Eamonn Holmes has said his “life’s not easy these days” after being rushed to hospital following a fall.
The broadcaster, who previously hosted ITV daytime series This Morning, suffered the accident on Friday (2 May) at his home in Weybridge, Surrey, where he requires the support of carers.
In recent years, Holmes, who co-hosts a breakfast show on GB News, has suffered setbacks with his health, undergoing spinal surgery and a double hip replacement.
He revealed to his fans that he was taken to hospital in an ambulance after having a “bit of a fall on the bathroom floor”, adding: “An unexpected journey this morning... Gosh it hurts.”
Hours later, Holmes, 65, shared an update from his hospital bed: “Not how I wanted to be spending The Holiday weekend... but life’s not easy these days. Thanks to everybody who is looking after me.”
Holmes previously reflected on his “tough year” toThe Sun: stating: “I have been basically disabled for a year and a half or so and I have to have a carer to do the smallest simplest things and it’s humiliating and humbling – but thank goodness that carers are available.”

Holmes and Langsford, 65, wed in 2010, and were said to be “determined to stay friends and keep things amicable”. Holmes has a new girlfriend, marriage counsellor Katie Alexander.
The host has three children with his first wife, Gabrielle, whom he married in 1985. Their relationship ended in 1994. He began dating Langsford two years later, but the pair kept their romance a secret out of respect for Gabrielle.

“It has caused some strain and Ruth is fed up of hearing about it and of me saying I can’t walk the dog or tidy up, but I can’t help it. It’s agony.”
Over the years, the couple hosted a number of shows together, including ITV quiz show Gift Wrapped (2014), Channel 5’s How the Other Half Lives (2015-17) and dieting series Lose a Stone in Four Weeks, which debuted on Channel 4 in 2019.
They also presented Eamonn & Ruth’s 7 Year Itch (2017) and Do The Right Thing with Eamonn and Ruth (2018-19).
