To be honest, they've both changed a fair bit, and Ruth seemed to prefer Eamonn with his lustrous dark hair and proper Northern Irish accent.

"You're gorgeous, I love it," she said.

As for Ruth, she was sporting a dated blonde perm, with a clipped, cut-glass 'Queen's English' accent.

Ruth was in hysterics over her own throwback, stunned that the producers managed to find it.

She proceeded to read the rest of her auto cue in the same voice in homage to her younger days.

Loose Women airs weekdays at 12:30pm on ITV.
