Fans were partly cheered when Eamonn announced “progress is happening” after suffering “pain he’s never felt in his life”.

But Eamonn says sleep is his “only escape” from the agony.

He recommended fans who are suffering from chronic pain not to underestimate the power of using prayer.

The TV legend told fans: “First physio session of the day finished. Best one yet.

“Feel like progress happening. Energy really flowing. Let’s hope it stays that way.”

He has said he won’t know what’s wrong with him until this week because the doctors who can help him are off for Easter.

In 2016, Eamonn underwent a double hip operation yet told how he feared he would die just two hours before the surgery.

After learning his pal, Sir Terry Wogan, had passed away shortly before his operation the former Sky News host told the Daily Star: “It was very foreboding. I was not very optimistic about the whole thing.”
