Eamonn's wellbeing was also a cause for concern after he opened up on the horror injuries he suffered while falling off a chair during his GB News Breakfast Show slot.
Now the former This Morning anchor has taken to his page on X to upload a snap from 2022, showing him standing tall and looking svelte in a suit.
Behind him, a silver DeLorean car with the registration plate ANZ 2047 was parked up.
In his bittersweet caption he wrote: Great picture popped up from 3 years but it's made me sad - I could walk."
The GB News anchor added: "Got to redouble my efforts."
One fan was quick to offer positive vibes and wrote: "Keep pushing forward, Eamonn. Perseverance always pays off.
"Wishing you strength, good health, and all the very best ahead."
Another urged: "Keep fighting Eamonn," as a third put: "Stay strong Eamonn, you can do it, believe!"
One cheerily posted: "Wolf whistle still got it Eamonn."
TOUGH TIME
It has been a painful time for Eamonn of late - who is also in the midst of a divorce from ex Ruth Langsford, 65, and a battle over their £3.6million home.
Eamonn Holmes reveals injured area after shock fall live on TV
The presenter, 65, ended up on his back on set just two weeks after he was rushed to hospital in another fall.
He was hailed as a "trooper" by his colleagues - who praised him for keeping calm and carrying on.
Speaking at the end of the show, Eamonn told viewers: "The chair gave way and I was lying flat on my back with my head hanging off the set.
"The first hour or so I was OK because the adrenaline kicked in, but then as the morning went on I felt the aches and pains.
Ruth and Eamonn's relationship timeline
Before the shock split announcement, Ruth and Eamonn seemed like one of the strongest couples on UK TV – even with their signature bickering style.
Here's how their romance played out...
1997 - The couple first meet after being introduced by mutual friends, two years after Eamonn splits from his first wife, Gabrielle, with whom he has three children.
1997-2002 - To be respectful to Gabrielle, the couple kept their relationship out of the limelight. Ruth told Daily Mail: "I thought it spoke volumes about the sort of man he was, the sort of father he was and the integrity he had. It made me love him more, not less."
2002 - Ruth and Eamonn welcome their son, Jack, to the family.
2005 - Eamonn finalises his divorce with Gabrielle.
2006 - The pair begin to host Friday episodes of This Morning together.
2010 - Eamonn proposes to Ruth while at the Cheltenham Races, after asking Ruth's mother for her hand.
June 2010 - Eamonn and Ruth marry at Elvetham Hall, Hampshire.
2016 - Eamonn undergoes a double hip replacement in the first of many health battles.
June 2019 - On This Morning, Ruth and Eamonn say the secret to their happy marriage. Eamonn credits "compromise, consideration and lots of conjugal," while Ruth said it was "laughter and an equal marriage".
November 2020 - Ruth and Eamonn are replaced on their regular Friday slot by Alison Hammond and Dermot O'Leary in a 'show shake-up'.
December 2021 - After a year of being moved to the bank holiday presenting slot, both Eamonn and Ruth left This Morning.
January 2022 - Eamonn debuted on GB News, while Ruth stayed with ITV in her long-standing role on Loose Women.
September 2022 - Eamonn undergoes spinal surgery after years of back issues including a trapped sciatic nerve.
November 2022 - Eamonn falls down the stairs of his Surrey home with Ruth and breaks his shoulder, requiring a new operation.
September 2023 - Eamonn has a spine and neck stretching procedure as part of his year-long recovery.
May 2024 - Ruth and Eamonn announce they have split after 14 years of marriage and a 27-year relationship.
September 2024 - Eamonn was spotted on a luxury holiday in Barcelona with his new girlfriend Katie Alexander. Ruth calls in a 'fierce' divorce lawyer.
"The worst thing is that two weeks ago I was hospitalised for a similar fall in the same area, back of my neck, head and shoulders and that's all come back."
He added: "We're going to have to replace the chairs because I'm not the only one to have fallen."
HEALTH WOE
Weeks before, he disappeared off his TV show again amid his split with ex Ruth.
Eamonn had a double hip replacement in 2016 yet has been suffering from chronic pain since a follow-up spinal operation in September 2022.
Added to this, in early 2021, Eamonn was rushed to hospital after suffering from "pain he's never felt in his life."
In addition to his other health woes, Eamonn suffered a fall at his Surrey home - which he previously shared with ex Ruth - which left him with a fractured shoulder in 2023.
In September 2023, he was seen eating ice cream in a mobility scooter while months later, he was spotted using a walking frame.
Eamonn was seen with the latter as he attended the TRIC Awards in London, sparking concern when he said he was "not OK."
Yet last year, he stood tall without his walking frame.
