This Morning star Ruth Langsford was left in stitches today (August 20), as she got into a ‘domestic’ with husband Eamonn Holmes.

The married duo are taking over hosting duties on the ITV programme during summer.

Appearing on Friday’s show, Ruth couldn’t contain her laughter whilst Eamonn mocked her behaviour.

The moment occurred during This Morning‘s dial in segment.

Following a phone call with a viewer, Eamonn said: “The thing about my wife, lovely in every way, except never shuts up.

“You’re like your mother! If you just pause for breath – just pause.”

You’re like your mother!

Ruth fired back: “I want to get into the calls, so Nicola…”

Rolling his eyes, Eamonn interrupted: “It’s like a Duracell bunny, it just goes and doesn’t stop.

“When you sit and have lunch with her mother, it’s exactly the same.”

ITV viewers were also left in hysterics over the couple’s exchange.
