Eamonn Holmes has said he will not allow his chronic pain to stop him working.

The television presenter, 61, revealed on Thursday he had gone to hospital to try to find out what was causing “pain like I’ve never experienced in my life”.

Mr Holmes shared a selfie of himself at the hospital with his face covered by a mask.

Alongside the snap he wrote: “At Hospital ..... pain like I’ve never experienced in my life . Need to find out what’s causing this.”

He then asked his followers: “Wish me well.”

Many shared their well-wishes with the TV presenter.

Dermot O’Leary wrote: “Sending love, Eamonn”, while Vicky Pattison added: “Feel better soon, Mr.”

ITV doctor Amir Khan wrote: “Sending you lots of positive vibes”, and Christine McGuinness said: “Sending lots of love.”

On Friday morning, Mr Holmes opened up about the “variations” of chronic pain he has experienced “for years”.

He tweeted: “Will have clearer picture of what’s causing my pain tomorrow but just to say folks like so many of you I’ve lived with variations of chronic pain for years.

“Don’t allow it to stop me working & next week I’d like to be a voice for many of u & discuss the subject on This Morning.”

He added he is “proud that my experience has given you a voice and I’m humbled by your various and different experiences & your kindness to me”.

“If between us we can get more solutions more understanding and more resources directed towards CP then that would be a result,” he said.

Good Morning Britain’s Charlotte Hawkins confirmed that Mr Holmes left the hospital and revealed he hadn’t stayed overnight.

Speaking on Friday’s edition of GMB, Charlotte said: “I was messaging Eamonn last night when I saw the picture he put up.

“Obviously everyone is very worried about how he is.

“Of course we do send him all of our love, Eamonn we are thinking of you.”
