Eamonn Holmes and Ruth Langsford have celebrated their 12th wedding anniversary. On Sunday, June 26, Ruth marked the occasion with a sweet photo of the pair she shared with her Instagram followers.

On their wedding day, Eamonn said he was almost left in tears by how beautiful Ruth looked. He said: "I had to bite my lip to stop myself from crying. I couldn't look Ruth in the eye, because I knew I wouldn't be able to control the tears."

Ruth was equally emotional on the day, especially after seeing her groom well up. She said: "As I walked in, I saw all these faces turned towards me, smiling, and then I looked over at Eamonn and I could see in his eyes that he was close to tears.

"That made me emotional and I actually let out a little involuntary sob. I was thrilled when everyone clapped, because it lightened the mood. I kissed Eamonn, but he couldn't speak, he was so moved."

Before their relationship, Eamonn was previously married to first wife Gabrielle Holmes, who is the mother of his three children. The 62-year-old split from Gabrielle in 1996 having first met her in 1976.
