He told : "Humour has also kept me married. If I can make Ruth laugh then I’m out of jail. I get to work with the person I love."

“I’m an outrageous flirt but we’re safe as houses. We could not be happier, or more secure, in our marriage.”

Together the couple have 14-year-old son Jack as well as Eamonn's three other children from a previous marriage.

During their time on This Morning, they have become known for their witty banter which often involves petty squabbles between the pair.

He added:"Neither of us wears the trousers - in fact I like it when Ruth doesn't wear any trousers at all."

"But whatever happens, Ruth and I will be growing old together. I tell her, ‘Ruth, no one will ever love you as much as I do’."

Ruth feels the same way, but previously said: "If I found out he had cheated that would be the end of our marriage. That would be goodbye."
