THIS MORNING fans are desperate to know whether hosts Eamonn Holmes and Ruth Langsford will be returning to the show.
Here’s everything we know.
When are Eamonn Holmes and Ruth Langsford back on This Morning?
Eamonn and Ruth WILL return to ITV’s famous sofa in July.
The married couple will host This Morning for seven weeks during the school holidays this summer.
Confirming the news to OK!, Ruth said: “We’ll be doing seven weeks from July.
“I’m looking forward to it.”
Why did Eamonn and Ruth leave This Morning?
The beloved pair were axed from their famous Friday slot in November 2020.
They were replaced by telly favourites Alison Hammond and Dermot O’Leary.
ITV confirmed Eamonn and Ruth would remain involved, hosting the show when regular presenters Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby take a break during the school holidays.
Although Alison and Dermot are also loved by fans, many were still disappointed to see their predecessors take a step back.
Ruth and Eamonn had hosted Friday’s episode of This Morning since 2006.
Fans became even more concerned when they didn’t present the show during the recent half-term.
One tweeted at the time: “Where’s Eamonn and Ruth? This wasn’t the deal?
“They said we’d get them for the holidays, not half the holidays!”
What did Eamonn and Ruth say about leaving This Morning?
When the news of their Friday departure was announced, Eamonn and Ruth publicly supported their successors.
They wrote on social media: “We hope you make Alison and Dermot as welcome as you’ve made us over the years.
“Have a Ball you two! It’s not Goodbye from us, it’s simply Au Revoir until the next half term.”
But the couple have confirmed they had no idea of ITV’s plans to revamp the show.
Ruth told New! magazine in November 2020: “There’s always talk, I don’t know. Not that anybody’s told me.
“I think I am very good at what I do, and as long as they want me I’ll be there.
“I’ve been doing it a very long time and it seems we’ve been very popular, so I presume all those things will be taken into consideration.”
And a source told The Celeb Report in November 2020 that Eamonn feared he was too ‘pale, stale and male’ to continue on the show.
The source said: “No one wants to see them go. The shows execs have some very tricky decisions.
“Eamonn fears he is basically too ‘pale, stale and male’, and, at 60, perhaps not in line with the youth drive broadcasters are after.”
