'Loose Women' Host Ruth Langsford Given Romantic Surprise From Husband, Eamonn Holmes

Ruth Langsford will think twice before suggesting her husband, Eamonn Holmes, isn’t an old-school romantic, after he dropped in to surprise her during Monday’s ‘Loose Women’.
During a discussion with her fellow panellists, Ruth admitted she found “petals on the bed” romance a bit too much for her - only for Eamonn to suddenly come out from the wings, with a bouquet of flowers.
After giving his wife a cheeky kiss, to the sound of chanting from the ‘Loose Women’ audience, Eamonn said: “The only person more romantic than me that I know is [Jane Moore’s] husband, Gary.”

He added: “When I went to kiss you, that’s so you, you’re thinking ‘oh my lip-gloss’ - that’s exactly what you’re thinking. And that sums Ruth up, ‘oh this is all very nice, but not just now’.”
When Coleen Nolan joked that Eamonn could “smudge her lip gloss right round her face” and she wouldn’t mind, he then planted a smacker right on her lips too, to which he joked: “That brings me back.”

Eamonn didn’t have far to go to surprise Ruth, as he’d been called on to co-present Monday’s ‘This Morning’ with Holly Willoughby.
The episode also featured a guest appearance from ‘Embarrassing Bodies’ medic Dr Christian Jessen, who stepped in to perform an HIV test on the panel, to show viewers how easy it is to get tested.
12 Stars You'd Forgotten Were 'Loose Women'

Long before she was answering to Lord Sugar, 'The Apprentice' star Karren was letting loose on the ITV daytime show. She was one of the original line-up of ladies, appearing on the first episode in 1999. However, her stint was short lived, as she left just a year later. (credit:REX)
Kerry Katona(02 of12)

Back when she was Kerry McFadden (those were the days, eh?), the Atomic Kitten singer appeared as a panelist between 2003 and 2004. She was only 23 when she joined the show, making her the youngest 'Loose Woman' regular ever, and her sometimes naive outlook on life meant she often clashed with Sherrie Hewson, providing many hilarious moments.

She's best known for playing the opinionated Zainab Masood in 'EastEnders', but Nina offered up plenty of opinions of her own when she appeared as a series regular between 2005 and 2006. She later returned as a guest panelist for one episode in 2015. (credit:REX)

Another 'EastEnder' who graced the 'Loose Women' panel was Gillian - better known as Walford's Kathy Beale. The actress enjoyed two stints as a Loose lady - one in 2006 and another in 2008. (credit:REX)

In our humble opinion, Sarah's tenure as a 'Loose Woman' was simply not long enough. The comic only appeared as a panelist for less than a year in 2011, before leaving to concentrate on her stand-up career. (credit:REX)

While Kym has recently enjoyed a few turns as a guest panelist, many have forgotten her original stint as a regular on the show in 2005, back when she sported an interesting (if that's the right word?) set of hair extensions. (credit:REX)

The former 'Brookside' actress enjoyed over two years on the panel back in 2003, and later returned for six episodes in 2010, and a further two in 2012. (credit:REX)

While the late Cilla will be remembered for her huge TV hits 'Blind Date' and 'Surprise Surprise', her last regular TV gig was actually as a 'Loose Woman'.

Sheree was a welcome addition to the panel in 2006, after she finished playing Emmerdale's much-loved Tricia Dingle. While she left in 2007, she later returned as a guest panelist for an episode in 2015. (credit:REX)

After the departure of many of Loose Women's biggest names in 2013 and 2014, Steps singer Claire made a string of guest appearances. She impressed bosses so much, she was soon promoted to a regular. However, a massive revamp of the show in the September of 2014 saw her leave the show with no explanation. (credit:REX)
