After going for a haircut in south west London Holmes, 64, was seen using a walking frame as he made his way back home. At a charity event earlier this year, he was spotted using a walking stick, but it would seem his mobility has worsened since then. The photographs have been published exclusively in the Sun today (June 14).

The TV presenter’s ailing health has been well-documented, both by the media and by Holmes himself, who has been open about his condition and treatment. In 2021, Eamonn had informed his fans that he had injured his back but was unsure about the cause of the chronic pain that followed. He then underwent spinal injury and then suffered a fall a month later, which left him unable to walk.

He has since found himself in regular physiotherapy sessions, about which he said: “More painful than it looks - I do a lot of pushing, and Johnny does a lot of pulling. This is a typical day for me.”

Speaking about his divorce on GB News, Holmes added: “Just before we move on I would like to thank people for your support for Ruth and I over the last few days as to the news of our separation. Your support for both of us is very much appreciated.”
