Ruth Langsford has shared her fears for husband Eamonn Holmes after the GB News presenter was seen in a wheelchair.
Eamonn has been open about his battle with chronic pain. Now Ruth has said that the couple are facing up to the fact that he may “never be 100% right”, despite months of gruelling daily physio.

Ruth Langsford on Eamonn Holmes’ pain battle
Speaking to Woman’s Weekly, Ruth shared: “I don’t know how much Eamonn’s mobility will improve. We live in hope. He does the physio, but there might have to be some acceptance that this might never be 100% right.
“With any care situation – and there are millions of carers in this country – it isn’t always easy. It’s testing but we manage as a family.”
Ruth added: “I look at Eamonn, who’s had his health and back problems, and it makes you realise how important your health is.”
‘Obviously frustrating’
Eamonn’s previously had operations on his back to help with bulging discs. He then faced a setback when he fell and broke his shoulder last year.
He’s been using a walking stick for a while now. But new photos recently showed him in a wheelchair after a particularly tough physio session.
A source close to Eamonn told the Mirror: “Eamonn has been using walking aids for around 18 months now so not much has changed unfortunately. He is doing everything he can but the lack of progress from the physio has obviously been a bit frustrating. But he continues to have physio sessions pretty much every day and continues to work hard in his rehabilitation.
“He is in pain a lot of the time and so that is not fun at all. But he keeps going and he is loving his work still and he is a journalist at heart.”
Eamonn admits ‘you could not make it up’
Speaking on GB News earlier this year, Eamonn opened up about living with chronic pain.
“It’s as if somebody up there is playing with my life. In the past year I’ve had an operation on my back which went wrong and has confined me to a wheelchair. I’ve fallen and broken my shoulder. Honestly you could not make it up.”
He then added: “I have tried every treatment, but you go: ‘Maybe I’ll never get out of it,’ which is a harsh reality to face.”
