He notably arrived in a wheelchair due to health problems. During his acceptance speech, Eamonn made a remark whilst accepting the award for Best News Broadcast.
“I went for an operation a year and a half ago and it went wrong. I got two things in my back that I didn’t want,” he said.
Many interpreted this comment as a jab at his recent split from Ruth. A MailOnline source even claimed that Ruth was “hurt” by the comment.
However, in light of these interpretations, a spokesperson for Eamonn has clarified the intent behind his remarks.
In a statement to the Mirror, the spokesperson confirmed: “Eamonn’s comments had nothing to do with anything other than the two pins in his back after his surgeries.”
