Holly Willoughby and Ruth Langsford found themselves chatting about ‘awkward exchanges’ on live television today.
It’s safe to say things are tense after Ruth’s husband Eamonn called Holly ‘big mouth’ on GB News as he ranted against the 42-year-old presenter and her former co-host Phillip Schofield before her recent TV return.
Holly addressed Schofield’s exit and affair as she returned to the ITV show’s sofa last week alongside Josie Gibson, and she was back again on Monday morning with Dermot O’Leary by her side.
During the typical link with the Loose Women panel breaking down what’s to come from the lunchtime show, she had to speak to Ruth with an interesting topic up for discussion.
Holly asked: ‘What’s happening on the show today, Ruth?’
Referencing some swiss roll made by chef James Martin on the show, Ruth quipped: ‘Can you spare four slices of that cake, Holly?’

She continued: ‘Coming up on Loose Women, should you ever have a say on who your partner is friends with…?
‘And we’re talking awkward exchanges. Have you ever accidentally said, “I love you”, to the wrong person? Also today, we are asking, would you take love advice from a former cheat?’
Their most recent exchange comes after Holly did the usual link to preview what Ruth and the panel had coming up as said smiled: ‘It is time now to find out what Loose Women are talking about today, hi there Ruth.’

She and Josie had just finished an interview with singer Adam Lambert, and Ruth replied: ‘Hiya, we love Adam Lambert too! Mwah, mwah, mwah to him!’
She added: ‘Coming up on Loose Women, we’ll be exposing the big social media exam scam that could be affecting your children or your grandchildren. Also, here’s a question – is it ever okay to take off your wedding ring during a row?
She also introduced guests Anton Du Beke and Leona Lewis, promising ‘great guests, great show – as always’, while Holly responded: ‘We’ll see you then, thank you very much!’
Holly hasn’t acknowledged Eamonn’s comments, but last week she appeared tearful as she returned to This Morning for the first time since her former co-host’s exit.
She said she was ‘shaken, troubled and let down’ by Schofield before hugging her co-host Josie and thanking everyone for their support.
This Morning airs weekdays at 10am on ITV1.
