Eamonn Holmes issues health update and is supported by wife Ruth Langsford
EAMONN Holmes has revealed he's been working hard to retrain his balance after suffering a horrific fall last year.
The ex-This Morning star, 63, posted a picture of himself with his eyes closed on Instagram.
He practised standing on one leg with his eyes shut to regain control of his balance after recently needing a wheelchair.
Eamonn, 63, posed for a photo in a gym and said: "Training with my eyes closed.
"It's all about regaining my balance. Hard work made harder balancing on one leg."
His wife Ruth Langsford posted an encouraging message, writing beneath his photo: " Keep going x" alongside four hand clapping emojis.

Recalling his horrific injuries, he said: "Suddenly it was as if someone had shot my left knee from behind.
"It literally collapsed without any warning. I was on a curve of the stairs, and I just went back down the stairs, boom, boom, boom down the whole staircase until I hit the stone floor in the hallway.
"Blood was pouring out my mouth, and a bone was sticking out my shoulder."
Eamonn added to the : "Ruth came rushing down the stairs. She kept saying, 'You're fine, everything's okay, you're fine.' I said, 'Ruthie, there is a bone sticking out of my shoulder — I'm not fine'."
He was then left with a four hour wait after Ruth called for an ambulance.
