it was such a special privilege to work with you Eamonn, you gave me amazing support and solid advice at working in the industry. Wishing you all the very best in your healing and thank

you for being an inspiration." "I hope they can help you Eamonn. I’m recovering from spinal surgery. It’s a long haul to recover but worth it. Sending positive thoughts for a good

outcome for you," another said. When he fell off his chair on TV, he joked about the 'wonky wheels' at the studio. Following an ad break, Eamonn said: "Welcome back. Good

to see you again. Especially good for me to see you again. I am still alive, yes. “And they’re very wonky wheels on chairs that we’ve got here, and matter of fact, we don’t really like the

chairs full stop, do we? They’re a bit slippy and slidey and I’ve slipped and slid off mine there.“Not the first guest to have done so, we’ve had a few, they have to remain nameless because

they’re well known people, but they’ve hit the floor really badly, quite frightening.“And it was a bit of a shock for me because I’ve had a fall in my bathroom two weeks ago, which

hospitalised me, and that hit me again right in the back. (I’m) really, really sore. Really sore.” FOLLOW MIRROR CELEBS ON TIKTOK, SNAPCHAT, INSTAGRAM, TWITTER, FACEBOOK, YOUTUBE AND
