Eamonn Holmes paid tribute to "professional" NHS staff today after a terrifying fall in his bathroom left him fearing for his life.
Yesterday, the 65-year-old GB News presenter revealed he "thought he was dead" following the incident which occurred last weekend.
The broadcaster, who has faced health challenges in recent years, praised hospital staff in his second day back on air.
He said: "I think tradition is very important. Uniforms are very important. Obviously I was in hospital last week and the hospital and NHS was so good.

"Everybody was just so well dressed and you could tell that person was a nurse. That person is a doctor, that person is from the X-ray or whatever it is.
"You could tell there was just difference and everything seemed professional."

This comes after Eamonn delivered a fresh health update yesterday, in his first show back on air since the fall.
He said: "I fell very badly over the weekend. I was really worried about myself. I fell on the bathroom floor. And once I was down, I couldn’t get up.
"I honestly thought I was dying. Luckily, my phone was within reach, thank goodness. I was able to call someone, and when they arrived, they decided I needed an ambulance.
"When the ambulance crew got there, they agreed I definitely needed to go to hospital. It was the worst bang to my head and shoulders, it was really awful."

He later added: "I went down and thought, I’m dead. Really. I’ve never had a bang to the head as painful and as powerful as that before."
The incident occurred on Friday, with Eamonn initially sharing a photo from inside the ambulance on social media.
"An unexpected journey this morning... bit of a fall on the bathroom floor. Gosh it hurts. Thank you Ambulance crew," he wrote at the time.
The ambulance crew quickly responded to the incident, transporting the presenter to the hospital for treatment.
Issuing an update on how he was doing, Eamonn also posted a selfie from his hospital bed and penned: “Not how I wanted to be spending The Holiday weekend...
“But life’s not easy these days. Thanks to everybody who is looking after me.”
Eamonn has previously been open about his health struggles in recent years, often using a wheelchair or crutches to get around due to mobility issues.
