Eamonn Holmes says ‘life is not easy' after he suffers ‘unexpected fall' at home
'Thanks to everybody who is looking after me.' Presenter Eamonn Holmes has thanked healthcare staff after revealing he suffered an 'unexpected' fall at his home on Friday. The GB News broadcaster posted photographs of himself in the back of an ambulance to his Instagram account, alongside a caption thanking the staff for their help following the incident. "An unexpected journey this morning… bit of a fall on the bathroom floor. Gosh it hurts. Thank you ambulance crew,' he said. "Not how I wanted to be spending the holiday weekend, but life's not easy these days. Thanks to everybody who is looking after me.' In another post on his Instagram account in March this year, Mr Holmes said he was 'determined to have a life' despite the pain associated with a disc immobility issue in his back. The broadcaster has previously undergone spinal surgery and a double hip replacement. He now struggles walking and uses a mobility scooter. In the post, the Belfast man hit out at 'social media haters'. "Even when the sun shines there's pain. Sometimes I feel I'll never beat this disc immobility but I'm determined to have a life ….. so pray for me,' he added. After the presenter's latest fall, he was inundated with support from friends and fans on social media. It comes after the latest announcement about his new venture alongside co-presenter Paul Coyte.

Last year, the pair originally announced they were going to host a live tour under the same name. However, the duo dusted themselves off and are set to launch their new project instead; a podcast where they interview high-profile guests. Earlier this week it was revealed their first guest will be British actor, Sir David Jason. Speaking about the first episode, Eamonn said: 'We couldn't be more thrilled to welcome Sir David Jason as our very first guest. 'His legacy in British television is unmatched, and his warmth and humour set the perfect tone for what we hope will be a long and exciting journey.' A story on an Instagram page reportedly set up for the podcast (called Things We Like too) revealed that other stars who will join the pair for a chat include I'm A Celebrity contestant Barry McGuigan. The first episode of the podcast is due to drop on May 8. with Holmes continuing to present on GB News from Monday to Wednesday. The Belfast-born broadcaster and Ruth Langsford shocked fans by announcing their surprise split in May last year after 14 years of marriage. A joint statement issued at the time by a spokesperson for the former couple - who share one grown-up son - said: "Ruth Langsford and Eamonn Holmes have confirmed their marriage is over and they are in the process of divorcing." Holmes and Langsford worked together for years on ITV's This Morning show and were well known for their affectionate bickering, which often happened right in front of the cameras.

Eamonn Holmes set to launch new venture after sudden axing of live show
Eamonn Holmes has launched a new venture after a rocky year for the presenter. The 65-year-old has been dealing with a series of setbacks including health issues, an ongoing divorce from his wife Ruth Langsford, a shakeup in presenting schedules at GB News, and the cancellation of his live show. In December last year, Holmes announced he would be touring with his co-presenter Paul Coyte for Things We Like! with Eamonn and Paul. Their first show was due to take place on 11 March but it was reportedly cancelled due to last-minute disagreements around logistics and not poor ticket sales according to The Sun. But the duo have dusted themselves off and are set to launch their new project instead, a podcast where they interview high-profile guests. A story on an Instagram page reportedly set up for the podcast (called Things We Like too) reveals that filming is taking place, with I'm A Celebrity star Barry McGuigan to feature as one of its first guest interviewees. "There was a disagreement with the venue about last-minute logistics, which meant it was impossible for it to run,' a source told The Sun. "Eamonn pulled the plug on that particular show, but he knows there will be plenty of other opportunities in the future. Eamonn is just cracking on with his new project and throwing himself into it. Over the past couple of months, Eamonn has been recording episodes with some massive stars for a brand new podcast. "It's really conversational - heartfelt, emotional conversations with a different names with someone for everyone. Eamonn's used to always having more than one job on the go, but it's usually been with Ruth. This is going to be a the perfect way to turn a page on a new chapter." The podcast is due to be released later in the spring, with Holmes continuing to present on GB News from Monday to Wednesday. In a social media post teasing the venture, Holmes wrote: 'Working with my mates @Coytey67 and Deano on our soon to be released podcast/ videocast Things we Like today. Hoping you like the same things. Will keep you posted re launch date.' Holmes has undergone spinal surgery, a double hip replacement, and struggles walking and using a mobility scooter. In another Instagram post last month he criticised 'social media haters' as he shared a vulnerable message about his experience: 'Even when the Sun shines there's pain. Sometimes I feel I'll never beat this disc immobility but I'm determined to have a life ….. so pray for me.'
