Eamonn recently admitted that fracturing his shoulder in a fall is a ‘massive setback’ but revealed that he’s improving ‘day by day’ and remaining positive thanks to messages from fans.
His GB News co-host Isabel Webster revealed that he’ll be absent from work until the New Year as he recovers.
Speaking about his injury, the Breakfast show anchor discussed the ‘amazing’ NHS workers he have been taking care of him throughout his ordeal.
Eamonn told GB News of fracturing his shoulder during the fall: ‘It was a massive setback and means I’m going to need to take some extra time off to get myself better.

‘It’s been a hellish few weeks. But day by day I’m improving and I am remaining positive and trying to look on the bright side.’
‘I can’t say a big enough thank you to everyone who has sent me lovely messages, they’ve really cheered me up and kept me going.’
Praising the NHS, Eamonn added: ‘Also, I really must say a heartfelt thank you to the doctors and nursing staff who have been looking after me. They all are amazing. God bless.’
The popular TV star admitted that he is itching to get back to work at GB News alongside Isabel, bringing the news of the day to viewers.
Eamonn also insisted that he is ‘determined’ to keep speaking up for all of the people suffering with chronic pain.

And last week, his co-host Isabel said it’s been ‘heartbreaking’ to see how pain her colleague has endured over the last few months.
And with the TV favourite now likely to be off screens until the New Year as he recovers, Isabel has admitted that she misses him ‘just as much as viewers’.
