Eamonn Holmes<\/a> appeared in good health as he enjoyed a day out at the park after revealing he can’t lift himself up without the help of his careers.<\/p>\n

The TV presenter, 66, saw his health spiral when he dislocated his pelvis in 2021, in which he sustained three slipped disks.<\/p>\n

During his recovery after surgery, Eamonn then suffered a fall at his former marital home he shared with ex-wife Ruth Langsford<\/a>, resulting in him breaking his shoulder.<\/p>\n

The former This Morning presenter is now largely immobile and relies on a wheelchair.\u00a0<\/p>\n

On Tuesday, Eamonn shared a snap of himself in his car and said he’d been enjoying the mild spring weather.<\/p>\n

He wrote: ‘Just been through the Park a few times on the chair. Gorgeous Day.’\u00a0<\/p>\n

Eamonn Holmes appeared in good health as he enjoyed a day out at the park after revealing he can’t lift himself up without the help of his careers<\/p>\n

Eamonn received several messages of support from his followers who wrote: ‘Looking great Eamonn.’<\/p>\n

‘Handsome chap!’… ‘Hello handsome’… ‘Looking good Eamonn. It’s a beautiful day here in Cambridgeshire.’\u00a0<\/p>\n

It comes after Eamonn\u00a0emotionally opened up on his health battle on the Session 7 podcast and said:\u00a0‘I’m sick. I’m in a wheelchair. That’s been horrendous to deal with for two years.<\/p>\n

‘Certainly I don’t think TV wants to know you when, I mean there’s nothing you and I are talking and no one can there’s anything wrong but I can’t get up.’<\/p>\n

Eamonn said he has carers ‘throughout the day’ and that once he is sitting down he is able to do most things on his own.<\/p>\n

The former This Morning host said ‘your health really is your wealth’ before adding that he understands society finds it hard to ‘deal with’ people with disabilities.<\/p>\n

Daily Mail’s Katie Hind recently revealed what Eamonn’s GB News colleagues had been whispering about him amid his notable absence from screens.<\/p>\n

Eamonn talked about his health woes in a previous interview with the Sunday World, telling the Irish publication: ‘I have to have carers now looking after me.<\/p>\n

‘Somebody dresses me in the morning, somebody undresses me at night, somebody gets my food for me.<\/p>\n

‘I have to be tested with spinal injections to see if it will take, and then grow some life back into my spine and legs. It’s all very experimental. I’ll know next week. I’d say this is the toughest stage of my life ever. And I just battle on.’\u00a0<\/p>\n

Eamonn received several messages of support from his followers who wrote: ‘Looking great Eamonn’ and ‘Handsome chap’\u00a0<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Eamonn’s ex Ruth has recently revealed she went to therapy following her split from the Northern Irish presenter.<\/p>\n

The couple, who share son Jack, separated in May 2024 after 14 years of marriage.<\/p>\n

Speaking to Rylan Clark on BBC Radio 2, Ruth said: ‘I’ve had counselling and its the best thing I ever did.’<\/p>\n

‘All the situations and other things have come up and that was through a friend of mine who said, “Would you please maybe think about seeing my counsellor?”<\/p>\n

‘And she had helped her through a very difficult divorce. And I went, “I don’t need to see a counsellor, to tell me I’m sad”. She was like, “Honestly it’s so much more that that”.’<\/p>\n

Ruth continued: ‘Anyway, she pecked my head for so long. Eventually I said yes to shut her up, to be honest. I went, “Fine ok”.<\/p>\n

‘It’s the best thing I ever did and I’m still doing it. With your friends they’re always on your side really and they will stand by you whatever decisions you make or however you’re feeling, they’ll hold you up.<\/p>\n

‘A counsellor is very different, they look at the bigger picture, they don’t know you and they never tell you what to do. She’s never told me what to do, she’s just guided me to think in different ways about things.<\/p>\n

‘Lots of people have picked up on this saying that she said to me, which was, “Find your light”.<\/p>\n

‘Everything felt so dark and she said, “Just use that energy that your feeling anger and sadness, try and bring that energy here and find your light”‘.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Eamonn Holmes appeared in good health as he enjoyed a day out at the park after revealing he…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":339363,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[539,17376,93,44654,61,60,35027,7076,1489],"class_list":{"0":"post-339362","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-entertainment","8":"tag-dailymail","9":"tag-eamonn-holmes","10":"tag-entertainment","11":"tag-gb-news","12":"tag-ie","13":"tag-ireland","14":"tag-ruth-langsford","15":"tag-this-morning","16":"tag-tvshowbiz"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/339362","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=339362"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/339362\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/339363"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=339362"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=339362"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=339362"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
