Eamonn Holmes learns to walk again using a harness as he undergoes gruelling physio in ‘nightmare’ health battle
EAMONN Holmes has revealed he is using a harness to help him learn to walk again following his horrific fall last year.
The broadcasting legend, 63, has been pictured standing up in the harness during a gruelling physiotherapy session.

Eamonn has a determined look on his face in the photograph and has told his fans that he is ‘walking with purpose’.
He captioned the snap: “Learning to walk with purpose today. Gosh I’m trying so hard.
“The harness gives me more confidence than I have . Wish me well .”
Eamonn, who is married to Loose Women star Ruth Langsford, has been inundated with messages of support since opening up about his treatment.
But in reply to S Club 7 star Jo O’Meara, the GB News anchor described his recover as a “nightmare”.
Jo had written: “Sending lots of love eammon .”
Sadly, he replied: “@jo_omeara When will this nightmare end?”
Friends and fans immediately rallied round in a bid to boost Eamonn’s positivity.
One told him: “Keep going Eamonn you’ve got this. We believe in you.”
Another wrote: “It will Eamonn. This is the hardest bit, as you retrain the muscles and brain connection. You can do it. Sending healing thoughts.”
And a friend told her pal: “Always cheering you on from the sidelines dear @eamonnholmes wishing you well x.”
TV presenter Lucy Alexander, whose 20-year-old daughter Kitty was left paralysed after contracting the virus Transverse myelitis aged seven, also replied to his post.
She told him: “I used to get kitty in the harness – this is GREAT!!! C’mon E you can do it. Super proud.”
Eamonn wrote back: “Please God .”
Last October, Eamonn underwent an operation after suffering from severe and chronic pain in his back.
But two weeks into his recovery he fell backwards down the stairs at the Weybridge home in Surrey that he shares with wife Ruth.
Last month Eamonn was spotted in a wheelchair as he left Wembley Stadium where he watched his team Manchester United beat Newcastle 2-0 to lift the Carabao Cup.
He has also been photographed using a pair of crutches.
After months off-screen Eamonn started making his return to TV in January, admitting he was struggling with staying indoors.
Recalling his horrific injuries, he said: “Suddenly it was as if someone had shot my left knee from behind.
“It literally collapsed without any warning. I was on a curve of the stairs, and I just went back down the stairs, boom, boom, boom down the whole staircase until I hit the stone floor in the hallway.
“Blood was pouring out my mouth, and a bone was sticking out my shoulder.”
Eamonn added to the Daily Mail: “Ruth came rushing down the stairs. She kept saying, ‘You’re fine, everything’s okay, you’re fine.’ I said, ‘Ruthie, there is a bone sticking out of my shoulder — I’m not fine’.”
Part of Eamonn’s rehabilitation is boxing sessions.
Earlier this week, he fans he is doing these specific exercises to help regain his balance again after the accident.

Qi2: How Apple might finally harness MagSafe by giving it away
It’s safe to say that Apple’s MagSafe magnetic charging pucks for iPhone have not created the amazing snap-on accessory ecosystem we’d hoped. Instead of freely allowing manufacturers to create gadgets that power and/or communicate with an iPhone, the company chose its traditional tight licensing stranglehold. But this time, manufacturers realized they didn’t need to play Apple’s game, because the two main components of MagSafe — a Qi wireless charging coil and an array of magnets — were freely available. The result: a wide array of “MagSafe-compatible” accessories of varying quality.
But now, Apple’s trying something different. With the blessing of competitors, Apple is about to change the Qi wireless standard itself. It’s contributing…

Scientists harness powers of Webb and Hubble in stunning galactic image
Stare into the core of the Phantom Galaxy.
New images from humanity’s most powerful space telescopes — the legendary Hubble telescope and its successor the James Webb Space Telescope — reveal unprecedented detail in this magnificent distant spiral galaxy. It’s 32 million light-years away.
The over 30-year-old Hubble telescope views light we can see (visible light), while the Webb telescope views a type of light with longer wavelengths (called “infrared light”) that isn’t visible to us. Together, these instruments gather bounties of data that reveal new insights about what lies in the distant cosmos.
The middle image below shows the combined views of the Hubble and Webb telescopes. What you can see:
-
The areas of bright pink in the reddish spirals are active star-forming regions
-
The bright blue dots are other stars
-
The core of the galaxy glows cyan and green. These are older stars clustered around the galactic center.

In the Webb image by itself (the top image of this story or the right-side image in the comparison above), it’s easy to see the many stars (shown in blue) amassed in the galaxy’s core. A lack of gas at the heart of the Phantom Galaxy makes this view exceptionally clear.
Hubble continues to capture dazzling views of distant stars and galaxies. Meanwhile, Webb, stationed 1 million miles away from Earth, is expected to reveal new insights about the universe. Here’s how Webb will achieve unparalleled things:
-
Giant mirror: Webb’s mirror, which captures light, is over 21 feet across. That’s over two and a half times larger than the Hubble Space Telescope’s mirror. Capturing more light allows Webb to see more distant, ancient objects. The telescope will peer at stars and galaxies that formed over 13 billion years ago, just a few hundred million years after the Big Bang.
“We’re going to see the very first stars and galaxies that ever formed,” Jean Creighton, an astronomer and the director of the Manfred Olson Planetarium at the University of Wisconsin–Milwaukee, told Mashable last year.
-
Infrared view: Webb is primarily an infrared telescope, meaning it views light in the infrared spectrum. This allows us to see far more of the universe. Infrared has longer wavelengths than visible light, so the light waves more efficiently slip through cosmic clouds; the light doesn’t as often collide with and get scattered by these densely-packed particles. Ultimately, Webb’s infrared eyesight can penetrate places Hubble can’t.
“It lifts the veil,” said Creighton.
-
Peering into distant exoplanets: The Webb telescope carries specialized equipment, called spectrometers, that will revolutionize our understanding of these far-off worlds. The instruments can decipher what molecules (such as water, carbon dioxide, and methane) exist in the atmospheres of distant exoplanets — be they gas giants or smaller rocky worlds. Webb will look at exoplanets in the Milky Way galaxy. Who knows what we’ll find?
“We might learn things we never thought about,” Mercedes López-Morales, an exoplanet researcher and astrophysicist at the Center for Astrophysics-Harvard & Smithsonian, told Mashable in 2021.
