Eamonn and I skewer celebs over a kebab
Ruth on venting after ‘ fake’ showbiz bashes
RUTH Langsford says she and hubby Eamonn Holmes often leave glitzy TV award ceremonies and then scoff at celebrities they don’t like back at home over a kebab.
The This Morning and Loose Women presenter admitted there is a lot of fake niceness at showbiz bashes – and they unwind by telling the truth.
Ruth, 60, said: “After award ceremonies, Eamonn and I end up in a kebab shop. Or a drivethrough Mcdonald’s, as they never feed you at those events.
“I always have to go in my finery, I am in my long frock and say, ‘ Chicken kebab and chips, please’. The best part of the night is we get home and sit and slag everybody y off.
It is like we can an go to a dinner party, we can go where we don’t know people that well. We do that ‘ Great to meet you, lovely’.
“Then we get in the car and [ Eamonn] will go ‘ That guy, what a tosser’ and I am like ‘ Couldn’t stand him’. So we like and dislike the same people.”
Speaking to Kate Thornton on the White Wine Question Time podcast, Ruth also told of how she stood up to a sexist colleague g early in her career as a transmission trans worker. Sh She said: “I used to m make 12 mugs of tea a at 9am and 11am.
“I remember taking this tea around and a guy p pinched my arse.
“I lit literally put the tray down, slammed his tea down so it slopped and said, ‘ If you ever touch me again I will break your f*** ing arm’.”
