Yahoo News Ruth Langsford fears husband Eamonn Holmes 'might never be 100 per cent'
Ruth Langsford is worried Eamon Holmes "might never be 100 percent right" amid his health struggles. The 64-year-old presenter is concerned for her husband - who she has been married to for 14 years - after he has suffered with chronic back pain for a number of years.
After stints in hospital in 2021, Eamonn discovered it was being caused by a dislocated pelvis and a trapped sciatic nerve. The presenter then underwent surgery last September 2022 to try to help relieve him of pain but suffered a fall during his recovery, which resulted in him fracturing his shoulder and having to have more surgery.
The 64-year-old is now reliant on walking aids and doesn't shy away from admitting that things are tough, often sharing updates on social media as well as when he appears on his GB News show.

While Ruth and Eamonn don't share too much of their personal life publically, Ruth has recently told Women's Weekly: "I don't know how much Eamonn's mobility will improve. We live in hope."
She continued: "He does the physio, but there might have to be some acceptance that this might never be 100 percent 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."
The TV star, who worked on This Morning with her husband for 15 years - admitted her husband's struggles have made her truly realise the importance of health. She added: "I look at Eamonn, who's had his health and back problems, and it makes you realise how important your health is."
Her comments come Eamonn, who still works three days a week for GB News, admitted earlier this year that he is worried about the "harsh reality" that he could never walk alone again with aids. He said: "I have tried every treatment, but you go, 'Maybe I'll never get out of it,' which is a harsh reality to face."
