Eamonn Holmes has been inundated with support from fans after revealing he’d been rushed to hospital in an ambulance. The GB News presenter shared on social media that he’d been taken to hospital via ambulance following a fall at his home.

Issuing the worrying health update, he wrote: “An unexpected journey this morning ….. bit of a fall on the bathroom floor. Gosh it hurts . Thank you Ambulance crew.” In a follow up post, he added: “Not how I wanted to be spending The Holiday weekend ….. but life’s not easy these days. Thanks to everybody who is looking after me.”

In response, Eamonn’s fans were quick to show their support for the TV personality. “Get well soon Big man, less dancing more singing in the bathroom from here on,” wrote one. “Ohh Eammon! Hope you recover quickly. Best wishes,” commented another.

But this isn’t the first time that 65-year-old Eamonn has opened up about his health. Over the years, he has been candid about struggling with some serious health concerns.

Hip replacement

The TV star refused to have his hip replaced for three decades before finally undergoing surgery on both in 2016, aged 55. He went ahead with the major op to tackle the chronic hip, leg and back pain which caused him ‘sleepless nights’ and ‘not being able to drive, let alone do anything more physically active’.

Eamonn made a good recovery from his double hip replacement and went onto lose three stone in a battle to boost his health. He just wished he had had it done sooner. “Waiting was the worst decision I ever made,” he told the Telegraph. “After having both of mine replaced seven years ago, aged 55, I haven’t had a single regret: in fact, it’s been life-changing.”

Shingles

Eamonn was struck down with the viral infection that causes a painful rash in 2018, saying he looked ‘as if someone had taken a baseball bat to my face’. The star believed his severe Shingles had been brought on by a ‘stressful tax row’ which saw him battle with HMRC over whether he was classed as staff or a freelancer as a presenter at This Morning.

“It was bloody scary to see it,” he told The Sun. “It looked as if someone had taken a baseball bat to my face and smashed me about a bit.” More terrifyingly, Eamonn said the infection could have caused him to go blind.

“Blindness could have been a complication in my case,” he said. “The doctor said it’s really bad for you because it’s around your eyes, and could be bad for your ophthalmic nerves. Medically, it was pretty serious.”

Slipped discs

The most serious of Eamonn’s health woes began in early 2021. The broadcaster soon shared his chronic pain with his social media followers, writing: “A month ago I did something to my back. I don’t know how I did it – getting into the car, getting out of a car, getting out of bed, whatever. I’ve got an MRI scan but the trouble is everything closes for Easter. I haven’t got it analysed yet but what I do know is I can’t sleep at night.”

The star went onto discover he had three slipped discs, which are caused by the soft cushion of tissue between the bones in the spine bulging outwards. They were affecting movement in Eamonn’s right leg, meaning he had to walk with a stick. He had epidural injections to manage his pain, saying they ‘helped to a degree but didn’t cure the problem’.

Spinal surgery

Eamonn flew over to Belfast to host an event for pal Gloria Hunniford in May 2022 and ended up in A&E after his spinal problems caused bladder and bowel issues. He spent nine days in hospital at The Royal Victoria Hospital, with doctors feeling surgery would be too risky, returning with problems in his left leg as well as his right.

The star then received advice from an unlikely source – S Club 7 original Jo O’Meara. “She got in touch to say she had the same disc problems I did and had just had surgery with a German surgeon,” he told Mail Online. “I asked if she could pass on his details, because by now I was desperate.”

Eamonn went under the knife in September 2022, saying: “It went well – the doctor tidied things up and generally the pain has gone which is brilliant. The flip side is that it has now left me with an issue in my left leg, which would collapse unexpectedly.”

Horror fall

The TV host’s problems with his left leg following his operation led to six falls within 10 days. In October 2022, he fell down 18 stairs at home in Surrey when his leg once again gave way. “I just went back down the stairs, boom, boom, boom down the whole staircase until I hit the stone floor in the hallway,” he told Mail Online. “Blood was pouring out my mouth and a bone was sticking out my shoulder.”

Eamonn faced six weeks of rehabilitation at a specialist centre. Heartbreakingly, his ongoing mobility issues meant he was forced to miss his mother Josephine’s funeral that November. “It’s something I never thought I would have to face in life,” he said. “Not being at my mother’s funeral. That was a terrible low. It was just inconceivable being Irish Catholic that you wouldn’t be carrying your mother’s coffin.”

Plea for fans’ ‘prayers’

In March 2025, Eamonn discussed the realities of living with his pain and expressed his fears at “never” being able to “beat” his disc immobility. Sharing a selfie taken from inside his car, he wrote: “Even when the sun shines there’s pain. Sometimes I feel I’ll never beat this disc immobility, but I’m determined to have a life… so pray for me, help me, or get out of the way, social media haters.”

In response to the heartbreaking plea, Eammon’s followers flocked to the comments section where they shared their support for the broadcaster. “Hope you feel better soon Eamonn,” wrote one. Another commented: “Oh Eamonn sending so much love and well wishes.”

It came just months after he spoke about his need to “rely” on other people – something he revealed he struggled with. During a segment on GB News in December, the former This Morning star addressed the prospect of using public transport amid predicted traffic jams on the road.

“The train definitely could be a dream, but I’m now sort of wheelchair laden, and you rely on a lot of people to get you on and off,” he said. “It’s very, very difficult doing that, I just threw that in, it’s not a concern to anybody, but there we go.”

Ruth’s ‘sadness’ over health struggles

Eamonn and Ruth Langsford may have split last year after 14 years of marriage, but it’s been claimed that the Loose Women star’s concerns for her ex haven’t simply vanished, especially amid his seeming poor health struggle, reports OK!.

A source claimed: “Ruth honestly doesn’t talk about Eamonn, she’s really moved on from that part of her life. But of course, she does care about him, because they share a child and they were married for a long time.”

However, the source added that, despite feeling ‘sad’ about Eamonn’s struggles, Ruth is remaining strong. “She has seen that he is struggling, and it’s sad to see anyone in that situation. Of course, she fears for him and doesn’t want to think of Eamonn battling with his health – but she has to focus on herself and her own life now,” the continued.

Zoe Ball set to return to BBC radio tomorrow just five months after shock exit

Radio star Zoe Ball is set to return to BBC Radio 2 tomorrow just five months after her sudden exit from her breakfast show when she was replaced by Scott Mills

Zoe Ball is making a comeback to the BBC just five months after she quit her BBC Radio 2 morning show. The DJ left her much loved breakfast show last year, with her pal Scott Mills taking over.

She had ran her show for six years, but insisted it was time to “start a new chapter”. Her decision came just months after her extended absence from the BBC during the summer following her mother’s death. After bursting into tears on her last show, Zoe is now making a comeback with a brand-new programme on BBC Radio 2. She is set to return to the airwaves at 1pm tomorrow.

The BBC have teased on their website that it will feature “the best songs and chat for a Saturday”. Zoe will be playing some of her favourite hits which she has promised to showcase her having “lots of laughs” as well as striking up a bond with her listeners.

Announcing the news in February, Helen Thomas, Head of Radio 2, said: “Zoe is one of the UK’s most loved presenters, so I’m thrilled to announce that she has a new home on Radio 2 on Saturday lunchtimes, plus she’ll be hosting various specials for us throughout the year.”

Just days later, Zoe will return again to host a special VE Day concert on Monday 8. The live concert, called VE Day 80: A Celebration to Remember, will see artists including Samantha Barks, Fleur East, John Newman, Victor Ray, Freya Ridings and Keala Settle perform.

Zoe said of her new gig: “I’m truly honoured to play a small role in the celebrations of such a momentous occasion. My dear Dad Johnny Ball was 6 years old on VE Day, his memories of that time are incredible.

“Our great grandparents, and grandparents, our families, our nation went through so much. The bravery and sacrifices of so many for our freedom, we must always remember and this will be a very special night with some magnificent performances.”

When she was last on air in December, Zoe was bidding farewell to her breakfast Radio 2 show. She revealed that the whole team were back together for her final farewell but admitted: “We’ve had some tears already.

“We don’t quite know what to do with ourselves this morning, do we? I’ve come in and I suddenly can’t remember how to press the button.”

Zoe continued: “We’re all pretending we’re going to be OK, that the emotion isn’t getting to us – but it’s definitely getting to us. So hold tight! But Richie, so many nice comments yesterday – made me blub my eyes out!”

She added: “I’ve already had a little cry on Patrick! But we’re going to have lots of fun today. We’re playing some of my favourite records today – both Christmassy and non-Christmassy ones and we’ll get through as many messages from the listeners as we can.”

Zoe made history in 2019 when she became the first woman to host the prestigious BBC Radio 2 Breakfast Show, taking over from broadcasting legend Chris Evans.

Prince Harry’s breakdown with King Charles as he accepts ‘family will never forgive him’

There is “no point fighting anymore,” according to Prince Harry, who spoke in a shocking interview about his separation from his father, King Charles, and the Royal Family.

Prince Harry’s broken relationship with King Charles has reached a new low, as the Duke of Sussex claims his father “refuses to speak” to him.

After deciding to step down as a working royal in 2020, the Duke of Sussex started a new life in California with his wife, Meghan, and their two children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet – and his bond with his father reportedly grew strained over the years as they spent time apart.

In a new interview with the BBC, the Duke of Sussex has opened up about his estrangement, revealing that he’d like a “reconciliation” with fellow members of the Royal Family. The emotional talk, which came after Prince Harry lost a Court of Appeal challenge over his security arrangements while in the UK, touched on how the legal challenge had affected his relationship with the King.

The Duke of Sussex had filed an appeal against the Home Office’s decision to reject his High Court claim that he should be protected from the UK by receiving a different level of protection from the Executive Committee for the Protection of Royalty and Public Figures (Ravec). However, Harry’s appeal was dismissed in a decision that was rendered this afternoon by Sir Geoffrey Vos, Lord Justice Bean, and Lord Justice Edis.

Speaking to the BBC following the decision, the Duke said: “He won’t speak to me because of this security stuff.” He added that he didn’t know how long his father had left to live.

He continued, “I would love reconciliation with my family, but some members of my family will never forgive me for writing a book, of course they will never forgive me for many things,” adding: “Of course, they will never forgive me for writing a book. There is no purpose to fight any more.

Since Harry and wife Meghan sensationally quit royal life more than five years ago, the pair have called California their home, and Harry has only returned to the UK on a number of occasions – including for the funeral of the late Prince Philip in April 2021. In his best-selling memoir Spare, Harry opened up on the occasion and recalled how after paying his last respects to his grandfather, he, his father and brother Prince William came together to discuss things.

Harry claimed he felt “cut off” and that William and Harry had a heated argument after opening up about his feelings for the pair. The Duke remarked to King Charles, “Please, boys, don’t make my final years a misery,” when he intervened between him and his brother.

While Harry now lives in Montecito, after news of King Charles’ cancer diagnosis broke last year, the Duke jumped on a plane and dashed to his dad’s side, with many hoping it would begin the process of reconciliation. However, this meeting marked the last time the pair saw one another, meaning they have not seen each other face-to-face for more than a year.

Amid the monarch’s cancer diagnosis, it’s previously been reported that Prince Harry has been left in the dark regarding the status of his father’s health. When the monarch had a short stay in hospital earlier this year after suffering side effects from his cancer treatment, it was alleged that the Duke of Sussex found out about it on the news like everyone else.

According to PEOPLE magazine, Harry has not been told about his father’s current condition or prognosis, with a source claiming that the King had been ‘unavailable’ during Harry’s recent visits to the UK. A palace source said: “I don’t think there is any rapprochement”, while another added: “They are distant”.

With Prince Harry and Charles’ relationship appearing to remain strained, former BBC royal correspondent Jennie Bond discussed the “great sadness” that came with the King being a stranger to his two grandchildren – as well as to his youngest son. “He always loved Harry – he called him ‘darling boy’. And I’m sure he still does love Harry and would love even more to be able to spend time with Archie and Lilibet,” she told The Mirror.

“Charles is a loving grandfather to George, Charlotte, and Louis. And as his battle with cancer progresses, I’m certain that he will consider how awful it must be to be unable to spend time with Harry’s children.

Prince Harry and William are not thought to have spoken in years, so Charles may not be the only one to miss out. “I always imagined Harry and William being close and enjoying the togetherness of their children,” Jennie continued.

“And I suppose there will always be times when they’ll have similar thoughts. However, there is no evidence that the cousins ever gotten to know one another.

Black Sabbath’s ‘secret plan’ to help Ozzy Osbourne in final gig amid health setback

Ozzy Osbourne has acknowledged that he may be seated for his final performance and that the performing arts will make an effort to put on a show centered around him.

Concert organisers will “use smoke and mirrors” to make sure Ozzy Osbourne gets the triumphant send off he deserves in his final gig. Frontman Ozzy, 76, has given an interview where he vowed to “do the best I can” as he prepares to play his final ever live show with Black Sabbath.

He also acknowledged that he wouldn’t be very active on the stage in Birmingham. He continued, “I’m used to jumping around and running for two hours on stage.” This time, I don’t believe I’ll be doing much jumping or running. I might be sat down. The band’s brief set, which will be played at Villa Park on July 5, according to a source close to the Osbournes, took months of planning, according to a source close to the band.

Ozzy’s entrance and performance will likely be enjoyed by fans, but there will likely be plenty of smoke like at old Sabbath gigs, flashing lights, and Tommy Iommi’s big guitar solos.

There are plenty of tricks and video montages of the band over the years included before they even begin playing, according to the organizers, who have been planning this gig for well over a year. If necessary, we can use the rest of the band and smoke and mirrors to give Ozzy a sense of his stage presence and extended performance.

Osbourne broke his hip-hop career in 2023 after being diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease in 2020.

The following morning, you wake up to discover that something else is wrong. You start to believe that this will never end, he told G2 on Friday.

He claimed that his wife Sharon had planned the reunion concert so that I could have a reason to get up in the morning.

I exercise, ride my bike, and have a neighbor who works for me. He said, “I’ve been laid up for such a long time. It’s tough.”

“Your strength is the first thing I need to go after lying on my back doing nothing. It’s like resuming everything.

To keep my voice moving, I’ve got a vocal coach coming round every four days.

“I have problems walking. I also get blood pressure issues, from blood clots on my legs.

I’m accustomed to jumping around and running for two hours on stage.

“This time, I don’t believe I’ll be doing much jumping or running.” I might be sat down.

He continued, “We only play a few songs per song.” Because it’s going to be… what’s the word, I don’t want people to think “we’re getting ripped off.” You’ll receive a few Ozzy and Sabbath songs as samples, each of which are as follows.

Sammy Hagar, a former Van Halen frontman, claimed Sammy Hagar was told that Osbourne will “try to sing five songs,” including No More Tears.

Osbourne fell at home in 2019, which worsened her injuries from a 2003 quad bike crash that was almost fatal.

He told US television’s Good Morning America, “I just can’t wait to get well enough to go on the road, because that’s what’s killing me,” when he described his Parkinson’s diagnosis in January 2020.

A number of well-known metal bands will play shows at the all-day event at Villa Park in Birmingham, the city where the heavy rock kings first formed in 1968, including Metallica, Slayer, and Alice In Chains. The show will raise money for children’s and Parkinson’s charities.

The band performed what was meant to be their “last” gig in 2017 without Ward on drums, with Osbourne, guitarist Iommi, and bassist Butler. This time, the band’s era will end.

“Never say never,” I’d love to say, but it’s only a matter of time after the last six or so, Ozzy said.

“I spent 50 or so years traveling, and I’ve kind of grown used to not getting on the bus or picking up my bags.” I no longer smoke or live the rock star lifestyle. I resemble a typical homebody in some ways. I never leave. I don’t drink in bars, so I never hang out there. What the hell is that for me, then?

I don’t want to pass away in a hotel room somewhere; it’s time for me to spend some time with my grandchildren. The rest of my life should be spent with my family.

Osbourne, Iommi, Butler, and Ward were escaping a factory-based life in Birmingham where Black Sabbath’s story began.

Their 1970 debut album, which went on to become the UK’s top 10, opened the door to a long line of chart-topping hits.

With more than 75 million albums sold worldwide, they eventually became one of the most well-known and influential metal bands ever.

Osbourne was added for a second time last year after being inducted into the Rock &amp, Roll Hall of Fame in 2006.

He previously celebrated his home city in 2022 when he helped close the Commonwealth Games.

Through their reality TV series The Osbournes, he gained even more fame alongside his wife Sharon, who he wed in 1982 and who has three children, Aimee, Jack, and Kelly.

Prince Harry reveals he ‘doesn’t know how long’ King Charles has left

After claiming King Charles “refuses” to speak to him in response to his ongoing security battle in the UK, Prince Harry has shared his hopes for a “conciliation” with the Royal Family.

Prince Harry has opened up about his estrangement from his father, King Charles, in the wake of his security battle.

The Duke of Sussex today sensationally lost his Court of Appeal challenge over his security arrangements whilst in the UK. The ruling handed down earlier this afternoon is a huge blow for Harry, who previously argued he wanted his children, Prince Archie, five, and Princess Lilibet, three, to know their UK heritage.

However, he feels he is left with no option but for his wife, Meghan Markle, and his children to stay out of his beloved homeland unless they have taxpayer-funded police protection. Talking just hours after the “devastating” decision, Prince Harry spoke to the BBC about his hopes of a “reconciliation” with his family, adding that his father “refuses” to talk to him.

He also admitted that he “doesn’t know how much longer my father has”. The Duke continued, “Of course, some members of my family will never pardon me for writing a book.” They will never, after all, forgive me for many things. But you know, I would love reconciliation with my family. There is no point in fighting any longer, as I’ve always said.

Life is precious, I said, and I was right. I don’t know how much longer my father has he, he won’t speak to me because of this security stuff, but it would be nice to reconcile. “

When asked if the last step to repairing relations with his family was the security issue, he said” 100%”, adding:” Whatever noise is being created, whatever stories have been written, this has always been the sticking point.

God forbid anything should happen, so put yourself in my shoes if you take a step back and try to take on the same official role that you were born into, for the sake of your wife, your mental health, and your child, which is currently being made public. And I have no regrets about it.

” But 2020, when that decision happened, I couldn’t believe it. I was really shocked by it. With all the disagreements and the current chaos, I believed that my family would be the one thing keeping me safe.

“And not only did they decide to remove my security in the UK, but they also signalled to every single government around the world not to protect us”.

King Charles, who was diagnosed with cancer last year, made an open admission of the “daunting and occasionally frightening experience” of receiving his diagnosis a day later. In a written note, Charles expressed his appreciation for the “profound impact of human connection” and noted how “the darkest moments of illness can be illuminated by the greatest compassion” before hosting a special reception for cancer charities at Buckingham Palace.

In the personally penned message for the programme of the event, attended by champions of cancer charities and those who are living with cancer, including radio DJ Adele Roberts, TV personality Ashley Cain, actor Richard E Grant, and the parents of the late campaigner Dame Deborah James, the King highlighted the gravity of 1,000 people a day being handed a cancer diagnosis.

Revealing his own feelings of becoming “among those statistics myself”, he added: “I can vouch for the fact that it can also be an experience that brings into sharp focus the very best of humanity.” Charles was diagnosed with cancer last February following a three night hospital stay at The London Clinic in Marylebone for an enlarged prostate procedure. Subsequent diagnostic tests identified a form of cancer.

Harry claimed he learned about his father’s ill health in the media after Charles was admitted to a hospital last month after experiencing side effects from his cancer treatment, just like everyone else.

Harry’s emotional interview with the BBC comes after he had been challenging the dismissal of his High Court claim against the Home Office over the decision of the Executive Committee for the Protection of Royalty and Public Figures (Ravec) that he should receive a different degree of protection when in the country.

The duke’s lawyers told the Court of Appeal that his safety, security, and life are “at stake” and that he had been “singled out” for “inferior treatment” at a two-day hearing in April. Harry’s appeal was rejected, however, by Sir Geoffrey Vos, Lord Justice Bean, and Lord Justice Edis.

Speaking tonight with the BBC, he said: “I can’t see a world in which I would be bringing my wife and children back to the UK at this point. The things they’re going to miss, well, that’s everything.

” I love my country, I always have done. Despite what some people there have done. I adore the UK, and I do. “He added:” I think that’s really quite sad that I won’t be able to show my children my homeland. “

The Duke claimed that because of his security arrangements in the UK, he had not asked his father to intervene. I’ve never asked him to intervene, he continued.

“I’ve asked him to step out. I let the experts do their jobs by going outside the box. The Royals and professionals make up the Ravec committee, which is expert. He added: “Five years later, every single visit that I do back to the UK has to go through the royal household.

The royal household is still my Ravec committee representative to this day. I don’t make that choice. I am forced to go through the royal household and accept that they are putting my best interests forward during these conversations and deliberations.

“I haven’t asked my father to intervene,” I replied. The Duke of Sussex responded, “Everything,” when asked by the BBC about how his current security arrangements made him feel uneasy. He continued: “I would not have taken this this far if I did not have compelling evidence of facts that reveal why the decision was made and I am sitting here today talking to you, where we have lost the appeal, but the other side have won in keeping me unsafe, so again there is a lot of question marks that a lot of people will have.

Throughout the legal process, I am assured that I am completely informed. Based on this ruling, I have my worst fears known, and I haven’t learned that until this legal process in 2021.

“One of the first things my lawyer said to me as disclosure started, as this process started, was ‘ did you know that the royal household sat on Ravec? “, and my jaw fell to the floor.” The Duke of Sussex felt disrespected by the system, according to Sir Geoffrey, who praised the arguments made by Harry’s barrister, Shaheed Fatima KC, as being “powerful and moving.”

But he said: “I concluded, having studied the detail of the extensive documentation, I could not say that the duke’s sense of grievance translated into a legal argument for the challenge to Ravec’s decision”. The duke was, in effect, entering and exiting the Ravec protection group, he continued. Although he was outside the cohort when he was in the UK, his security would be regarded as appropriate.

He added: “It was impossible to say that this reasoning was illogical or inappropriate, indeed it seemed sensible”. Ravec’s decision, according to Sir Geoffrey, was “understandable and perhaps predictable.” At Friday’s brief hearing, Harry was not present.

The Home Office, which is legally responsible for Ravec’s decisions, opposed the appeal, with its lawyers previously telling the court that Ravec’s decision was taken in a “unique set of circumstances” and that there was “no proper basis” for challenging it.

We are pleased that the court has decided in favor of the government’s position in this case, according to a Home Office spokesman. The UK Government’s security measures are fair and effective. It is our long-standing policy not to provide detailed information on those arrangements, as doing so could compromise their integrity and affect individuals ‘ security”.

The Mirror has approached Buckingham Palace for comment.
