This isn't the first time Eamonn has been injured as the journalist spent some time in hospital earlier this month after suffering a fall.

Taking to Instagram on May 2nd, Eamonn shared an image of himself in hospital later revealing what really happened.

The star said: "I was very worried about me. [I] fell on the bathroom floor and once I was down, I couldn’t get up. It was the worst bang to my head and shoulder.

"I went down and I said, ‘I’m dead’ I have never had a bang to the head as sore and as powerful as that before. I lay there and I thought, ‘Where’s the blood?’

"There was nothing, no blood, no split, nothing like that."
