Appearing on the show on Wednesday, Eamonn explained: “Yesterday, I was speaking to my wife Ruth who had just finished on Loose Women and she said, I'm just heading home now'.
“Her normal route home would be within three minutes to this bridge and across there and when the news broke later - because it took 10, 15 minutes for the news to come out - I thought 'Where's Ruth?'
“I couldn't get in touch with her.
“It turned out amazingly she went in a different direction, it was just some freaky chance she went in a “different direction.”
