Speaking about Eamonn’s operation on Monday’s (7 December) edition of ‘Loose Women’, Ruth said: “It’s long overdue, he’s been thinking about them for a very long time. He’s in a lot of pain.

“That’s going to be a big thing for us. We can’t both afford to both be off work for that long.

“I’m not the greatest nurse, I have to say and that's something I'm worried about, and he’s not the greatest patient. One day one, I’ll be ‘yes darling’, but by day three, I’ll be like ‘what?!’.”

Telling co-hosts Coleen Nolan, Katie Price and Jane Moore that he will have both hips done at the same time, Ruth continued: “It will be life changing and he knows it will be.

“When you see him getting in a car and see the pain on his face, you know why he’s getting it done.”

Eamonn previously said the reason he hasn’t had the op until now is because he was worried about being seen as “old” by TV bosses.

He told The Mirror: “I'm a 55-year-old man and I know how ageist this industry can be. I don't want people thinking 'Oh, he's having a double hip replacement - he's past it', and then never being seen on television again. So going public with it is a risk.”

“Then again, if I need 10 weeks off, I don't want there to be viewer speculation that I've been off having cosmetic surgery or something. Presenting live, daily TV, it's not as if people wouldn't notice.”

Controversial columnist Samantha Brick looked momentarily tongue-tied when Holmes looked her dead in the eye and asked her if she believed she was beautiful.

It came after Brick wrote a column in which she described her experiences of sexual harassment.

Recovering her composure, Brick answered: "Do I think I'm attractive? Yes, I do."

When Holmes pressed her, asking her hypothetically how many men out of ten would fancy her at a dinner party, Brick turned coy and refused to answer before quipping: "All of them Eamon!" (credit:ITV)
