Eamonn Holmes shared a health update with his followers, discussing his future goals following his separation from Ruth Langsford. However, fans were more focused on a noticeable Photoshop error.

The GB News anchor has faced significant health challenges since 2016. Last week, he raised alarms when he unexpectedly became ill during a live broadcast. This incident followed his acknowledgement of being "on borrowed time" due to ongoing health issues.

Eamonn Holmes attended the TRIC awards last month using a wheelchair. In 2016, he underwent a hip replacement surgery that he described as "life-changing," followed by spinal surgery in 2022. Recently, he faced another setback after falling and breaking his shoulder.

Acknowledging that he "basically can't walk'',  the television presenter has been transparent about his health updates with his audience. He posted a photo on Instagram showing himself leaning against a door frame. However, some followers speculated that Eamonn had edited the photo because the door frame appears bent, according to reports from the Mirror.

In casual white trousers and a navy blue jumper, he captioned it: "Hard to stand up but next my aim is to walk . Off to a birthday party today . What about you?"

One follower claimed, "He's edited this pic, if you look bottom right, it's curved lol." Another added: "Look at the door as well." 

Someone else commented, "oh dear god lmao, photoshop fail ah Eamonn come on." Yet one fan hit back: "So what does it matter. We all edit photos to make us look and feel better."
