He told fans: "An unexpected journey this morning ….. bit of a fall on the bathroom floor.

"Gosh it hurts. Thank you Ambulance crew."

It's not clear whether Eamonn was with his girlfriend Katie Alexander at the time of his accident.

The 65-year-old has struggled with his mobility for the last few years as he battles intense back pain.

Eamonn - who is often seen out in a wheelchair or on crutches - was flooded with support from worried fans who wished him a speedy recovery.

His chronic condition began unexpectedly in 2021 and soon he was unable to walk without a stick to help him.

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.

Ruth had previously opened up about how Eamonn's chronic pain had put a strain on the couple.

She said: "You can't help, but when you're helping someone all the time and they’re very incapacitated it’s hard to be Florence Nightingale all the time."
