Eamonn Holmes âsoreâ after falling from chair live on-air on GB News
Eamonn Holmes has said he is feeling â??really soreâ? after falling from his chair live on-air on GB News, just two weeks after the presenter was rushed to hospital
GB News presenter Eamonn Holmes has said he is feeling âreally soreâ after falling from his chair live on-air. The Northern Irish broadcaster, 65, added that it was âa bit of a shockâ considering he had been taken to hospital earlier in the month after he had a fall at his home.
During his Wednesday show, with his co-host Ellie Costello, a crash could be heard while the camera was focused on their guest, commentator Charlie Rowley. Ellie could be heard saying âoh my goshâ off-screen, as Eamonn pleaded with Charlie to âcarry onâ before the presenter returned to the show following a break.

Eamonn said: âWelcome back. Good to see you again. Especially good for me to see you again. I am still alive, yes.
âAnd theyâre very wonky wheels on chairs that weâve got here, and matter of fact, we donât really like the chairs full stop, do we? Theyâre a bit slippy and slidey and Iâve slipped and slid off mine there.
âNot the first guest to have done so, weâve had a few, they have to remain nameless because theyâre well known people, but theyâve hit the floor really badly, quite frightening.
âAnd it was a bit of a shock for me because Iâve had a fall in my bathroom two weeks ago, which hospitalised me, and that hit me again right in the back. (Iâm) really, really sore. Really sore.â

He later said the chair âgave wayâ which meant he was lying flat on his back.
He added: âAs the morning goes on, you feel aches and pains. The worst thing about this, of course, this was at a time when I was hospitalised two weeks ago for a very similar fall in the same area, back of the head, my neck, my shoulders. So it all came back, as it were.â
On X Rowley wrote: â@EamonnHolmes YOU are the real hero for carrying on this morning. A true professional and National Treasure who I learn from each and every week. Itâs a privilege working with you, @elliecostelloTV and the rest of the @GBNEWS family. Take care!â.
On May 2, alongside a photo from the inside of an ambulance, Eamonn thanked the crew who had helped him after he fell on his bathroom floor.

The former This Morning host has long battled health issues after dislodging discs in his back which he said previously impinged on his sciatic nerve and affected the mobility of his right leg.
He has spoken about going through spinal surgery, a double hip replacement, and his struggles walking and using a mobility scooter.
Last year, Eamon an Ruth Langsford announced their split, after tying the knot in 2010.
