Eamonn shared an update with fans on Instagram

The Irish presenter recently spoke about his battle with chronic pain, and his wife Ruth Langsford went on to address his remarks on an episode of Loose Women.

She explained: "People have asked about [Eamonn's] health because he's had a really rough year this year. Bulging discs in his back, he hasn't been able to walk properly, it's transferred down his leg and he's really finding it hard to walk."

The mum-of-one went on: "He said in this interview, which actually made me feel a bit sad, he said, 'I think my family are a bit fed up with me now.' He said, 'The kids are a bit embarrassed about how I move around or don't move around, and Ruth's getting a bit fed up with me.'"

Discussing the comment, Ruth said: "I thought, well, I am and I'm not. Do you know what I mean? It's human. You can't help, but when you're helping someone all the time and they’re very incapacitated it’s hard to be Florence Nightingale all the time."
