Eamonn Holmes has shared a health update with fans as he admits that he is “desperate for results”.

The GB News presenter previously revealed that he had been suffering from disc problems in his back for a year and a half, caused by a dislocated pelvis.


The 63-year-old had surgery in September and had been learning to regain full mobility.

However, he suffered another set back after in November he was forced to take a break from his presenting role after he fractured his shoulder following a fall down the stairs.

The injury came not long after he announced that his mother had sadly passed away.

In a message to fans at the time, he said that it was a “massive setback” in his recovery, and described it as a “hellish few weeks”.

The presenter admitted he was making “slow progress” but was “desperate for results”.

In an Instagram post he said: “Hard to explain what this apparatus does... but it’s all about reawakening my neuropathic connections.

“Slow progress...but great dedication to me here."

“I’m so desperate for results,” he added.

Last month, Holmes shared another picture of himself wearing a harness while using a physio apparatus, writing in the caption that he was “learning to walk with purpose.

“Gosh I’m trying so hard” he added.

“The harness gives me more confidence than I have. Wish me well.”

Colleagues and fans have left plenty of supportive messages for the GB News presenter, with Carol Voderman branding him a “champ”.

Another follower said: “You’ll get there in the end, slow and steady wins the race.”

Wife and fellow TV presenter Ruth Langsford has also publicly shared her support for her husband saying: "We can rebuild him! Hard work will pay off x."
