The duo had just completed a segment on a cow who nearly killed a man when the Irish broadcaster, 56, embarked on a bizarre monologue.
"Some people are like cows," he declared. "Some people have bovine features.
"Big cow eyes and big cow ears and a big cow tongue. I like a bovine [woman]."
Turning to Ruth, he added: "You're an equine figure."

Ruth luckily didn't take offence
"Like a horse with my big teeth?" she asked.
He went on: "Yes, and temperament."
Ruth clearly didn't take any offence, however - and instead made a horse noise.
Eamonn, who recently revealed his upcoming departure from Sky News, also revealed a scary cow-related story from his childhood.

Eamonn also had a scary story on cows
"When I was a youngster - never get in the way of cows when they're just going to be milked - it was a stampede, a scene from Red River," he recalled.
"They made a bee-line to the milking parlour and I got caught in the way as they poured down the lane. I've never run so fast in my life."
This Morning airs weekdays at 10:30am on ITV.
