Eamonn Holmes rushed to hospital after fall at home
The broadcaster, who previously hosted ITV daytime series This Morning, shared the news on Friday (2 May), posting a photo of his view from the ambulance.
'An unexpected journey this morning,' he wrote, adding: 'Bit of a fall on the bathroom floor. Gosh it hurts . Thank you Ambulance crew.'
In recent years, Holmes, who co-hosts a breakfast show on GB News, has suffered setbacks with his health, undergoing spinal surgery and a double hip replacement.
He uses a mobility scooter due to struggles with walking and requires the support of carers.
He has also been going through a divorce from his wife Ruth Langsford since 2024. The former presenting couple, who were axed from This Morning in 2020, had been together since 1996.
Following the divorce announcement, Holmes reflected on his 'tough year' with his health, telling The Sun: '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 Langford, both 65, wed in 2010, and were said to be 'determined to stay friends and keep things amicable'. Holmes has a new girlfriend, Katie Alexander.
The host has three children with his first wife, Gabrielle, whom he married in 1985. Their relationship ended in 1994. He began dating Langsford two years later, but the pair kept their romance a secret out of respect for Gabrielle.
After six years together, Holmes and Langsford had a son together and, in June 2010, they married at Elvetham Hall in Hampshire.
Holmes previously suggested that his health problems caused issues in his marriage to Langsford, stating: 'Even my own family are bored of my moaning.
'It has caused some strain and Ruth is fed up of hearing about it and of me saying I can't walk the dog or tidy up, but I can't help it. It's agony.'
'Even my own family are bored of my moaning,' he said. 'It has caused some strain and Ruth is fed up of hearing about it and of me saying I can't walk the dog or tidy up, but I can't help it. It's agony.'
Over the years, the couple have hosted a number of shows together, including ITV quiz show Gift Wrapped (2014), Channel 5's How the Other Half Lives (2015-17) and dieting series Lose a Stone in Four Weeks, which debuted on Channel 4 in 2019.
They also presented Eamonn & Ruth's 7 Year Itch (2017) and Do The Right Thing with Eamonn and Ruth (2018-19).

Rylan Clark calls for more stories about transgender people amid ‘wave of hate'
TV and radio presenter Rylan Clark has called for there to be more stories about transgender people amid a 'mass wave of hate'. In an appearance at the Edinburgh TV Festival, Clark, 36, who has presented on This Morning and Big Brother's Bit On The Side, spoke about the adversity LGBT+ people can face, as well as his own experience growing up gay. He said: 'I feel that there is a mass wave of hate just sweeping the community, especially trans people at the moment. 'There's a lot of people that are talking about bathrooms and spaces and things like this and people are just being tarnished with the same brush.' The presenter explained there is a mindset that because one transgender person does something bad 'that means all trans people are awful people'. He said: 'Trans people … they're going through a wave of hate at the minute, and I think there is space to show real stories, real trans people. 'A lot of people out there think trans people are the enemy, f*** me. 'I'd like you to walk a mile in their shoes and see who the real enemy is out there to people, because the stories that I know of friends of mine and people that I've grown up with, transitions are awful, absolutely awful.' Over the Easter period, the Supreme Court declared that the words 'woman' and 'sex' in the Equality Act refer to a biological woman and biological sex. The Equality And Human Rights Commission's interim update on the implications of the judgment said transgender people should not use toilets and other services of the gender they identify as. Trans rights protests took place across the country following the ruling and celebrities showed their support by signing an open letter in solidarity with transgender people. At the end of July, the London Trans Pride saw a record-breaking turnout of about 100,000 people, making it 'the largest Trans Pride event in history', according to organisers. Clark said he does not want or need Pride but added that the annual celebratory event is needed because of the way LGBT+ people are treated. At the Scottish TV event, the BBC Radio 2 presenter spoke to actor Russell Tovey and the two reflected on their respective experiences growing up gay in Essex. Speaking about a nightclub he would go to as a young man, Tovey said: 'It was a really important safe space, which I didn't realise at the time how important that was. 'And now you hear about so many safe spaces disappearing for so many queer people, and the importance of that, of somewhere where you can relax and be amongst the people who understand you. 'The disappearances of those is dangerous.'

'Ridley' Season Three: The Possible Returning Cast And Release Date
Season 2 of ITV's Ridley is still ongoing and while we're just at the halfway point of the gritty crime drama, we wouldn't blame you for already wondering if a third season is on the cards. Since the release of the second series on 10 August, the show has claimed its place at the top of every British detective fan's watchlist – joining the ranks of Dept Q, Slow Horses and The Day of the Jackal. But, as the season edges ever closer to its finale, fans have been left with one burning question: will Ridley continue to take over our screens with another thrilling chapter? With the show's mix of slow-burn excellence, high tension and complex characters, there's no doubt that the series has potential for more. Here's everything we know about the potential return of Ridley. As it currently stands, ITV has not yet confirmed whether there will be a third season of Ridley. However, during a recent interview with Country & Town House, Bronagh Waugh, who stars as DI Carol Farman, stated the following: 'There are plenty of [plot] ideas if we are lucky enough to get a third series.' Waugh also went on to add what she'd like the potential third season to cover. 'I think it would be really interesting to keep delving into the detectives' private lives as well as the cases,' she said. 'So let's see what happens…' Of course, Ridley wouldn't be the same without its titular character Alex Ridley, who is played by Adrian Dunbar. Therefore, if a third season is on the cards, there's no doubt that he'll be back, so long as there are no conflicts in Dunbar's schedule. Alongside him, viewers would also expect to see the return of Bronagh Waugh (DI Carol Farman), Georgie Glen (Dr. Wendy Newstone), Terence Maynard (DCI Paul Goodwin) and George Bukhari (DC Darren Lakhan). As nothing has yet been confirmed, the possible release date is unknown – but given that season one first premiered in the UK in August 2022, and the second season was released in August 2025, the third season would likely premiere in August 2028.
