Ruth Langsford 'embarrassed' by husband Eamonn Holmes' 'lovey dovey' nature

Ruth Langsford has revealed that she's not into romance - unlike her husband Eamonn Holmes.

The Loose Women star, 61, lifted the lid on her 'love language' during the Valentine's Day special of the ITV show, admitting that she likes to do acts of service to show she loves someone.

Unlike Eamonn, who loves nothing more than being 'lovey dovey', Ruth gets 'embarrassed' when it comes to romancing.

Discussing her love language with her fellow Loose Women panellists, Ruth said that Eamonn enjoys showing his affection by saying 'I love you', with words of affirmation as his love language.

Meanwhile, Ruth likes to show her love by giving gifts and doing nice things for her nearest and dearest.

"I would say that Eamonn's love language is words of affirmation. He's really good at expressing love and saying it all the time, whereas I get very embarrassed," Ruth shared.

"I am the acts of service. I cook and I do stuff - that's how I show I love someone."

Ruth's Valentine's Day confession comes after veteran broadcaster Eamonn admitted he's worried his wife Ruth will become his carer after suffering from 'chronic pain' last year.

The GB News host, 62, was diagnosed with a dislocated pelvis and three slipped discs, which left him dependent on crutches.

With a slew of treatments, including steroid injections and physiotherapy, the former This Morning host is now back on his feet - but he's concerned about the future.

He said: "I've had a hellish ten months with these dislocated discs on my sciatic nerves.

"So I'm certainly not walking a lot this year, but I think just as you get older your appetite gets less."

The father of three admitted that he did have to ask his wife Ruth, 61, for help, before joking that she didn't have "the most caring nature".

Speaking to The Times Eamonn said he would occasionally ask the Loose Women host to put on his socks and help him with other things.

However according to the Northern Irish man, Ruth said: 'I'll do it this once but don't rely on this. I'm not going to be doing this again. I'm not your carer.'"

Eamonn quipped that he better have 'enough money in the bank for a care nurse when he's older'.
