looked in high spirits as he arrived at The Hippodrome Casino for a Q&A with fans on Tuesday, after being forced to give up his £15,000-a-year Manchester United season tickets amid his ongoing health battle.
The veteran TV presenter, 66, saw his health spiral when he dislocated his pelvis in 2021, sustaining three slipped disks.
During his recovery from surgery, Eamonn then endured a further blow when he fell at the former marital home he once shared with ex-wife , breaking his shoulder.
Despite his struggles, the father-of-four, who is largely immobile and relies on a wheelchair, appeared in great spirits as he arrived at the casino alongside TV presenter Hayley Palmer for a special live Audience With event.
For the evening, Eamonn looked dapper in a blue suit, teamed with a crisp white shirt and chunky black-and-white trainers.
Hayley, meanwhile, cut a stylish figure in a red tweed jacket and black mini dress, appearing delighted as she greeted Eamonn outside the venue.

The event saw the pair reflect on his remarkable television career, sharing memorable live moments, behind-the-scenes stories and the experiences that have shaped one of Britain’s most recognisable broadcasters.
The evening also featured an audience Q&A, giving fans the chance to take part in the conversation.
It comes after Eamonn revealed he now watches his beloved Manchester United just once or twice a season due to his health woes, a change he admits has made a 'big difference' to his life.
The star previously told how he used to spend £15,000 a year on two season tickets, which he now passes on to one of his sons.
Speaking to The Sun at the World Young Chef, Young Waiter, and Young Mixologist Championship World Final 2026 in London, he said: 'My son lives in Manchester and he’s a United nut, so the tickets go to him.
'I sit on the Manchester United Foundation board, and therefore I can get access to the directors’ box area where it’s more suited to somebody in a wheelchair, like me.
The star added that his usual seats would be 'impossible' to access and use in a wheelchair.
He continued: 'I get to see very few games. I’m down to maybe one or two a year now. That’s been a big difference in my life.'

Speaking on the Session 7 podcast, Eamonn gave an insight into his current condition saying: 'I'm sick. I'm in a wheelchair. That's been horrendous to deal with for two years.
'Certainly I don't think TV wants to know you when, I mean there's nothing you and I are talking and no one can there's anything wrong but I can't get up.'
Eamonn said he has carers 'throughout the day' and that once he is sitting down, he is able to do most things on his own.
The former This Morning host said 'your health really is your wealth' before adding that he understands society finds it hard to 'deal with' people with disabilities.
Daily Mail's Katie Hind recently revealed what Eamonn's GB News colleagues had been whispering about him amid his notable absence from screens.
Eamonn talked about his health woes in a previous interview with the Sunday World, telling the Irish publication: 'I have to have carers now looking after me.
'Somebody dresses me in the morning, somebody undresses me at night, somebody gets my food for me.
'I have to be tested with spinal injections to see if it will take, and then grow some life back into my spine and legs. It's all very experimental. I'll know next week. I'd say this is the toughest stage of my life ever. And I just battle on.'
Meanwhile, Eamonn's ex Ruth has recently revealed from the Northern Irish presenter.
The couple, who share son Jack, separated in May 2024 after 14 years of marriage.
Speaking to Rylan Clark on BBC Radio 2, Ruth said: 'I've had counselling and its the best thing I ever did.'
'All the situations and other things have come up and that was through a friend of mine who said, "Would you please maybe think about seeing my counsellor?"
'And she had helped her through a very difficult divorce. And I went, "I don't need to see a counsellor, to tell me I'm sad". She was like, "Honestly it's so much more that that".'
Ruth continued: 'Anyway, she pecked my head for so long. Eventually I said yes to shut her up, to be honest. I went, "Fine ok".
'It's the best thing I ever did and I'm still doing it. With your friends they're always on your side really and they will stand by you whatever decisions you make or however you're feeling, they'll hold you up.
'A counsellor is very different, they look at the bigger picture, they don't know you and they never tell you what to do. She's never told me what to do, she's just guided me to think in different ways about things.
'Lots of people have picked up on this saying that she said to me, which was, "Find your light".
'Everything felt so dark and she said, "Just use that energy that your feeling anger and sadness, try and bring that energy here and find your light"'.
