Eamonn Holmes updated his followers on his recovery after suffering various health struggles.
The broadcaster, 63, has shared his recovery process after he fractured his shoulder towards the end of last year, leading him to take a break from GB News.
He had previously shared how ‘hellish’ his recovery had been from a major back operation, after falling down the stairs and fracturing his shoulder.
In his latest Instagram post, the journalist detailed his progression by sharing a clip of him sitting and standing on his own.
He penned: ‘This might look easy to you but believe me this was an amazing achievement for me…
‘Thanks to everyone at @neurokinex Gym for helping me to get back on my feet bit by bit.’
Fellow celebrities and fans showed Eamonn love, with TV personality Ant Middleton writing: ‘Yes Eamonn…There is no end to the road, just progression! Do what needs to be done and more.’
Former EastEnders actress Martine McCutcheon added: ‘You are looking so much stronger and well – it’s all paying off Eamonn! You are such a trooper. Give gorgeous Ruth a big cuddle from me please.’
Last December, Eamonn shared a health update with his fans, calling his recovery ‘soul destroying’.
He wrote on Twitter: ‘Worked hard at my physio this morning. Very tiring but I’ve now sat on my backside for 5 hours and feel bad about doing nothing.
‘Lack of mobility & depending on others stops me doing really simple things.

‘For peace of mind I feel another round of foot exercises coming on.’
He then added in a comment: ‘Relying is soul destroying’ after a fan wrote: ‘I feel your pain I had 6 months of physio 2 hours a night 5 a week. I hated relying on folk. But the one thing was NO one will ever understand how awful Physio is and how exhausting.’
Towards the end of 2021, 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.’
