Eamonn Holmes says Ruth Langford's bed-making skills helped him fall in love

Eamonn Holmes has revealed Ruth Langsford's bed-making skills helped him fall in love.

The Belfast-born TV presenter also said Ruth knowing her way around a marigold glove also helped, reports the Mirror.

He said Ruth stood out as he ‘always remembers people’ who know how to make a bed.

Eamonn, 61, recalled the moment he did an interview where he discussed everything he loved about Ruth, resulting in comments being made about her bed-making abilities...

“I said when I met her and I realised she kept an amazing home and she walked around in marigold gloves, the place smelt of Dettol and it was really, everything was gorgeous,” he told Vicky Pattison on her podcast The Secret To.

"She could make a bed, I always remember people who can make a bed. I find it difficult to make a bed. She says I deliberately find it difficult to make a bed so therefore I don’t have to do it.

“But I admire, it’s amazing what she can do with those bedsheets she’s like a nurse, they’re starched and everything’s incredible.”

Ruth seemed to be less than impressed by Eamonn's comments.

“It was published and she said 'I’ve seen that interview you did' and I said yes, I’m thinking she’s going to say 'it was so lovely, wasn’t it nice, you didn’t have to do that' and she hit me with the magazine," the Northern Irish native added.
