Eamonn Holmes' fans have thrown their support behind him after he admitted he could 'barely stand up'. The dad-of-four, 64, who claimed he was "on borrowed time" following his split with estranged wife, Ruth Langsford, also 64, has been plagued with chronic health problems - including needing a double hip replacement - in recent years. Taking to Instagram sharing a snap of himself, leaning against a door frame, sporting cream slacks and a navy sweater, he told fans his mobility is showing no signs of improvement as he shared a worrying caption, which read: "Hard to stand up, but next aim is to walk off to a birthday party today.
What about you?" Eamonn's fans flocked to support him following the post, with many congratulating him for how well he was doing. One said: "You're doing well Eamonn, keep it up xx." Another advised: "Keep moving Eamonn, as painful as it may be.
Every little movement is of benefit." A third encouraged: "Come on Eamonn, we're all behind you" while another gushed: "Looking good." The update comes after the GB News star was struggling with chronic back pain, which saw him require a high-tech wheelchair at the recent TRIC Awards.
Eamonn told the Mirror he felt as if he was on “borrowed time”, as his father died at the age of 65 from a heart attack in 1991. The former This Morning star admitted he had considered pulling out of the star-studded event as he had been in so much pain. However, his new high tech equipment allowed him to be more comfortable.
