EAMONN Holmes struggled to walk and said "I'm not ok" after arriving at the TRIC Awards alone in a wheelchair.
The broadcaster, 64 - who has been struggling with ill-health in recent years - attended the annual ceremony in London earlier today following his split from wife Ruth Langsford.
Eamonn - who is struggling with chronic pain - had a double hip replacement in 2016, followed by surgery last year, which left him using a wheelchair.
The TV star was nominated for the Best News Presenter and Best News Broadcast - and was even considering not attending due to his ill-health.
He arrived at the glitzy event in a wheelchair and later used a walker to get around.

After GB News were announced as Best News programme, Eamonn told the audience: “I wasn’t going to come, but I’ve got this new chair with all these gadgets.
“I had an operation a year and a half ago, and two things went wrong so I have two things in my back I don’t want.
"So I’ll happily accept this.”
It comes weeks after Eamonn and Ruth announced that they had gone their separate ways last month.
Speaking about their split at the awards ceremony, Eamonn said: “I’m not OK. This is not a good time at all.”
He added to The Mirror: "It’s too early to say but I hope we can still be friends."
The TRIC Awards in 2022 was the last time that he was spotted with Ruth.
Eamonn's close friend also opened up about his 'difficult' split from Ruth Langsford saying 'he's the strongest person I know'.
Newsreader Isabel Webster, 41, who works with the broadcaster on GB News, has shown her support for the pair since their shock split.
The Sun caught up with Isabel on the red carpet outside the TRIC Awards in London today, and asked how Eamonn has been getting on.

When asked if she has support him during his split from Ruth, Isabel said: "100 per cent.
"I love Ruth and I love Eamonn and I've got nothing but love for them.
"I wish them all the very best - divorce is difficult for anyone.
"When you're in the public eye, it's got to be even more difficult
"I've been in touch with Ruth but you'll have to ask her about her divorce."
