EAMONN Holmes was told he was "too fat" on today's Good Morning Britain. The 58-year-old presenter was guest hosting the ITV show alongside Kate Garraway when they had a health expert on to discuss whether GPs fat-shaming patients can help them lose weight. Eamonn agreed that doctors should be able to comment on the size of a person in their care, he asked weight-loss expert Steve Miller if he would tell him to "lose two or three stone" to fix his health problems. Steve replied: "I would say that but I would also say to Eamonn that he is too fat and he is a heart attack waiting to happen. "He's about to clonk me for that." However, Eamonn reassured Steve he hadn't spoken out of turn, replying: "I'm not because you know I agree with you." It isn't the first time the two men have discussed Eamonn's size, as Steve told him to shift the pounds during an appearance on This Morning last year. He said at the time: "Would I say you're fat? I would say, 'Eamonn, I adore you but you are too … [Read more...] about Eamonn Holmes told he’s ‘too fat’ and a ‘heart attack waiting to happen’ by weight-loss expert on Good Morning Britain
Just a little heart attack
Young farmer died on way to hospital from complications after ‘silent heart attack’ days earlier, inquest hears
Bernadette Power issued the plea as a Cork Coroner's Court jury heard that the death of her husband, Thomas (40), was due to a side effect from a heart attack "most feared" by doctors and so severe that even had a Waterford cath lab been open it would have made little difference to saving him. Mr Power died from a large 3cm rupture in his cardiac wall brought on by "a silent heart attack" sustained between three and seven days earlier. The inquest jury returned a verdict of death by natural causes - but issued a recommendation that Mr Harris review resuscitation drug packs provided in ambulances for patient transfers between hospitals. The recommendation came after it emerged the ambulance transferring Mr Power ran out of special adrenalin doses during the trip from Waterford to Cork. Speaking after the inquest, Bernadette Power revealed she had only been married to Thomas for nine months - and had been pregnant with their first child when he died on June 18 2017. Mrs Power gave … [Read more...] about Young farmer died on way to hospital from complications after ‘silent heart attack’ days earlier, inquest hears
Eric Bristow: A flawed maverick champion who checked out a little sooner than we expected
Perhaps the most lucid insight into the character of Eric Bristow came not from one of the many playing rivals with whom he sparred - and usually beat - during his 1980s heyday. Nor did it come from one of the superstars of the current generation of darts, which owes its predecessors like Bristow so much. Nor even from the late, ornate Sid Waddell, the legendary commentator whose verbal flourishes gilded so many of Bristow’s finest days at the oche. No, it came from a woman who barely knew Bristow at all: the pop star Ashley Roberts, once of the Pussycat Dolls, who in 2012 spent three weeks in the Australian jungle with Bristow as part of ITV’s reality television show I’m A Celebrity, Get Me Out Of Here. “There’s no filter,” was Roberts’s observation. “When he thinks something, he just goes and says it. He doesn’t process it before he delivers the thought. He just says whatever is on his mind. Helen is the baby of the group, and she … [Read more...] about Eric Bristow: A flawed maverick champion who checked out a little sooner than we expected

Thomas O'Reilly admitted he rarely went to the doctor, but as he had none of the red flag indicators of a heart attack he was lulled into thinking he was in good health. Despite never smoking, drinking only an occasional glass of red wine, eating a healthy diet and taking a moderate amount of exercise, Mr O'Reilly (53) woke up on March 15 with chest pains. Within 30 seconds he realised the pain he was experiencing was … [Read more...] about Ex-MLA O’Reilly hails medics who saved him after heart attack
Brave man who had his first heart attack aged eight now waiting for transplant
A young man who suffered his first heart attack when he was just eight years old and has now been placed on the organ transplant list, has returned to the North East to speak about his condition and raise awareness about the importance of organ donations. Jim Lynskey, 22, suffers from dilated cardiomyopathy, which more commonly known as an enlarged heart.
