Eamonn says his latest attempt to improve is a simple one
Presenter Eamonn Holmes says he now struggles to get from A to B and needs walking aids after a series of back problems, surgery and a fall, and says he is indebted to wife Ruth Langsford. Eamonn, 63, began experiencing back pain two years ago and went on to suffer a dislocated pelvis, three slipped discs and a trapped sciatic nerve.
"Ruth’s not a particularly tolerant person but my god I’m so indebted to her. She’s from an army family and she just gets on with it, she’s a tour de force.”“I pay privately because my insurance only covers so much. I go to the paraplegic gym, I try my best but nothing much is getting better and no one has a prognosis as to whether it will get better.”
"There are so many things if I was prime minister that I would change and one is education about maintaining our backs. There was nothing wrong with my back until two years ago. Then your life’s turned upside-down. You get outraged on behalf of people who are permanently disabled and the lack of facilities for them. I can’t do things on my own, I need help and that’s a constantly humiliating thing. You’re judged on everything, people have an insight into your life.
“I thanked everybody for being there, I was quite funny about her because she was a real matriarch, she was nobody’s fool and she was surrounded by men, five sons, we all paid respect. I’m happy that she’s in a better place, I smile even as I’m saying it. I haven’t wept for her, I just thank God because it was a relief from her pain.
