Friends and fans of Eamonn Holmes have reacted to the news that he'll be back on our screens early this month.
The North Belfast man had taken a break from work after he underwent back surgery in September, a procedure he said had a '20% risk of going wrong', after battling chronic pain since 2020.
Eamonn was later left in further pain as he 'tumbled downstairs' and fractured his shoulder while recovering from his operation at his home in Surrey, requiring another operation.

Posting on Twitter on New Year's Eve, the 63-year-old said: "Visited my GB News studio today to see if they could handle my mobility issues and me to see if they had any.
"All went well thankfully so The Early Bird comeback is on track for Monday 9th January.
"I'm not better but better than I was and hopefully work will help with healing."
Actor Larry Lamb replied: "I’m sure it will mate .. all very best for the 9th LL."
