Good Morning Britain star opens up on painful health condition which makes him 'struggle everyday'
Richard Arnold opened up on his health battle.
Good Morning Britain's Richard Arnold has opened up on his painful health condition. During a discussion on the ITV show on Wednesday morning, the showbiz correspondent said he was suffering from a painful issue with his foot.
Richard was talking about Sir Rod Stewart's running plans with hosts Richard Madeley and Susanna Reid when talk turned to Rod's wish to be a sprinting world record holder. Richard then revealed he was suffering from his own health issues, writes The Mirror.
The 55 year old said that he has plantar fasciitis, which is a condition that causes pain on the bottom of your foot, the heel and the arch, with many people suffering from the injury.
The GMB team were talking about Sir Rod Stewart 's plans to beat a 100m world record. The Maggie May rocker has a running track in his garden and has been practicing every day in a bid to beat the previous time set.
Rod said previously: "I've got it down to 19 seconds by learning how to push off. Now I'm going for 17 seconds, which I think would be a world record for someone my age."
He added: "I keep myself very fit. I played soccer all my life don't play much anymore after a knee replacement but I've had the same trainer for 38 years. I've got a huge gym, an indoor pool, a golf course you name it."
Rod's inspiration is Frank Sinatra. He shared: "He told me the secret to being a great singer is having powerful lungs. So do lots of underwater swimming and hold your breath."
Earlier this week, the singer revealed that he has one request for the crowd coming to see him at Glastonbury. The 80-year-old icon takes the stage for the legend slot at the festival later this month.
Hoops superfan Rod wants to see a wave of green and white when he belts out his biggest hits from the iconic Pyramid Stage and is asking his fans to wear Celtic FC shirts to help him achieve the dream.
Rod appeared on the Zoe Ball Breakfast Show on BBC Radio 2 this week and revealed his hope for the much anticipated performance on Sunday, June 29.
Throughout the years, various different artists have performed during the legend slot, such as Shania Twain, Diana Ross, Tom Jones and Lionel Richie. And Glastonbury fans have a history of showing up dressed as the artist they are there to see.
Zoe asked Sir Rod if he was expecting to see members of the crowd show up wearing his signature leopard print style, or even donning wigs in tribute to his much loved spiky, tousled look barnet.
Rod joked with Zoe as he said: "My fans usually wear Celtic shirts now.
"They're all in Las Vegas in the front row with their Celtic shirts - most of them don't know what the goalkeeper's name is, but their intention is good."
"I do hope there are a few Celtic flags up at Glastonbury," he continued.

Loose Women star admits she is ‘absolutely devastated' as her friend and co-star has been axed in brutal ITV cutbacks
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) LOOSE Women star Nadia Sawalha has revealed she's 'devastated' after a friend and co-star was axed from the show amid the brutal ITV budget cuts. It was recently reported that as of next year Loose Women will drop its live studio audience as part of a series of cost-cutting changes. 3 Nadia has revealed she's 'devastated' after a co-star lost his job on Loose Women Credit: YouTube 3 Lee has been the show's warm-up act since 2017 Credit: ITV 3 Kaye confessed she's had sleepless nights over the changes Credit: Shutterstock Now Nadia, 60, has confirmed the huge change and told how it means one of her friends will no longer have a job on the show. Speaking in her latest YouTube video with husband Mark Adderley, she said: 'From next year there will be no Loose Women audience. 'I am totally devastated by this fact, I can't get over it at all. Not only because the audience is so important for the show, but also my dear friend Lee who I work with every day.' Comedian Lee Peart has been the Loose Women warm-up act since 2017. Last month it was announced that Loose Women will air for only 30 weeks of the year from January. The shock move came as part of broader budget reductions across the channel, which also included halving Lorraine's airtime to 30 minutes and airing it only during school term times. Nadia's fellow Loose Women star Kaye Adams recently broke her silence on the chaos at Loose Women, admitting she's had sleepless nights over the cuts. Speaking on her podcast, How To Be 60, Kaye said she felt as though 'the rug had been pulled' from underneath her. The 62-year-old confessed: 'It did come out of the blue. "I didn't anticipate it, which is probably stupid in retrospect. You get into a sort of rhythm of life. Watch as Kaye Adams breaks silence on Loose Women cuts "I had a couple of sleepless nights I have to say, because it's just like the rug's been pulled from under your feet – what has been familiar.'

"We'd talked about projects previously, but for me it was about finding the right thing. Hostage was perfect – me and Matt together backed up by this brilliant, supportive team. I loved it." The series will see Jones's character's husband kidnapped, and Delpy's visiting French president blackmailed, leaving the two leaders to face unimaginable choices. Article continues below The show will see the duo forced into a fierce rivalry where their political futures, and lives, might hang in the balance, as they are forced to work together to uncover the plot that threatens them both. Writer Charman said of the show: "I've been dying to find the right story to tell with Suranne and I honestly believe what she's done with this character is going to blow the Netflix audience away. "An embattled British PM in the middle of a fight for her country and her family – she's fierce, ruthless and you can't take your eyes off of her." Article continues below Jones rose to fame playing Karen McDonald on ITV soap Coronation Street, and the actress is due to star in the third series of BBC police drama Vigil, which is being filmed this year with a release date yet to be announced.
