Speaking to OK! Magazine, Eamonn explained that he has suffered from a “lot of pain” since dislocating two discs getting out of a low-slung car.
He shared: “I’ve had 90 minutes of rehab for my back pain today, which I do all the time. It’s slow progress.
“I know I’m not the only 61-year-old with health issues. I had two hip replacements when I was 55 but I wish I’d got them sooner and I worry about being a poster boy for ailments.”

He added: “We all go through these things. You’ve just got to make the most of life.”
