Ruth Langsford and Eamonn Holmes often like to talk about their *ahem* intimate moments in interviews, but we don’t expect ‘This Morning’ viewers were expecting the pair to get quite so fruity on Friday’s (13 January) show.
The pair were interviewing a woman who claimed she was happy to be living in a sexless marriage, when they made an admission about their own sex lives.

Eamonn Holmes made an admission about his and Ruth Langsford's sex lives on 'This Morning'

Eamonn couldn’t hide his surprise when the interviewee said she hadn’t had sex in two years, to which he said her husband “must be a very understanding man”.
As he countered an argument that men often turn down sex due to tiredness, he said: “Men do no understand the word ‘too tired’. It’s not in our vocabulary. No man is ever too tired to have sex.”
Ruth agreed, adding: “I’ve near said to you, ‘Come on’, and you’ve gone, ‘No, sorry love, too tired.”

'It’s Friday fun night, darling, don’t forget.'

But that wasn’t it, as the married couple hinted they would be getting “jiggy wiggy” after getting home tonight.
“I have to say it’s very important to me,” Eamonn said.
“It’s Friday fun night, darling, don’t forget,” Ruth promised.
But Eamonn hinted things may have been a little sparse in that department in recent times.
“There’s only one Friday in the month these days!” he bemoaned.
If ever there was a more random TV pairing, we'd like to hear about it. (credit:Rex/Shutterstock/ITV/Ken McKay)

Following tradition of married couples hosting the show, our Kerreh fronted an edition with then-husband Brian in 2001 - six years before *that* infamous interview with Phil and Fern. (credit:Rex)

Patrick teamed up with 'Big Brother' host Emma Willis over the summer of 2012. While the pairing was perfectly pleasant, we're still wondering what made producers throw them together. (credit:Rex)
Twiggy and Coleen Nolan(06 of13)

This part of This Morning's 28-year history is often glossed over, but you might just remember Twiggy and Coleen were picked as Richard and Judy's full-time replacements in 2001. They only lasted a few months in the job before being axed. (credit:Rex)
Jamie Theakston and Emma Bunton(07 of13)

The former 'Live And Kicking' presenter hadn't been seen on screens for a while when he hosted some shows with Emma Bunton over the summer of 2013. But the pairing proved successful, as the Spice Girl was later hired to co-host his Heart radio breakfast show. (credit:Rex)

We've not heard or seen anything from former 'Blue Peter' presenter Tim in yeaaars, but he did guest host the show with Kate Garraway in 2005.
Denise Van Outen and Richard Bacon(09 of13)

Another random pairing, but both Denise and Richard had experience in hosting morning telly, having previously fronted Channel 4's 'The Big Breakfast', albeit it with separate co-hosts. Here they are on 'This Morning' in 2005. (credit:Rex)
Jeremy Kyle and Kate Thornton(10 of13)

Given his direct, and often rude, approach on his own show, Jeremy seemed a bit of an odd choice to present the warm and friendly 'This Morning' alongside former X Factor host Kate Thornton in 2010. (credit:Rex)

Another 'who the hell stuck these two together?' pairing came in the form of former ITV newsreader Andrea and 'Take Me Out' host Paddy McGuinness, who presented 'This Morning' together for a couple of episodes in 2011. (credit:Rex)
