Eamonn Holmes has begged fans to “wish him well” as he gave his latest health update.
The veteran TV presenter been in chronic pain following a number of medical issues in the past two years.
Back in 2021, a dislocated pelvis caused the 63-year-old to slip three discs in his back, which he had surgery on last September.
But just two weeks after his operation, Eamonn fell down the stairs at the Surrey home he shares with wife Ruth Langsford. This broke his shoulder and further affected the use of his legs.
Since then, the TV star has been having physio so he can walk properly again and been pictured using both a walking stick and wheelchair in recent months.
Taking to Twitter, the GB News presenter said: “Saturdays... I used to love them. They used to mean football.
“Now they mean Gym. Heavy rehabilitation scheduled every Saturday in particular to strengthen my legs and back to hopefully get me walking unaided again...”
Eamonn ended the post with: “But I just don’t like it... Wish me well.”
Fans were quick to comment underneath with motivational messages, including some of their own experiences recovering from injury.
One wrote: “Best wishes Eamonn, you will get what you wish for.”
“No one likes the gym... do they?” another said, while a third commented: “You can do it! Treat yourself to something nice afterwards as a reward xxx.”
A fourth tweeted: “It’s tough recovering from injury. I know exactly how you feel... we have your back Eamonn. Try some music or TV to distract your mind while exercising.”
“Wishing you all the best @EamonnHolmes my partner is suffering in a similar way and after 17 months I can start to see the light at the end of the tunnel. Take care and keep going x.”
Eamonn has described his health struggles over the past two years as “soul-destroying”.
Earlier this year, he was pictured in a wheelchair to cheer on his favourite team Manchester United as they went against Newcastle United.
He also regularly uses a walking stick to help him get around, but is hoping to ditch it for good soon.
Back in December Eamonn, who has also been suffering with a trapped sciatic nerve, said he was struggling to stay motivated.
“Worked hard at my physio this morning. Very tiring but I've now sat on my backside for 5 hours and feel bad about doing nothing... Lack of mobility & depending on others stops me doing really simple things. For peace of mind I feel another round of foot exercises coming on."
Opening up on his chronic pain battle back in 2021, Eamonn shared just how much it was affecting him.
The former This Morning host said: "Starting the day by tackling the pain from the night before... On the physio table. Chronic pain. Just can't get it to go away.”
Now working for GB News, Eamonn revealed he had been suffering with chronic pain "for years" - but was “determined to beat this.”
He shared: "Sadly, so many of you know the feeling. Thanks for sharing your stories. I'm determined to beat this... however much it hurts.”
