Eamonn Holmes has sparked concern by posting a photograph of himself in a mobility scooter.
The GB News host, 63, took to Instagram on Saturday amid the ongoing heatwave in the UK to tell fans that he was enjoying the hot weather and had treated himself to an ice-cream while attending a motoring show as he soaked up the unexpected sunshine.
The Northern Irish TV presenter has suffered from health issues for over a year after suffering two prolapsed discs in his back. Eamonn was hospitalised last year after he was unable to sleep due to “excruciating pain” that was caused by the injury - and it seems he is still on the road to recovery.
"Gorgeous Day for a Poke .... and just look at Cars at Goodwood," Eamonn captioned the post before fans flocked to wish him well amid his chronic pain battle.

"Hope you are keeping well Eamonn. Wishing you all the love," another fan chimed, while someone else wrote: "Wow Eamonn, so sorry to see you having to use a mobility scooter. Hope that you can manage your pain soon."
Earlier this week, the former This Morning presenter poked fun at his own appearance as he utilised an unusual contraption to try to treat his agonising back pain issues.
Eamonn shared a selfie of himself strapped in to a piece of medical equipment. The star had straps holding down his shoulders, and a further strap wrapped around his head.
He explained that he was getting settled in to a spinal decompression table as he tried to stretch some of the pain away. However, he noted that his appearance looked like he could be preparing to hit an illuminated dance floor to show off some dance moves.
Sharing his selfie via Instagram, Eamonn wrote alongside: “I look like an 80's Disco dancer.... but actually on a rack having my neck and back stretched. Spine decompression.”
Spinal Decompression Therapy is said to help as many as 75 per cent of people that suffer from back pain - with the stretch table working by applying pressure on muscles which causes resistance and stretches out the muscles.
