Eamonn Holmes rushed to hospital after bathroom fall amid ongoing health struggles
TV presenter Eamonn Holmes has been taken to hospital after suffering a fall at home.
The 65-year-old broadcaster, best known for his time hosting This Morning, shared the news on social media, posting a photo taken from inside an ambulance.
'An unexpected journey this morning,' Holmes wrote in his post.
'Bit of a fall on the bathroom floor. Gosh it hurts. Thank you Ambulance crew.'
Holmes, who now fronts a breakfast programme on GB News, has faced several health challenges in recent years.
He previously underwent spinal surgery and a double hip replacement, and has spoken openly about mobility issues that have left him reliant on a scooter and daily support from carers.
The fall comes during what Holmes has described as a 'tough year,' both physically and personally.
He and his wife, fellow presenter Ruth Langsford, announced their separation in 2024 after 14 years of marriage and nearly three decades together.
Speaking about his condition in The Sun, Holmes said: 'I have been basically disabled for a year and a half or so and I have to have a carer to do the smallest simplest things and it's humiliating and humbling – but thank goodness that carers are available.'
Holmes and Langsford first began dating in 1996.
He and Gabrielle, with whom he shares three children, separated in 1994.
After six years together, Holmes and Langsford had a son, and in 2010, they tied the knot in a ceremony at Elvetham Hall in Hampshire.
The couple went on to co-host several shows including Gift Wrapped, How the Other Half Lives, and Do the Right Thing with Eamonn and Ruth.
Despite their split, the pair are said to be 'determined to stay friends and keep things amicable.' Holmes is now reported to be in a new relationship with Katie Alexander.
There has been no update yet on his current condition following the fall.

Dakota Johnson and Chris Martin split: Sources are dropping more info on why the couple actually broke up
Dakota Johnson and Chris Martin are over after eight (on-and-off) years together, and there's more information about about the why of it all. By which I mean sources are out here telling Page Six that Dakota "was sick of him dragging his feet on setting a date for the wedding." Oh and another insider added that "They broke up over Chris Martin not wanting to have more kids," which falls in line with what a source told The Sun. Ahem: "They really tried to work through their issues but the age gap was often a problem and she'd expressed that she may want children in the future, whereas Chris is kind of done with that part of his life but they discussed it... They made some beautiful memories as a family and it'll be hard for both of them to move on after such a long relationship but they will do it." Meanwhile, the Daily Mail spoke to someone who claims Dakota and Chris' relationship has actually "been over for a long time, they just haven't been able to figure out to make it official." "Dakota held a flame for them to be together because she loved him so much and loved his kids so much," they explained. "Breakups aren't instant and they continued to breakup and makeup and sometimes things would work when they were away from each other, while they were working because absence makes the heart grow fonder, but then they'd get back together and little things just kept adding up to where they weren't right for each other anymore. Dakota is devastated that she isn't going to be around his kids as much anymore, but wants them to know that she is always there for them." Neither Dakota nor Chris have commented on their split, but they do seem to be amicable based on Chris shouting out his ex's new movie The Materialists. Cosmopolitan UK contacted representatives for Dakota and Chris for comment.

Laurence Fox could face trial in 2027 over upskirting photo of TV star
Laurence Fox could face trial in 2027 over allegations he shared a compromising photo of TV star Narinder Kaur on social media. The actor-turned-activist is alleged to have shared a compromising image in a tweet posted in April 2024 of Kaur, 52, who appears regularly on Good Morning Britain and has previously appeared on GB News. Ms Kaur, who has waived her right to anonymity, sat in the public gallery at Woolwich Crown Court on Thursday as Fox, of Peldon in Essex, appeared charged with two counts under the Sexual Offences Act 2003. The 47-year-old defendant is accused of sharing a photograph of a person's genitals 'intending that the person or another person would see the genitals, and for the purpose of obtaining sexual gratification, and being reckless as to whether that person would be caused alarm, distress or humiliation' in the first count. The second count alleges he shared a photograph which showed, or appeared to show, 'another person in an intimate state, with the intention of causing that person alarm, distress or humiliation'. The court hearing on Thursday was listed for plea and trial preparation but Fox, who was wearing a white shirt and grey blazer with jeans, was not asked to enter any pleas. A provisional trial with a time estimate of four days was set for December 6 2027 at the same court, with Fox granted bail to appear for a further case management hearing on November 14 this year. Sarah Forshaw KC, defending, asked the court if it would be possible to look at whether other venues may be able to accommodate an earlier trial as 'December 2027 is a long way ahead'. The police previously said Fox had been 'charged with an offence contrary to section 66A of the Sexual Offences Act 2003' which 'relates to an image that was posted on a social media platform in April 2024'. Section 66A of the Sexual Offences Act relates to 'cyber flashing'. The charge, introduced in 2023, makes it an offence to intentionally share a sexual image of someone without consent, with the aim of causing alarm, distress, humiliation or for sexual gratification. Upskirting, taking pictures of people under their clothes without their permission, became a specific criminal offence in 2019. Offenders can face up to two years in jail and be placed on the sex offenders' register. Fox was fired from GB News in October 2023 after an on-air rant about journalist Ava Evans. He previously starred as James Hathaway in ITV's drama series Lewis.

Kim Zolciak and Kroy Biermann Forced by U.S. Marshals To Move Out of Mansion — Report
When Kim Zolciak and Kroy Biermann's mansion in Atlanta went into foreclosure last December, we foolishly assumed that would be the end of their home drama. We were wrong because apparently, the Real Housewives of Atlanta alums continued to occupy the house for months after the foreclosure. It actually took a team of U.S. Marshals to get them out of there. Kim and Kroy's mansion went up for auction on December 3, 2024 after the couple spent months and months trying to find a buyer. They couldn't afford the house, and it turns out that selling a gently used 15,000-square-foot mansion is easier said than done. In the days leading up to the foreclosure, moving trucks were spotted outside of the house. Insiders said that both parties moved to separate rental properties. However, a new report from The Sun explained how the new owners of the mansion have been going through a lengthy legal process to get Kim and Kroy to leave. On December 21, the new owners filed legal paperwork to officially kick Kim and Kroy out of the home. They said that the estranged couple were holding the premises 'over and beyond the term' they agreed. According to the court docs, this went on for months. When they failed to get out of the house, the new owners had to enlist the help of the U.S. Marshals. Four marshals showed up at the McMansion on April 8, 2025, around 3:30 pm. Three hours later, the marshals confirmed that the RHOA alums were 'ejected' from the residence. Throughout Kim and Kroy's messy divorce, they repeatedly dialed 911 to have the police help them settle their arguments. Now that the marshals have given them the boot, we can confidently say we've reached the end of this saga. The Real Housewives of Atlanta streams on Bravo and Hayu in the UK and Ireland. TELL US – ARE YOU SURPRISED THAT KIM AND KROY CONTINUED TO OCCUPY THEIR MANSION AFTER THE FORECLOSURE? The post Kim Zolciak and Kroy Biermann Forced by U.S. Marshals To Move Out of Mansion — Report appeared first on Reality Tea.
