Eamonn Holmes brought his live GB News breakfast show on Wednesday morning to a standstill as he hit back at a complaint from none other than his wife, Ruth Langsford.

The GB News presenter, 63, along with his co-host, Isabel Webster shared a laugh as they took some time out from reporting on the latest headlines to deliver a cheeky comeback to Loose Women host Ruth, also 63.

As the cameras panned back on Eamonn and Isabel after the morning weather report, viewers could see Eamonn standing up behind his desk as he beckoned the cameras to come closer.

Eamonn could be heard telling viewers at home: "The reason I'm standing up here, is we've had a viewer complaint," before his co-presenter burst into laughter.

As it turned out, Ruth had complained about a crew member who was seen on-screen adjusting Eamonn's chair. "Right, Maria, you lower my chair without me falling off and killing myself. But the reason we're doing this is because a viewer complained."

After his admission, Isabel questioned Eamonn on who made the complaint before he confessed that his wife Ruth had been mocking him about the position and height of his seat while presenting the morning show.

"Her name's Ms Ruth Langsford. And she's phoned in to say she doesn't like the position of my seat. If I fall off.... is it alright? I don't know. Push me in, Maria. See people think these things happen easily. Is that okay, Ms Langsford? Is that okay?" Eamonn joked.

Eamonn's cheeky quip about Ruth comes after he was recently supported by his fans after he shared a 'mood changing' health update amid his ongoing battle with chronic pain.

The GB News presenter has been suffering with chronic pain - caused by a dislocated pelvis and a trapped sciatic nerve, among many other health concerns - and has described his struggles over the past two years as 'soul-destroying '.

Last week, Eamonn took to Instagram to share a new update as he revealed that his mood is easily changed amid his agonising battle and seemingly endless pain. Eamonn told his fans that he gets a release while driving and listening to music while on the road as he can easily forget about his woes. "Love being in the car and listening to Music . Mood changer," the former This Morning star wrote.

After posting his car selfie, fans flocked to the comments to share their support with the GB News presenter as one gushed: "Looking so great Eamonn. You do not look your age at all," while another echoed: "Sending so much love Eamonn. You're an inspiration."

"I agree! There's nothing better than getting out on the road. A lot of love to you," someone else echoed while another fan of Eamonn's commented: "Handsome! Ruth is a lucky lady. Smouldering."

In recent months, Eamonn has regularly used a walking stick to help him get around after he slipped three discs in his back which have affected the movement of his right leg. He also underwent spinal surgery last September which left him with a weakened left leg.

Eamonn's streak of bad luck continued two weeks after his surgery while he was in recovery, when he fell backwards down 18 stairs at his home he shares with wife Ruth Langsford. The horrific fall left the former This Morning star with a broken shoulder, and further weakened the use of his legs.

Throughout his battle with chronic pain, Eamonn has been incredibly vocal about the realities of living life which immense setbacks - while also offering inspiration and hope to those who also find themselves in his position.

Eamonn regularly documents his chronic pain on social media, something which has earned him the praise of thousands of others who are currently going through the same experience as him.
