Eamonn said: “I reckon that not too long from now, Ruth and I will be at home presenting This Morning.

“Everybody’s programme will be done from home. I think you’re ahead of the curve.”

Joel suggested: “Yeah and then you can be called ‘Eamonn’s Homes.'”

Ruth added: “At Home with the Holmes’. Everyone’s been asking about it.”

Eamonn then cut in: “No, he didn’t say you he said ‘Eamonn’ so it’s At Home With Holmes.

“Now you’re trying to hijack my name. Funny you didn’t take it at your wedding.”

Laughing, Ruth said: “Well, you can’t be at home without me.”

Her husband joked: “Suddenly, Langsford doesn’t really tie in there. You made the choice. Too late now.”

Funny you didn’t take it at your wedding.

Eamonn and Ruth are hosting the show this week while Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield take time off for Easter.

Earlier this week, the couple were left bickering over Eamonn’s eating habits during the lockdown.

“What Ruth wants me to do is to clean the kitchen up.”

Ruth cut in: “No, just put away, not clean the whole kitchen. Put the butter back in the fridge and the ham and then go and eat your sandwich.”

Vanessa Feltz said: “Eamonn, you want to eat your sandwich but you can’t always do exactly what you want to do when you want to do it.

“Don’t act like a tantrum baby. You’re a grown-up.”

Eamonn joked: “You’re miserable, Ruth’s miserable. Too many miserable people ruining lives during lockdown.”
