Eamonn Holmes takes more time off TV as he suffers 'painful' fall after surgery

Eamonn Holmes is being forced to take more time out from TV after suffering a nasty fall.

The former This Morning presenter has been left in "awful pain" as he has suffered a fall after having major surgery on his back. He reportedly "tumbled downstairs" and fractured his shoulder while recovering from his op at his home in Surrey.

The fall resulted in a second surgery and the 62-year-old is now facing a major setback. He reportedly needs to spend time getting better and healing.

A representative for Eamonn told Express.co.uk : “As a consequence of being laid low by major surgery, Eamonn suffered a fall at home a couple of weeks ago and had to undergo another operation.

“He’s naturally gutted by the setback, but the good news is the surgery on his shoulder went well. He’s now receiving fantastic care and rest. Sadly it means Eamonn is likely to need a longer period off TV than he first thought in order to get himself better and heal."

The spokesperson added: "But despite being in an awful lot of pain, he’s remaining positive and is looking forward to doing what he loves most and being back on TV and presenting on GB News just as soon as he can. Eamonn would like to say thank you for the wonderful care he has received from the NHS. He’d also like to thank everyone who has sent him get-well messages.

"Eamonn’s focus now is solely on resting, and getting better - which he is determined to do.”
