The television favourites, who became household names during their 15-year run as co-hosts on ITV’s This Morning from 2006 until 2021, revealed in May this year that they were to divorce following 14 years of marriage. But in a revealing conversation on the How To Be 60 podcast with Kaye Adams and Karen Mackenzie, which was released in February 2023, 64 year old Eamonn shone a light on his and Ruth’s relationship and explained how humour was an important part of their time together.

When quizzed about whether laughter was a constant in their relationship, the GB News presenter shared: “Oh, I’d have to laugh a lot married to her, yes. I mean, as she said… she always said to me, ‘If you didn’t make me laugh so much, we’d be divorced’. That’s what she says.” He continued, highlighting their strong bond: “But yeah, we have a good relationship from the (that) point of view. Ruth’s got a very good sense of humour and we do… we do laugh a lot. She can take a joke very well.”
