While her fellow panellists – Franke Bridge, Carol McGiffin, and Kelle Bryan – all agreed a sex ban wouldn’t work in their relationships, Ruth admitted there is one thing Eamonn would do to ensure he gets sex.

She said: “You can have all the compliments and the flowers but then, if Eamonn comes home and has used my car and he goes, “Filled the petrol up and did your water bottle,” I’m like, ‘Get upstairs right now'”.

As the studio audience burst into fits of laughter, Ruth continued: “I hate doing it. Literally, I’ll go round with my petrol light on red, the water bottle empty, smeared [windscreen], I’m like, ‘Oh I can’t stop and do that,’ so he’ll do it for me and he knows, he knows.” She added with a smirk: “Everyone’s got their little trick.”

Speaking about their separation, which was confirmed today, a source said: “It’s a very sorry tale. They are both so loved by the British public, they won over so many people on This Morning which they hosted for more than a decade.” They added: “They were as close to Richard Madeley and Judy Finnegan as you could get,” reports MailOnline. Meanwhile, a pal of the pair told The Sun how the couple drifted apart in recent months as their work commitments “took them in different directions”.

Eamonn and Ruth haven’t appeared in each other’s Instagram photos since July 2022. They still spoke about each other in interviews and on their respective shows, Good Morning Britain and Loose Women, however their social media accounts told a different story.

In a poignant post, Ruth last shared a snap of the pair on their anniversary two years ago as she captioned the post: “Happy Anniversary my love @eamonnholme Loved you then Love you still Always have Always will.”
