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.

Eamonn Holmes rushed to hospital after fall at home
Eamonn Holmes has been rushed to hospital after suffering a 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).

Ruth Langsford takes mischievous jab at Eamonn Holmes on Loose Women
Ruth Langsford has taken a mischievous jab at her ex-husband Eamonn Holmes on Loose Women after divorcing the TV presenter in 2024. The former star presenting couple, who were axed from This Morning in 2020, had been together since 1996. They were married in 2010 and have a son. Langsford, who previously made a painful admission about the split, joked with her co-presenters Myleene Klass, Linda Robson, and Denise Welch about Holmes' parenting skills. During a discussion about childbirth and midwifery, Langsford reflected on the birth of their son Jack and claimed: 'Eamonn did what he could,' which prompted laughter from Klass. Langsford explained of her labour: 'My midwife Maria, who sadly passed, we remained friends, she came to Jack's birthday parties when he was young. 'I just remember feeling that Maria and I birthed Jack... I mean Eamonn was there and he did what he could in that moment.' When her co-presenters and a few audience members started laughing, Langsford added: 'No no, he did.' She continued: 'At that moment, I was relying on her. You know, when you have your eyes closed. I could hear her talking, going, 'Keep on, another breath.' 'I just remember focusing on her voice and her face that really got me through. I was a new mum, I didn't know what I was doing and she had birthed so many babies.' It comes after Langsford opened up about her 'painful split' from Eamonn Holmes earlier this month. Speaking to Women & Home magazine, the 64-year-old said that she had lost weight and added: 'You can let yourself crumble or you pick yourself up and get on with life. It's a choice.' 'I'm not delighted my marriage is over, but I've accepted it. I'm trying to now embrace the fact I'm single and can make choices that are just about me. 'Divorce is very painful. Most don't do it in the public eye, with everybody having an opinion. But that's the nature of my job. I've always had that and if you can't cope, you shouldn't be doing this job.' In November 2020, the pair were left 'furious' after being axed from This Morning i n favour of Alison Hammond and Dermot O'Leary. They had hosted the ITV daytime series's Friday episode since 2006. Langsford remained with ITV, and regularly features on Loose Women as a host – but former GM:TV host Holmes moved to GB News, where he hosts a breakfast show.
