Ruth Langsford issued an update on her husband Eamon after he was taken to hospital.
The former This Morning presenter has spoken publicly about his ongoing battle with chronic pain, telling viewers he struggles to sleep and suffers from severe discomfort. Before quitting the show, Eamonn was seen relying on a crutch to move around the studio as he joined his wife Ruth.
Now a regular on GB News, he was absent from recent shows which sparked concern from viewers. Taking to Twitter to clarify the situation, he told his fans he had to be taken to hospital to undergo treatment and won't be returning for a while.

The tweet said: "Hi everyone, Many of you have been asking why I haven’t been presenting GB News for the past week. Unfortunately, due to a reoccurrence of a long-term back condition, I’ve had to undergo some unexpected hospital treatment and am now following Doctor’s orders by taking a short time off."
He thanked viewers for their concern and assured them he'd be back and, as she hosted Tuesday's Loose Women, wife Ruth was asked how he was. After colleague Janet Street-Porter raised concerns, Ruth said: "He's out now, he's resting at home. You now he's had this bad back problem and it played up again and he ended up in hospital for a few days.
"So, yes, it's been a bit worrying. That's why I wasn't here last week. And he's out now and resting at home," adding: "Yeah, he's alright now, thank you."
