When is Eamonn and Ruth’s 7 Year Itch on Channel 5 with couple Eamonn Holmes and Ruth Langsford and what is it about?
CHANNEL 5 is set to air Eamonn & Ruth's 7 Year Itch, which will delve into how married couples keep the spark alive.
This Morning fans will recognise its stars, real-life couple Eamonn Holmes and Ruth Langsford, with the new documentary series inspired by their famously successful marriage — but what will it involve, when it is kicking off and can you take part in it?
When does The 7 Year Itch start?
Eamonn and Ruth's 7 Year Itch airs tonight (that's Thursday September 28) on Channel 5 at 9pm.
It goes head to head with Ambulance on BBC1, Safe House on ITV and Bromans on ITV2.
The first part followed Ruth and Eamonn to an alternative sex therapy session. In part two they meet a husband who told his wife he wanted to be a woman and a pair of swingers.
Who are hosts Ruth Langsford and Eamonn Holmes?
Belfast native Eamonn, 57, and his Cornish wife Ruth, 57, have been daytime TV stalwarts for decades, as we know from some recent throwback snaps Eamonn posted.
After beginning a romance with then-married GMTV star Eamonn in 1997, Ruth first appeared on Loose Women in 1999, and began guest hosting This Morning in 2000.
In 2002 she and Eamonn had a son called Jack, and after becoming permanent This Morning co-hosts in 2006, the duo married in 2010 and settled down in Surrey.
Viewers may not know that Eamonn has three other children, Declan, Rebecca and Niall, with his ex-wife Gabrielle, 56, who claims he cheated on her with Ruth in 1997.
Nowadays Eamonn and Ruth host This Morning together every Friday, during school days and whenever Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield are absent.
What is The 7 Year Itch about?
As Ruth and Eamonn are celebrating their seven-year wedding anniversary, this show will explore the finer details of how they keep their romance going.
But it will also involve stories from members of the public who are either struggling with their marriages or who think they know the secret to matrimonial bliss.
Seeing as Ruth has been very open about her sex life with Eamonn on telly in the past, claiming he's "great" in bed and hinting they have sex weekly, the show is set to be quite eye-opening.
Previously Ruth has revealed how she keeps their love life healthy, saying: "I never talk about work at home.
"We have date nights, although Eamonn’s much better than me at instigating them. He’s definitely the more romantic one."
Eamonn then joked: "I’m more grateful to be in this relationship than Ruth is!"
