Ruth Langsford relaxes in bed with dog as she watches hubby Eamonn Holmes on TV

Ruth Langsford was a proud wife as she settled in bed to watch her hubby Eamonn Holmes present at his new job.

The former This Morning presenter quit the morning show and ITV - who he has worked for since joining GMTV in 1993 - in favour of joining rival GB News.

His move came after Eamonn and his wife's role on the show was reduced after their usual presenting slot on Fridays was replaced and covered by Alison Hammond and Dermot O'Leary.

He used to present with his wife Ruth but at least now she gets to watch him on TV from bed.

The 61-year-old took to her Instagram Stories to share a snap of herself lying down in bed with her dog Maggie sleeping at the end of the mattress.

Her red-painted toes can be seen peeking onto the screen as her husband did his thing on television.

"@gbnewsonline Lie in with Maggie watching @eamonnholmes on the telly!" she captioned the post and added a teacup gif.

Eamonn made his debut on GB News at the beginning of January.

The presenter vowed to start doing things differently at the news channel as he sat alongside Isabel Webster.

He said: "I’m having some lovely messages from people all around the country who are looking forward to whatever we’re going to do differently. Hopefully we are going to do lots of things differently.

“We’re going to do news, but we’re going to do news with views. We’re going to do your news, because if it is important to you, it is important to us.”

Although he is happy to join the channel, he admitted that the early starts will be difficult.

The presenter has been 'dreading insomnia' and hates the early morning wake-up call.

His show airs at 6 am, meaning he needs to be in the studio at least an hour and a half before.

Writing for his column in the Express: "‘The early starts do take their toll, but knowing that you’re meeting up with one of your best friends, the work becomes much more fun and time tends to fly.

"The evenings can be a bit more difficult. My big dread about what’s ahead is insomnia and what feels like a 'sleep hangover' the next day."

Meanwhile, wife Ruth will remain at ITV. She told Best magazine: "I'm still at ITV, with This Morning and Loose Women."
