TV host Ruth  Langsford said she fears husband Eamonn Holmes will never be “100 per cent right” after his ill health.

Ruth, also 64, who used to co-present This Morning with her husband, told Woman’s Weekly: “I look at Eamonn, who’s had his health and back problems, and it makes you realise how important your health is.

“I don’t know how much Eamonn’s mobility will improve.

She continued: "We live in hope

“He does the physio, but there might have to be some acceptance that this might never be 100 per cent right.”

She went on: “With any care situation - and there are millions of carers in this country - it isn't always easy but if something happens to somebody you love, you help them as much as you can.

"It's testing but we manage as a family."

Ruth and Eamonn married in 2010 and together they share a son, Jack, 22.

They have been presenting This Morning together for 15 years.
