The TV presenter shared a snap of himself in the back of the rapid response vehicle having been stretchered in.
He told fans: “An unexpected journey this morning ….. bit of a fall on the bathroom floor.
“Gosh it hurts. Thank you Ambulance crew.”
He later updated his fans with a photo of himself in hospital captioned: “Not how I wanted to be spending The Holiday weekend but life’s not easy these days ,
The 65-year-old has struggled with his mobility for the last few years as he battles intense back pain.
Eamonn – who is often seen out in a wheelchair or on crutches – was flooded with support from worried fans who wished him a speedy recovery.
But some fans weren’t as kind and Eamonn hit back at the cruel trolls.
“Eamonn your falling apart since you done the dirt on @ruthlangsford” stated one of his followers.
But Eamon hit right back and retorted: “Says the man whose profile reads “Be kind and be Nice.”
Fans also jumped in and one added: “No need to say anything at all about Ruth!”
“You need to change your bio, you obviously don’t know the meaning of kindness or nice” agreed another.
While a third said: “What a stupid comment you no nothing about the situation its private.”
Eammon’s 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.
Ruth and Eamonn’s relationship timeline
Before the shock split announcement, Ruth and Eamonn seemed like one of the strongest couples on UK TV – even with their signature bickering style.
Here’s how their romance played out…
1997 – The couple first meet after being introduced by mutual friends, two years after Eamonn splits from his first wife, Gabrielle, with whom he has three children.
1997-2002 – To be respectful to Gabrielle, the couple kept their relationship out of the limelight. Ruth told Daily Mail: “I thought it spoke volumes about the sort of man he was, the sort of father he was and the integrity he had. It made me love him more, not less.”
2002 – Ruth and Eamonn welcome their son, Jack, to the family.
2005 – Eamonn finalises his divorce with Gabrielle.
2006 – The pair begin to host Friday episodes of This Morning together.
2010 – Eamonn proposes to Ruth while at the Cheltenham Races, after asking Ruth’s mother for her hand.
June 2010 – Eamonn and Ruth marry at Elvetham Hall, Hampshire.
2016 – Eamonn undergoes a double hip replacement in the first of many health battles.
June 2019 – On This Morning, Ruth and Eamonn say the secret to their happy marriage. Eamonn credits “compromise, consideration and lots of conjugal,” while Ruth said it was “laughter and an equal marriage”.
November 2020 – Ruth and Eamonn are replaced on their regular Friday slot by Alison Hammond and Dermot O’Leary in a ‘show shake-up’.
December 2021 – After a year of being moved to the bank holiday presenting slot, both Eamonn and Ruth left This Morning.
January 2022 – Eamonn debuted on GB News, while Ruth stayed with ITV in her long-standing role on Loose Women.
September 2022 – Eamonn undergoes spinal surgery after years of back issues including a trapped sciatic nerve.
November 2022 – Eamonn falls down the stairs of his Surrey home with Ruth and breaks his shoulder, requiring a new operation.
September 2023 – Eamonn has a spine and neck stretching procedure as part of his year-long recovery.
May 2024 – Ruth and Eamonn announce they have split after 14 years of marriage and a 27-year relationship.
September 2024 – Eamonn was spotted on a luxury holiday in Barcelona with his new girlfriend Katie Alexander. Ruth calls in a ‘fierce’ divorce lawyer.
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 aid 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.”
The Sun exclusively revealed yesterday that Eamonn and Ruth have been cutting final ties after the TV host was accused of ‘dragging his feet’ over their divorce.
And have begun breaking up their shared business interests in a firm called Red White and Green.
They have also disposed of “plant and machinery” worth a massive £401,350.
Telly’s former This Morning presenters are joint directors of the outfit, and it was set up in 2021.
But only two years later in May 2023, it was revealed how Ruth and Eamonn had ended their 14-year marriage and how he’d fallen for another woman.
