GB News presenter Eamonn Holmes revealed cussing helps ease his chronic back pain.
The 62-year-old opened up about the severe pain he has been enduring back at the beginning of last year.
He explained how the pain he feels keeps him awake at night, leaving him exhausted and in constant agony.
Almost a year later, the former This Morning presenter admitted swearing has been a great way for him to deal with the pain.
Writing in Best magazine, Eamonn said: "Swearing has got a bad reputation – which I personally think it doesn’t deserve.
"I have to be honest, I like a swear or two or three... It makes me feel better. How can anyone deal with pain without swearing?"
Eamonn went on to reveal that he has been dealing with the pain for around six years, so his 'sweat box runneth over'.
"I’m not saying it’s better than a couple of painkilling tablets, but it certainly has an initial short, sharp effect," he added.
The television presenter underwent endless treatments, including steroid injects and physiotherapy to get better.
"About a month ago I did something to my back, I don't know what," Eamonn recalled early last year.
"It could have been getting into a car, getting out of bed, whatever."
The presenter added at the time that he had an MRI scheduled that would hopefully determine the source of the pain.

He went on: "The humbling thing about this is when you go on social media you talk to people about who suffers from this you realise age isn't a barrier, where you live isn't a barrier, how much you earn isn't a barrier… so many of you have this chronic pain from all sorts of different sources."
Doctors were eventually able to get to the bottom of his agony and diagnosed the star with a dislocated pelvis. He then revealed that he also had three slipped discs in his back and was doing everything he could to alleviate the pain.
Since he opened up about his back pain, the star went from working at This Morning to presenting on GB News with co-host Isabel Webster.
The broadcaster even claimed he wasn't 'treated with respect' at ITV towards the end of his time with the station.
"I made the jump to GB News because options dried up," Eamonn told The Guardian.
"The 'wrong age', at the 'wrong stage' – at some point it becomes very hard to get work."
He added: "It was obvious that I didn’t tick the boxes for ITV any more, and I wasn’t being treated with respect there."
