This Morning presenter Eamonn Holmes, 60, who also hosts his own show on Talk Radio, admitted he prefers to present any of his projects solo. His admission comes after he was asked if he and his wife Ruth Langsford, 59, would leave the show together if one of them decided to step down.
He said: “I think you’d rather do any presentation on your own, I can’t think of any presentation that I wouldn’t want to do on my own.
“It’s like, Why would you want to drive a car with two people on the steering wheel? I’d want to do any presentation on my own.”
The broadcaster went on to clarify that despite his preference, he doesn’t have any difficulty with presenting alongside his fellow The Morning co-stars including Ruth, Rochelle Homes and Holly Willoughby.
He added: “If you’re being truthful, a double presentation is a natural thing but, you can do anything on your own.”

“If they don’t want you they don’t want you, I have no idea. You’ll have to read the mind of executives for that sort of thing.
“I don’t have an opinion, I don’t feel like my career and Ruth’s career is necessarily linked with being with each other no.”
Eamonn has been fronting the ITV morning show since 2006.
Last year, the ITV regular hit the headlines after he used the term “uppity” when discussing Meghan Markle’s appearance at Wimbledon.
At the event, Prince Harry’s reportedly banned from taking pictures of her.
Following this, reports claimed he was told off by ITV producers after a viewer complained about his use of the word, which was used in the 19th Century as an insult to black people who considered to be acting above their “rightful place”.
An ITV representative told Express.co.uk: “Conversations took place with Eamonn and the wider production team involving an explanation of a possible interpretation of the word, which had come to light on the basis of a complaint made to the channel after the broadcast.
“Therefore this was a point of learning for the wider team, not in any way a rebuke.
“It is incorrect to state that there is an ITV ban on the word uppity.
“There is no such ban on the word “uppity” per se, rather care will be taken regarding the context of its use.”
This Morning continues today at 10am on ITV.
