Eamonn Holmes recently opened up about his health struggles as he described the pain he’s been suffering from a trapped sciatic nerve. The presenter has admitted the pain is sometimes so severe it has left him struggling to walk. While hosting GB News’ breakfast show on Wednesday morning, Eamonn revealed he’d considered buying a mobility scooter to aid him amid his health challenges.

Eamonn chatted about the rising popularity of e-scooters on GB News with Martin Daubney and Jon Smith.

“When you’re 26 or 36 you don’t care,” Jon added.

“You’re too young for four wheels,” he insisted.
