This Morning presenter Eamonn Holmes paid a special tribute to his wife and co-star Ruth Langsford to mark her 60th birthday live on air today.
Ruth turned 60 on March 17 and Eamonn couldn’t wait to surprise her on live TV as he told her while sitting side-by-side on the sofa that he had a surprise for her.
Looking slightly concerned, Ruth asked what it was to which Eamonn said he had a naked snap of her to share.
Laughing she encouraged him to reveal it, as the screen changed to a picture of Ruth as a baby wearing no clothes.

Eamonn said: “This was a naked baby Ruth 60 years ago.”
Ruth replied: “Oh wow I was chubby.”
To which Eamonn replied: “What’s changed there?”
Choosing to ignore him, Ruth told the camera: “Did you notice how I just ignored him?”
Ruth has returned to hosting the show today after she was forced to pull out of hosting last Friday’s episode after falling ill, with fans worrying that she had contracted the coronavirus.

Instead, her husband Eamonn presented the show with The Saturdays babe Rochelle Humes.
Eamonn, also 60, confirmed the news on social media before the episode last week, sharing a photo of himself with Rochelle.
He wrote: “In for Ruth. The bad news is Ruth is a bit under the weather today. The good news is Rochelle and I will pair up again.

“A delightful friend and colleague and always a joy to be around.”
This week has seen some major disruption to ITV shows because of the growing spread of coronavirus and government guidelines.
Lunchtime show Loose Women is now being filmed without a live studio audience, after guidelines were shared about social distancing and avoiding mass gatherings.
