Eammon holmes 'still alive' as he issues update after shock fall live on gb news

THE NORTHERN IRISH BROADCASTER SAID THE INCIDENT LIVE ON AIR WAS 'A BIT OF A SHOCK' 13:02, 21 May 2025 Eamonn Holmes has said he is feeling “really sore” after falling from his

chair while live on-air presenting his morning GB News show. The Northern Irish broadcaster, 65, added that it was "a bit of a shock" considering he had been taken to hospital

earlier in the month after he had a fall at his home. During his Wednesday show (May 21), 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 "oh my gosh" off-screen, and Eamonn quickly pleaded with the guest to "carry on" before the presenter returned to

the show following a break. Addressing the incident, Eamonn said: "Welcome back. Good to see you again. Especially good for me to see you again. I am still alive, yes. "And

they’re very wonky wheels on chairs that we’ve got here, and matter of fact, we don’t really like the chairs full stop, do we? They’re a bit slippy and slidey and I’ve slipped and slid off

mine there. Article continues below "Not the first guest to have done so, we’ve had a few, they have to remain nameless because they’re well-known people, but they’ve hit the floor

really badly, quite frightening. "And it was a bit of a shock for me because I’ve had a fall in my bathroom two weeks ago, which hospitalised me, and that hit me again right in the

back. (I’m) really, really sore. Really sore." He later said the chair “gave way” which meant he was lying flat on his back. He added: “As 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." On X, formerly Twitter, Charlie wrote: “@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. It’s a privilege working with you, @elliecostelloTV and the rest of the @GBNEWS family. Take care!”. Article continues below On May 2, in an Instagram post that

included a photo from the inside of an ambulance, Eamonn thanked the crew who had helped him after he fell on his bathroom floor. Eamonn then updated fans alongside a photo from his hospital

bed. Eamonn said: "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." 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.
