Eamonn Holmes has spoken at length about his desire to return to Belfast where he grew up. However, there is one thing holding him back, and that is his wife of over a decade Ruth Langsford.
Loose Women star Kaye Adams asked Eamonn on her How To Be 60 podcast: “Could you see yourself moving to Belfast?”
In response, Eamonn remarked: “Oh gosh yes, but Ruth wouldn’t want that, she won’t go, she wouldn’t go.”
In the past, the former This Morning star has left his spouse feeling “irritated” after expressing his desire to relocate to Belfast on a full-time basis.
The presenter opened up in an interview with Belfast Live, revealing his heart lies in his home country, and he longs to return to it.

“And I say, ‘No Ruth, this is where I work, this is where I have to be, but home…'”
Eamonn added that for him, “home” is what forms “who you are” – and Belfast “brings his soul alive” when he flies back in.
Eamonn finally admitted that he only remains in England due to work commitments, saying: “If that work was in Northern Ireland, then I’d be in Northern Ireland.”
Fortunately, Eamonn also said Ruth “very much enjoys” travelling to Belfast with him, and as soon as he returns to Northern Ireland, everyone greeting him is incredibly eager to know where his wife is.
Previously, Eamonn has spoken about his “very close family” during an interview on The Journey with Pete Snodden.
He said: “I make no bones of it, I would live in Belfast again tomorrow, I have a home in Belfast.
“You know if I could, I would, that’s where I would be, that’s where I intend to end up.”
Eamonn then described how he had lived with homesickness since leaving his family there in the 80s.
“It’s never really gone away, but gosh I miss it, I’ve lived in a continual state of homesickness since I left in 1986 without a doubt.”
