Christopher agreed that it's a concern, adding: "Everybody I know is putting in lifts. You can put a lift in now very, very cheaply if you've got the space. Two flights of stairs, for me, is quite something."
Co-host Isabel Webster asks Eamonn and Christopher if they'd prefer a lift to a chair lift, to which Christopher replied: "I would hate a chair lift, that would be so embarrassing."

Eamonn has spoken in the past about his chronic back pain, telling The Sun: "For months now I haven't been able to walk, sometimes at all, and it has really taken its toll on everyone around me too... I had to stop driving and sold my car back to the dealer too, which felt quite emasculating.
In an appearance on This Morning, before he moved over to GB News, the presenter said: "The thing I'm struggling with at the moment is a dead right leg. I've had dislocated discs for the past five months. I'm having all sorts of treatment and working through it with all sorts of things like dietary and hydrotherapy."
