Eamonn Holmes shared a candid health update on Sunday.
The veteran TV star, 63, revealed he was undergoing treatment at Neurokinex, a neurological, activity-based rehabilitation centre.
Taking to social media over the weekend, the doting dad posted a photo of himself using a piece of Neurokinex’s equipment and said he was ‘desperate’ for results.
Eamonn wrote: ‘Hard to explain what this apparatus does … but it’s all about reawakening my Neuropathic connections .
‘Slow progress … but great dedication to me here . I’m so desperate for results.’
According to Neurokinex’s website, it champions neurological activity-based rehabilitation that stimulates the nervous systems by not only strengthening existing neural pathways, but also establishing new ones.

Beneath Eamonn’s post, famous faces and fans alike showered him with support, with Carol Vorderman writing: ‘Champ’ and Lucy Alexander adding ‘They can be re-awoken. Go, go, go.’
Other comments from Eamonn’s followers included: ‘Keep going Eamonn, much love’ and ‘Keep going, you’ll get the results.’
A devastating fall down 18 stairs in October last year along with pre-existing back problems has left Eamonn reliant on ‘a frame, crutches or a wheelchair to get around’.

The accident came as he was recovering from surgery on his back and the impact on the hard floor of his Surrey mansion caused his shoulder to break.
Eamonn previously told the Daily Mail of the fall: ‘Ruth came rushing down the stairs. She kept saying, “You’re fine, everything’s okay, you’re fine”.
‘I said, “Ruthie, there is a bone sticking out of my shoulder – I’m not fine”.’
The Belfast-born star was already walking with a stick after three slipped discs in his back in early 2021 left his right leg with limited movement.
Towards the end of that year, Eamonn admitted his health woes have had an impact on his family as they help him with everyday tasks.
He told the Sun: ‘I don’t walk — it’s more of a wobble. It has been very difficult this year. My problem is a trapped sciatic nerve, but I don’t even know quite how it initially happened.

‘For months now I haven’t been able to walk, sometimes at all, and it has really taken its toll on everyone around me too.
‘I can’t bend down to pick things up so Ruth ends up having to wait on me, and I know my sons particularly are a bit embarrassed by the way I move around.’
