Ruth Langsford has revealed her fears that she invaded a man’s privacy when she captured him changing in the middle of a traffic jam on her phone.
On Monday’s instalment of This Morning, Ruth and her husband Eamonn Holmes revealed that they were stuck in a two-hour traffic jam on the M25 during the recent heatwave this past weekend.
The pair detailed how men were leaving their cars to urinate in the bushes on the hard shoulder, but Ruth lamented what women needing the toilet would need to do, but Eamonn suggested a “she-wee” when desperate.
“If you gotta go, you gotta go,” said Eamonn, to Ruth’s agreement.
However, Ruth was left worrying if she had committed a social media faux pas when a surprising incident occurred on the M25.
“Ruth saw the most interesting thing on the motorway,” detailed Eamonn. “There she was sitting there and I was trying to sleep and ‘Look, look what I see from my seat, look what I see’, nudging me.
“I’m like, ‘I don’t care'”, Eamonn said he responded before Ruth showed him on her camera.
Eamonn revealed: “A man got out in the lane on the M25, took his trousers off…”
Ruth interrupted: “Well, no…”
But Eamonn confirmed that the man had changed and put a kilt on.
“He took his trousers off and put a kilt on, I don’t know what other way you’d want to describe that,” said Eamonn.
“What I mean is he didn’t take his trousers and stand in his pants, he put his kilt on then took off his trousers,” confirmed Ruth.
She went on: “Since then, it’s on my Instagram, I posted it thinking ‘The things you see in a traffic jam’ and I was like ‘Oh, this is hilarious’ and I was thinking, oh bless him, he’s probably late for a wedding or something and he’s thinking ‘I’ll change now’”.
Ruth detailed how he got out of his car and put the kilt on in his rush.
However, Ruth added: “Afterwards, I put it on Instagram and I thought ‘Is that an invasion of that man’s privacy for me to do that?’
“I’ve no idea who he is”.
Eamonn pointed out that she didn’t show the man’s face, but Ruth noted: “I think if you knew him, you’d recognise him.”
She then said to viewers: “If you do know him, please say he passed some time away of me watching him do this trick, this magic trick where he suddenly transformed himself into full kilt with sporran.
“I hope he got to whatever event he was going to.”
