Eamonn Holmes shares 'soul destroying' health update

Eamonn Holmes has opened up about his health struggles as he expressed his upset at having to depend on others, saying that it was "soul-destroying".

The 63 year old former This Morning presenter has been struggling from chronic pain and has been having a variety of different treatments. He has had a dislocated pelvis and a trapped sciatic nerve, among many other health concerns, MirrorOnline reports.

Taking to Twitter on Wednesday, Eamonn shared his issues as he wrote: "Worked hard at my physio this morning. Very tiring but I've now sat on my backside for five 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."

In response, Eamonn commented: "Relying is soul destroying."

Another Twitter user wrote: "I do wonder if time at a spa might help as body weight gravity is roughly one third in the pool. V relaxing.."

"Doing a bit of hydrotherapy already. Big help," he replied.

One commented: "Be gentle with yourself. And enjoy the rest. Hope you feel better soon."

Eamonn responded: "What an awful year Martina but I still have St Pat watching over me in my office . The Happiest of New Years to you . E x."

Another fan wrote: "Keep going we miss you on TV."

"Thank u x," Eamonn replied.
