Eamonn Holmes was aided by a walking frame as he attended the funeral of Manchester United footballer Denis Law.

The Northern Irish broadcaster, 65, was among the stars to arrive to pay their respects to the Scottish striker in Manchester on Tuesday after his death last month aged 84.

Eamonn was seen getting out of a taxi ahead of the service as he prepared to pay his respects. 

For the service, Eamonn – who admitted last year that he now struggles to walk – was aided by a zimmer frame. 

After surgery on his back in 2022 for a slipped disc, he has not been able to walk unaided and often relies on a wheelchair.

Speaking in January last year he said the ‘harsh reality’ could be that he may never be able to walk unaided again.

In 2016, Eamonn underwent a double-hip replacement operation lasting three-and-a-quarter hours after living with acute pain for many years.

Eamonn discussed his use of a wheelchair back in December when he mentioning a Christmas travel warning on his Breakfast show. 

With the trains being pushed as an alternative for those trying to make their way home over the festive period, Eamonn made a sad admission. 

He said: ‘The train definitely could be a dream, but I’m now sort of wheelchair laden… you rely on a lot of people to get you on and off. It’s very, very difficult doing that.’

‘I just threw that in… it’s not a concern to anybody, but there we go,’ he confessed.

Sympathising with his situation, his co-host Isabel Webster acknowledged: ‘Well, it’s a consideration for lots people in the same position as you, Eamonn.’

It comes after Eamonn admitted that he thinks it’s okay to lie to your partner in a relationship – following his split from Ruth Langsford. 

The GB News host, 65, made the confession during a debate on the topic on his morning show on the channel.

Speaking on Monday, Eamonn revealed that dating apps have claimed a third of people tell lies to make themselves seem more interesting to potential, and current, partners. 

After a dating coach claimed it breaks the trust in a relationship to lie, Eamonn disagreed and drew on what appeared to be his own experience. 

‘”Does my bum look big in this? No of course it doesn’t.” So does that make me a bad person then, Jo?’ he asked. 

Eamonn added: ‘Let’s face it, we’re all quite boring. We are all quite boring. You ask a person to tell you about your life and they expect you to give some sort of revelation that you do things people don’t usually do and it’s just not the case. I imagine Jo that I embellish, I’m an embellisher. 

‘If you’re looking to find the most attractive person on that dating app you’re not going to say I sat on the couch watched TV and ate pizza are you?’

It came after Eamonn’s ex-wife Ruth showed on Sunday she was having plenty of fun after the break-up, hitting the town with good friend Lizzie Cundy for a girls’ night out which she documented on Instagram.
