The TV veteran has been candid about his health struggles, and just months ago, he was still grappling with mobility issues and enduring pain. Recently, Eamonn has even been spotted using a wheelchair at events, including one last month.

Demonstrating the cutting-edge Alter G anti-gravity treadmill in his latest update, Eamonn explained to his social media followers: "Hello there. This is my latest exploit. This is what's called an anti-gravity treadmill. It's an Alter G anti-gravity treadmill."

He elaborated: "And the reason it's called anti-gravity is you'll see down here ... I'm being supported by quite a big balloon."

Delving deeper into how the technology aids his rehabilitation, he added: "And the balloon holds my weight. What it does really, the machine, if I now walk or run in this, and it helps my legs and my body remember what it was like to move like this before things went wrong, that have been wrong for a long time."
