A representative for Eamonn told Express.co.uk on Wednesday: "As a consequence of being laid low by major surgery, Eamonn suffered a fall at home a couple of weeks ago and had to undergo another operation.

"He's naturally gutted by the setback, but the good news is the surgery on his shoulder went well. He's now receiving fantastic care and rest," Eamonn's rep continued.

Eamonn gave an update after his first surgery

Eamonn opened up about his first surgery on GB News on 5 October, saying: "This time last week I was lying on a slab in a hospital being operated on, I'm one week on from the operation and I have to say rumours of my death have been hugely exaggerated…

“It's early days, it’ll probably be about three weeks before they know if it's been a success or not."

The presenter candidly admitted before the surgery that it had a 20 per cent chance of making things worse, but said he felt that it was worth the risk.
