What did Eamonn Holmes say about Ruth Langsford?

When asked if he worries about Ruth being his carer, Eamonn told The Times: “Yes, I do fear it. She hasn’t got the most caring nature, I have to say. So I’d better have enough money in the bank for a care nurse as I get older.”

“‘I’m not going to be doing this again. I’m not your carer.'”

This isn’t the first time GB News host Eamonn has opened up about his health woes.

He admitted his back problems have caused “strain” within his family.

Eamonn told The Sun: “Even my own family are bored of my moaning. It has caused some strain and Ruth is fed up of hearing about it and of me saying I can’t walk the dog or tidy up, but I can’t help it.

“It’s agony.”
