Ruth Langsford has admitted she fails to hide her 'jealousy' over the attention her husband Eamonn Holmes gets from other women, revealing her very direct 'tactic' to deal with it.
Former This Morning host Ruth was back at the helm of Loose Women, as the ITV lunchtime discussion show broadcast its first episode of the week on Monday, joining panellists Frankie Bridge, Linda Robson and Janet Street-Porter in the studio.
One of the talking points in the early part of the show was Ekin-Su's most talked about debut on Sunday's Dancing on Ice, which sparked some complaints from viewers, as Love Island boyfriend Davide sat in the audience.
Given the rather racy nature of Ekin-Su's routine to Britney Spears' Toxic, alongside pro partner Brendyn Hatfield, Ruth quizzed the panel on if they would get jealous seeing their partner get close to someone else and get attention over their appearance.

And, after joking that she was sure Italian model Davide 'wouldn't get jealous,' Ruth admitted that she has been forced to stop her green eyed monster from coming out, with regards to the attention other half Eamonn gets.
Making a candid confession, Ruth told her Loose Women co-stars: "Easy not to be jealous Davide; I, on the other hand, would not be able to hide my jealousy," adding: "You know me Janet. I'm like the colour of her jumper," as Janet sat next to her wearing a bright green top.
Frankie asked her: "Even if Eamonn did Dancing on Ice?" to which Ruth replied: "Can you imagine?" to which Linda told her: "Can I just say, Eamonn is like a woman magnet. When I went to his 60th birthday, he was just surrounded by women the whole time."
Ruth went on: "He likes women's company. If it's mates, he's got a lot of really god female friends and that's not a problem to me; but if I was somewhere and I thought 'she's been coming onto my husband, she's been talking to him for a bit too long,' I go over and say: 'Hi, I don't think we've met; I'm Eamonn's wife!"
Ruth's admission about Eamonn came after she addressed viewers' concerns about her famous husband, when she returned to host the show after a lengthy break at the start of this month.
Eamonn himself hinted on Twitter that he'd been struggling over Christmas and Ruth opened on the alarming extent of his woe, when she revealed that he'd fallen down the stairs at home, days after an operation on his back.
And in the middle of all of that, Eamonn was left devastated by the death of his mum.
