Many fans will be delighted with the news, with lots of viewers gutted when Eamonn and Ruth were replaced on Fridays by Alison Hammond and Dermot O'Leary.
Introducing the tribute to Ruth Denise Welch said: "I think we would all feel very guilty if we didn't remind the viewers that Ruth, of course, is leaving us for the summer to go next door to join her darling husband and do her summer of This Morning.
"So we thought we would give you a little surprise and show you your Ruth's best bits."
A video package then played of Ruth having fun with her fellow panellists on the show as well as showing off her best stern face.
Ruth said: "I'm not leaving , because normally when you do a best bits everyone goes, 'Thank you, it's been lovely working with you.'
"I'm going next door, Eamonn and I will be on This Morning for about six weeks then I will be back.
"But I'll be talking to you all every day because we do the handovers!"
Ruth - who had starred This Morning for 14 years alongside Eamonn - told OK! Magazine : "We’ll be doing seven weeks from July. I’m looking forward to it."
The TV veterans were said to be "blindsided" at being replaced as well as "furious and upset" about the axe when it was revealed by The Mirror.
