With the trains being pushed as an alternative for those trying to make their way home during the festive period, Eamonn made a sad admission. He said: 'The train definitely could be a dream, but I'm now sort of wheelchair laden... you rely on a lot of people to get you on and off. It's very, very difficult doing that.'.

'I just threw that in... it's not a concern to anybody, but there we go,' he confessed. Sympathising with his situation, his co-host Isabel Webster acknowledged: 'Well, it's a consideration for lots people in the same position as you, Eamonn.'. Eamonn Holmes has admitted that life in a wheelchair is 'very, very difficult' in a rare health update on Wednesday's episode of GB News.
Eamonn Holmes has been reliant on a wheelchair since back surgery. Back in September, the former This Morning star revealed he 'can no longer walk or look after himself' in a frank video. After surgery on his back in 2022 for a slipped disc, he has not been able to walk unaided and often relies on a wheelchair.
