This Morning presenter Ruth Langsford confessed her hubby’s Northern Irish twang got her heart racing on today’s show, as they chatted about accents.
Eamonn Holmes admitted he was equally enamoured by his wife’s “posh” accent, as the lovebirds shared a cheeky glance at one another on the show.
It all kicked off when Ruth explained the Scottish accent had been voted as the “sexiest” male accent in a recent survey.
Turning to guests Vanessa Feltz and Andrew Neil, she listened to Neil’s Scottish intonations and said: “I’m very mesmerised by your accent.”

Andrew smirked back: “How could there be any surprise in that?”
When Eamonn realised Vanessa was joining the show from East Cork in Ireland, he wondered whether she found the Irish accent alluring.
Vanessa gushed: “I find it absolutely ravishing, I find it irresistible. Obviously Andrew Neil is enough to send any woman’s heart aflutter.

“But, Eamonn I’ve always nurtured a particular affection for the northern Irish accent, it’s very sexy.”
“I’m sure Ruth will agree with me.”
Smirking at Eamonn, Ruth got a glint in her eye and replied: “I agree with you…”

Eamonn admitted he similarly fell for Ruth’s accent, which he branded as “posh” after years of elocution lessons.
“Men quite like posh accents, I thought Ruth was quite posh when she spoke. But then I realised it is all an act, she’s as common as muck really.”
Ruth explained: “I was a continuity announcer you see so I had to speak well when I started.”
Joking that her genuine accent was far less posh behind closed doors, he swiped: “You fooled me!”
This Morning airs on weekdays at 10am on ITV.
