‘He’s blatantly drunk’ Viewers in stitches after Eamonn Holmes has a tipple too many
PEOPLE tuning in to watch today’s edition of This Morning were left in hysterics as presenter Eamonn Holmes appeared to have had one drink too many during a cocktail-making segment.
Eamonn Holmes and Ruth Langsford try some cocktails
As part of the Queen’s 90th birthday celebrations, a mixologist came into the studio to whip up some drinks thought to be the Royal Family’s favourite tipple.
Eamonn, 56, and co-host Ruth Langsford were trying an array of cocktails, which proved to be on the strong side - including a wet Martini.
Ruth, 56, remarked the potency of the cocktails as she gave one glass a sniff: “That’s quite strong.”
Ruth eventually took away Eamonn's drink
“If Ruth says it’s strong then it must be,” Eamonn said as he then went on to take a sip from a gin-based mix, saying that he didn’t really drink.
“It tastes like an alcopop,” he commented about another drink, to which she told him: “You’re going to get drunk. You’re going to drink that like squash.”
While Ruth seemed to be fine with her drink, she took a glass away from her husband to stop him from having much more.
