Strictly Come Dancing 2017: Ruth Langsford BLASTS Eamonn Holmes' hopes of dancing on show
RUTH LANGSFORD has crashed her husband Eamonn Holmes’ hopes and dreams of dancing on Strictly Come Dancing.
Ruth discusses her Strictly aches and pains with Eamonn
In a candid video posted on Twitter, the 57-year-old This Morning host discussed how she is coping with the rigorous training with partner Anton Du Beke.
Ruth admitted it has been “exhilarating” and like “nothing I have done before”.
But the conversation soon turned personal as Eamonn, 57, asked his spouse her opinion on whether he should take part in the BBC One competition.
Ruth replied: “What dance? Like This!? No.”
Eamonn seemed a little taken aback by Ruth’s comment as he asked: “Why?”
“It’s too energetic,” the Strictly Come Dancing hopeful quipped.
Surprised by his wife, the former Sky News presenter laughed and said: “That’s very insulting.”
However, Ruth did remain positive as she added: “Well you have got two new hips so maybe next year if you keep up all your physio. There are some bits you could and some bits you couldn’t do I think.”
“I don’t want to do it. Now you’re up there, you’re too good for me. You won’t be dancing with me at weddings now,” said a defeated Eamonn.
TV favourite Ruth and her partner Anton, 51, will be taking on the Waltz in this weekend’s first live show and will be performing to to Seth MacFarlane's version of This Nearly Was Mine.
Strictly Come Dancing returns Saturday at 6.25pm on BBC One.
