Ruth urges Eamonn to have a go at Strictly

RUTH Langsford said she would like to see husband Eamonn Holmes take a twirl around the dancefloor with her Strictly pro Anton Du Beke if he appears on the show.

TV presenter Langsford and her professional partner Du Beke were booted off the BBC One programme on Sunday night.

When Langsford appeared on spin-off series It Takes Two, host Zoe Ball said she would like to see Belfast-born broadcaster Holmes among the contestants next year.

Laughing and pointing at Du Beke, who she became good friends with, Langsford said: “I think you and Eamonn should be partners!”

Langsford praised her husband for supporting her during her stint on the show and said he and her son Jack (15) were looking forward to some decent dinners after “living on microwave meals”.
