Belfast born TV host 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.
Eamonn says his latest attempt to improve is a simple one, adding: “The latest one I’m trying is this back stretching. But the broadcaster’s struggles have made him realise how many people experience similar pain. “There’s a huge appetite in people wanting to know how you’re doing,” he said. “So many people have got back problems and they want somebody to share that with. It strikes me that there’s a pain epidemic and a back pain epidemic.
He led George Best ’s funeral ceremony in the city in 2015, saying it was one of his “proudest, most important duties”. The presenter, one of five brothers, lost his mum Josephine, 94, in November and was unable to attend her funeral due to his health. “I paid a tribute to my mum before the mass started,” he says.
“My dad died in 1991, I was going out the door and this man came up to me and he handed me £30. He said: ‘I just want to tell you something, when I was in my early 20s my wife had a baby and the child died and we hadn’t got any money to bury the child. Your dad gave me £30, he said he didn’t want it back and we buried our child. ‘I just want you to know what a good man he was’.”
