Eamonn Holmes, 61, is “getting better bit by bit” after suffering an agonising slipped disc, but he says the injury has made him fear he wouldn’t be able to cope if he didn’t have wife Ruth Langsford, 61, by his side.

The couple are due to spend Christmas apart this year as the GB News host spends time with his elderly parents who live in Ireland and are unable to travel to England.He said: “For the past seven months, being incapacitated with back and leg problems has really scared me.“What if there was no one there to help me with the little things?

To fetch and carry, cook and clean and generally ask if I needed anything?“Bit by bit, I am getting better - but let me cut a long story short.
