Eamonn Holmes snubs wife Ruth Langsford as he gushes over ‘most lovely woman in his life’

A third fan commented: “You could tell he was going to be sarcastic he couldn’t keep a straight face even saying it!!”

A fourth person responded: “I actually thought it was going to be a picture of Ruth.”

Maggie is a regular feature on Eamonn and Ruth’s social media updates, after they re-homed the black crossbreed from Dogs Trust in 2011.

The couple, who wed back in 2010, have spoken openly in the past about the joy Maggie has brought them.

Eamonn previously admitted: “I couldn’t imagine our home without her.”
