Eamonn Holmes and Ruth Langsford clashed on This Morning today while enjoying a tasty kombucha cocktail.
After Ruth, 60, accused Eamonn, also 60, of getting “drunk” on the vodka-based beverage, he threatened to “sue” her over the claim.
It all kicked off when Liz Earle came on the show to introduce the married couple to kombucha, a fermented drink that is good for gut health.
Eamonn and Ruth tried a range of kombucha-based drinks, before turning to a boozy version of the health remedy.
Ruth explained: “There’s not alcohol in it, but apparently you can put alcohol into it.”
The duo sipped on their martini glasses as they watched Kelly Brook introduce a travel segment, only for Ruth to claim her hubby was feeling a little drunk.

She exclaimed: “You look drunk, how much of that have you had!”
He quipped back: “Will you now tell people I’m not tiddly. They’re all getting in touch saying ‘now you’re drunk’.”
However, things turned sour when Eamonn pouted and added: “You’re just maligning me. I could sue you.”

When Ruth added that Eamonn didn’t look too relaxed, he replied: “I’m not, because people think I’m an alcoholic, don’t they? They do.
“11 o’clock in the morning and ‘he’s sloshed’.”
Ruth replied: “Maybe it’s just a little early and it was quite strong the vodka in there.”

She then changed the subject, introducing the next segment and welcoming Josie Gibson to the show, ahead of her shark-diving experience in Brighton.
Earlier in the episode, Ruth waited with bated breath as Eamonn tried his first sip of kombucha, fearing he would hate the healthy drink.
Luckily, the Northern Irish star was pleasantly surprised by the kombucha, as he declared: “That’s alright!
“I was expecting that to taste like horse urine. That just tastes like cider.”
Ruth replied: “That’s all full of fermenting goodness that is good for your gut health.”
