The pair will be fronting the programme for the next seven weeks as Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield take some time off.
At the start of the show, Eamonn and Ruth danced to celebrate the start of the summer shows.

However, others weren’t pleased to see Eamonn and Ruth on the programme.
One tweeted: “I will be switching off then for the summer period… two awful presenters.”
Yay for Ruth & Eamonn!! Here comes summer.
Another wrote: “Name a bigger disappointment than putting #ThisMorning on and finding Ruth and Eamonn presenting.”
One said: “Everyone’s bored of Eamonn and Ruth. They should not be getting the main gig.”

Everyone’s bored of Eamonn and Ruth. They should not be getting the main gig. This is a stale choice, that shows a massive lack of imagination and diversity, something you claim to be all about

On Sunday night, Eamonn shared a hilarious photo of a naked couple and joked with fans that it was him and Ruth.
Alongside the cheeky image, Eamonn wrote: “Ruth and I are so happy to be taking the plunge on This Morning for the next 7 weeks that we wanted to end our week holiday refreshed and with something to remember!
“See you in the morning folks – I hope.”
What did Eamonn’s followers say?
One wrote: “Literally so happy about this!! Working from home, so you will be keeping me going.”
