‘Never had a bang to the head as powerful as that’
Speaking on GB News in recent days, Eamonn recalled how his feet “just went up” as he fell.
He revealed the floor was “wet”, and: “That’s not the first time I’ve slipped in there.”
Eamonn also described his injury as “the worst bang to my head and shoulders”. However, he believes being in “shock” kept him distance from what was happening.
Eamonn went on: “I went down and said: ‘I’m dead.’ I have never had a bang to the head as sore and as powerful as that before. I lay there and I thought, where’s the blood? [But] there was nothing. No blood, none split, nothing like that.”
The TV personality also noted how he was able to signal he needed help.
“Once I was down, I couldn’t get up,” Eamonn said. “Luckily, my phone was within reach and so I was able to phone someone and they came and they decided I needed an ambulance. The ambulance when they arrived decided I needed an ambulance too.”
