Since being released from the hospital, Eamonn has experienced a “flare-up” and decided to take it easy while watching some classic films.
He posted a selfie to his Instagram wearing a black cowboy hat and gave fans an update.
“Howdy Pilgrims ….. My Head and Neck muscles having a flare up since my fall. Been prescribed a day of watching Westerns to help recuperate,” he began the post.
“On my list Russel Crowe in The 3.10.from Yuma , John Wayne in Red River and Kevin Costner Dances with Wolves . It’s medicine – honestly ! 😊 … feeling better already – Ouch !!!”
Eamonn’s fans rushed to send him well-wishes in the comments section of the post.
“John Wayne films definitely the best to watch or Clint Eastwood 👏get well soon 😍,” wrote one person.
Another added: “Get well soon cowboy! 🤠”
And a third posted: “Feel better soon Eamonn.Enjoy your westerns.❤️.”
A source previously told The Sun about the fall, saying: “Eamonn slipped in the bathroom last week and took a bad tumble.
“He was taken to hospital in a lot of pain and went through a series of tests.

Why Ruth Langsford and Eamonn Holmes REALLY split & her furious reaction when she caught him on phone call to his lover
“Fortunately, he didn’t suffer any broken bones and is now on the mend.
“He was very lucky.”
The TV star – who is often seen out in a wheelchair or on crutches – has struggled with his mobility for the last few years as he battles intense back pain.
His chronic condition began unexpectedly in 2021 and soon he was unable to walk without a stick to help him.
Ruth and Eamonn’s relationship timeline
Before the shock split announcement, Ruth and Eamonn seemed like one of the strongest couples on UK TV – even with their signature bickering style.
Here’s how their romance played out…
1997 – The couple first meet after being introduced by mutual friends, two years after Eamonn splits from his first wife, Gabrielle, with whom he has three children.
1997-2002 – To be respectful to Gabrielle, the couple kept their relationship out of the limelight. Ruth told Daily Mail: “I thought it spoke volumes about the sort of man he was, the sort of father he was and the integrity he had. It made me love him more, not less.”
2002 – Ruth and Eamonn welcome their son, Jack, to the family.
2005 – Eamonn finalises his divorce with Gabrielle.
2006 – The pair begin to host Friday episodes of This Morning together.
2010 – Eamonn proposes to Ruth while at the Cheltenham Races, after asking Ruth’s mother for her hand.
June 2010 – Eamonn and Ruth marry at Elvetham Hall, Hampshire.
2016 – Eamonn undergoes a double hip replacement in the first of many health battles.
June 2019 – On This Morning, Ruth and Eamonn say the secret to their happy marriage. Eamonn credits “compromise, consideration and lots of conjugal,” while Ruth said it was “laughter and an equal marriage”.
November 2020 – Ruth and Eamonn are replaced on their regular Friday slot by Alison Hammond and Dermot O’Leary in a ‘show shake-up’.
December 2021 – After a year of being moved to the bank holiday presenting slot, both Eamonn and Ruth left This Morning.
January 2022 – Eamonn debuted on GB News, while Ruth stayed with ITV in her long-standing role on Loose Women.
September 2022 – Eamonn undergoes spinal surgery after years of back issues including a trapped sciatic nerve.
November 2022 – Eamonn falls down the stairs of his Surrey home with Ruth and breaks his shoulder, requiring a new operation.
September 2023 – Eamonn has a spine and neck stretching procedure as part of his year-long recovery.
May 2024 – Ruth and Eamonn announce they have split after 14 years of marriage and a 27-year relationship.
September 2024 – Eamonn was spotted on a luxury holiday in Barcelona with his new girlfriend Katie Alexander. Ruth calls in a ‘fierce’ divorce lawyer.
The pain was caused by a dislocated pelvis, which later resulted in him sustaining three slipped disks.
While recovering from surgery, he fell down the stairs at his home in Weybridge and broke his shoulder.
A further spine and neck procedure in 2023 did little to alleviate Eamonn’s pain.
He has admitted the pain has led to him having countless “sleepless nights” and caused rows with his estranged wife Ruth Langsford over how much medication he relies on taking.
Eamonn and Ruth announced their split in May last year having started dating in 1991.
