Boozy Ruth!
Eamonn Holmes’ other half admits to being ‘a bit squiff’ after one too many... It’s gin o’clock for Ruth, Vanessa and a rather handsome drinks expert!
Some days at work are better than others – and, during a recent episode of This Morning, Ruth Langsford certainly seemed to enjoy her stint as co-host more than usual!
The game mum-of-one, 58, who with hubby Eamonn Holmes was filling in for Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield on the daytime chat show until the end of August, threw herself into live alcohol testing with gusto.
Necking gin merrily along with fellow presenter Vanessa Feltz, 56, (who isn’t usually a drinker), she seemed to be having a great time. Giggling like a schoolgirl, Ruth even confessed after a few, ‘There’s something about drinking on live TV that makes you a bit squiff.’
Of course, ever-mischievous Eamonn couldn’t help sticking his oar in, teasing his wife, ‘Do you need me to host the rest of the show?’
And Lisa Snowdon, 46, who appeared later to present a fashion segment, admitted she was jealous, asking, ‘Is there any more gin?’ To which Ruth replied, slurring slightly, ‘Don’t let me have any more... I’ve got to read this now!’
Something that viewers also noticed was how ‘sexy’ the gin expert, Carl Anthony Brown, was. One commented hilariously online, ‘Stuff the gin, I wouldn’t mind sampling the “expert”.’
Another went even further, suggesting Carl should join the cast of Magic Mike!
No wonder Ruth had such a big grin on her face – though she and Vanessa were accused of ‘shouting’ over Carl as the effects of their gin-fest appeared to take hold!
A bit of a mid-morning boozing session, and dealings with an incredibly handsome man? All in a day’s work for our Ruth...
Regular This Morning host Holly, 37, has had a few tipsy on-air moments herself over the years.
Who else thinks a TV drink-off between Ruth and Holly could be pretty epic?!
