Ruth Langsford fears husband Eamonn Holmes 'will never be 100 per cent right' but she 'lives in hope' as he continues his recovery following back surgery
Ruth Langsford has revealed she fears her husband Eamonn Holmes 'might never be 100 per cent right' after undergoing back surgery due to suffering chronic back pain for almost two years.
The presenter and journalist, 64, is still recovering from the surgery and an injury to his shoulder, which saw him takes four months off work at the end of last year.
He has ongoing daily physio sessions and either uses a cane or wheelchair to get about, with the support of his wife Ruth.
The Loose Women presenter, 64, who has been married to Eamonn for 14 years, said she 'lives in hope' that his mobility will improve.
Speaking to Woman's Weekly, Ruth said: 'I don't know how much Eamonn's mobility will improve. We live in hope.

'He does the physio, but there might have to be some acceptance that this might never be 100% right. With any care situation - and there are millions of carers in this country - it isn't always easy. It's testing but we manage as a family.'
Ruth added: 'I look at Eamonn, who's had his health and back problems, and it makes you realise how important your health is.'
Eammon has been open with fans in explaining his health woes - the most recent of which was a fall which broke his shoulder.
Speaking to his 764,000 followers on Instagram in January, the host said in a sit-down video: 'Hello there everybody, just to say that after nearly four months away off the telly, I'm back tomorrow.
'Sounds like a threat doesn't it! No, I mean you may or may not be aware of what happened to me, I had back surgery, I've had disc problems.
'I then got some back surgery which affected one of my legs which led to me falling down stairs, which led to me breaking my shoulder.

The Loose Women presenter, 64, who has been married to Eamonn for 14 years, said she 'lives in hope' that his mobility will improve
'So I had a leg that didn't work and a shoulder that didn't work and lots of other things in-between but here I am.
'I feel there are only so many box sets that I can watch and recommend to you - I'm not better, but I'm better than I was.
'And I've decided to make an attempt to go back to work, on GB News from tomorrow on the basis that work will hopefully heal me.
'Any of you that are long-term sick or in any way convalescing particularly at home will know that there's a lot of frustration involved in it.
'For me I think I'm going to give it a go, be back to work and hopefully get better as a result of doing day-to-day things.
'So on a day-to-day basis all I need is you to be there, GB News, with Isabel, from tomorrow, from 6 through to 9.30am, hope you can join me,' he said.
In November 2023, his GB News co-host Isabel Webster revealed that he'd be absent from work until the New Year as he recovers.

Speaking about his injury, the much-loved Breakfast show anchor discussed the 'amazing' NHS workers he have been taking care of him throughout his ordeal.
Eamonn said 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.'
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.'
Eamonn also insisted that he is 'determined' to keep speaking up for all of the people suffering with chronic pain.
