Eamonn Holmes has told of his trouble getting to sleep at night.
The Belfast man said sleep is “something that eludes me day in, day out” - but has blamed his wife Ruth Langsford.
Speaking to Best magazine, Eamonn said: “Lack of sleep is just something I’ve come to accept as part of my job as a breakfast television anchor.

"You’d think, after presenting morning TV for as long as I have, I’d have been able to master an appropriate sleeping routine. Unfortunately, this isn’t the case."
He added: “One in three men say they are regularly kept awake by their partner’s snoring. So it seems I am not alone.
“Ruth loves to sleep. Not only does she love sleep, she has an incredible gift of going out like a light once her head hits the pillow. Sometimes I check to see if she’s still breathing.
“The reason I can do this is the noise from her throat and nostrils prevents me getting a great deal of shut-eye of my own.”
The presenter also explained how he has no idea if he is just as guilty with snoring, “as nothing stands a chance of waking her”.
Eamonn added: “Through the din, I can’t help but look at and just admire my sleeping beauty.”
