He’s now written from his hospital bed: “Not how I wanted to be spending The Holiday weekend…… but life’s not easy these days. Thanks to everybody who is looking after me.”
Many wished him well, with one supporter posting: “Hope you’re ok my love.”
Another said: “Take care lovely man xx.”
However, others questioned the need for the photos, with one commenting: “Why do people post pics of themselves in hospital?”
Another responded with a series of mini violins.
Earlier in the day, Eamonn shared a picture of himself lying down inside the back of the rapid response vehicle.
He told fans: “An unexpected journey this morning ….. bit of a fall on the bathroom floor.
“Gosh it hurts. Thank you Ambulance crew.”
It’s not clear whether Eamonn, 65, was with his girlfriend Katie Alexander at the time of his accident.
The TV star – who is often seen out in a wheelchair or on crutches – has struggled with his mobility for the last few years as he battles intense back pain.
Why Ruth Langsford and Eamonn Holmes REALLY split & her furious reaction when she caught him on phone call to his lover
His chronic condition began unexpectedly in 2021 and soon he was unable to walk without a stick to help him.
The pain was caused by a dislocated pelvis, which later resulted in him sustaining three slipped disks.
While recovering from surgery, he fell down the stairs at his home in Weybridge and broke his shoulder.
A further spine and neck procedure in 2023 did little to alleviate Eamonn’s pain.
He has admitted the pain has led to him having countless “sleepless nights” and caused rows with his estranged wife Ruth Langsford over how much medication he relies on taking.
Eamonn and Ruth announced their split in May last year having started dating in 1991.
Ruth had previously opened up about how Eamonn’s chronic pain had put a strain on the couple.
She said: “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.”
