Since being released from the hospital, Eamonn has experienced a “flare-up” and decided to take it easy while watching some classic films.

He posted a selfie to his Instagram wearing a black cowboy hat and gave fans an update.

“Howdy Pilgrims ….. My Head and Neck muscles having a flare up since my fall. Been prescribed a day of watching Westerns to help recuperate,” he began the post.

“On my list Russel Crowe in The 3.10.from Yuma , John Wayne in Red River and Kevin Costner Dances with Wolves . It’s medicine – honestly ! 😊 … feeling better already – Ouch !!!”

Eamonn’s fans rushed to send him well-wishes in the comments section of the post.

“John Wayne films definitely the best to watch or Clint Eastwood 👏get well soon 😍,” wrote one person.

Another added: “Get well soon cowboy! 🤠”

And a third posted: “Feel better soon Eamonn.Enjoy your westerns.❤️.”

A source previously told The Sun about the fall, saying: “Eamonn slipped in the bathroom last week and took a bad tumble.

“He was taken to hospital in a lot of pain and went through a series of tests.

“Fortunately, he didn’t suffer any broken bones and is now on the mend.

“He was very lucky.”

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.

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.
