Meanwhile, Deidre suggested: “Maybe your partner just struggles with the autism and he needs more support so he understands how he can better cope with that.”

Eamonn then added his viewpoint.

He said: “Well explained Deidre. Tough situation Lucy and we hope it improves for you. Thanks for sharing with us today.

“Ruth summed that one up, she wrote two words here…”

What did Ruth Langsford say on This Morning today?

Ruth quickly interjected, firing her husband a warning to keep his mouth shut: “Don’t say what I wrote!”

However, Eamonn ignored her pleas as he cheekily told viewers: “The first one was lazy and I can”t tell you the second one.”

A bewildered Ruth snapped at her husband to reprimand him: “Eamonn!”

He then tried to justify his actions quipping: “I’m just saying, that makes you angry.”

Ruth then explained what she had written down in more detail as she hurried to get her side across.

She said: “That was a private message. It makes me boil. How can you sit there and let that woman especially with a child with needs and as Deirdre said, challenging behaviours, and think you can sit on your phone.”
