Frustrated Eamonn Holmes issues health update after worrying fans as he uses mobility scooter

EAMONN Holmes has issued a health update after worrying fans when he shared a snap of him in a mobility scooter.

The former This Morning presenter, 63, has been suffering from chronic back pain over the past few years.

Eamonn has kept his followers up to date with his health battle on social media.

Earlier today, the journalist opened up about how he's been while he was discussing the NHS.

"See, I always thought I'd have liked to have been a doctor.

"I never thought I was smart enough really to do it," Eammon said.

The star continued on : "I realise now because I get so many consultations with so many people about what's wrong with me.

"And do you know what?

"Nobody knows! It's not joined up."

It comes after Eammon sparked concern as he ate an ice cream in a mobility scooter while at a motoring event earlier this month.

Just weeks before he had undergone an operation on his back.

He unfortunately fell down the stairs two weeks into his recovery.

Earlier this month he explained what had happened.

Speaking to his guest Tim Franklin, the former Sky News Sunrise host remarked: "I can't run, I can't walk, I can't do anything except watch TV and eat.

"I just got problems last year in my back, which I haven't recovered from. It's not good, it's not a good recipe I have to say.

Turning to the panellist, he hinted that he struggles to build the energy to heal as he remarked: "You are a good motivation for all of us.

"What would you say to people out there who just have not got that motivation?"

He also posted a picture from a recent medical procedure.

Eammon had a band wrapped around his head.

He captioned the post: "I look like an 80's Disco dancer 🕺 .... but actually on a rack having my neck and back stretched.

"Spine decompression."
