Presenting couple Eamonn Holmes and Ruth Langsford have revealed they have suffered a blow as their joint TV show has been shelved by channel bosses
Eamonn Holmes and Ruth Langsford have suffered a blow as their joint TV show has been scrapped by channel bosses.
The married couple’s programme, which saw them delve into the world of luxury travel, has become the latest show to be shelved. The veteran broadcaster admitted their Channel 5 show Eamonn And Ruth How The Other Half Lives has been stalled due to the effects of the pandemic and cost of living crisis.
The show aired for five series and also had a Christmas special. Eamonn and Ruth’s luxury getaways saw them sip on the world’s most expensive cocktail, visit a £20m Regents Park apartment and even use a £100,000 hand-engraved shotgun to shoot clay pigeons. Despite attracting around 1.2million viewers, Eamonn said there were no plans to revive the series.
“Sadly, the series fell victim to the pandemic – it was just impossible to get across the world to meet very rich people – and there are no plans to revive the series now. But I do feel privileged to have been a part of it and to have met people in parts of the world that are no longer accessible,” he told The Sun.
In the show, the couple were able to meet a billionaire and his wife in Ukraine and some of Russia’s richest people. Eamonn even got the chance to fly in a Russian billionaire’s private jet. They also travelled to lavish cities including Dubai, New York, Monte Carlo, Las Vegas and Lake Como.
Launching the show back in 2016, Loose Women star Ruth said: “We always thought we were doing alright then you see this wealth beyond your wildest dreams.” Eamonn added: ” I set out to do this show thinking I wouldn’t like the people very much, thinking they’re going to be arrogant, and they really weren’t. A lot of them are self-made people. The fascination is how they made their money, how they spend it, and why when they get the money they don’t just stop working.“
Eamonn and Ruth once fronted the Friday edition of ITV show This Morning, before they were replaced in 2020. Eamonn moved on to GB News while Ruth continues to work for ITV. Back in 2021, The Mirror revealed that Eamonn and Ruth were “blindsided” at being replaced on the blue sofa, as well as “furious and upset” about the axe, but they returned the year later to cover the summer break. It was recently reported Ruth would be worried about ‘upsetting’ her husband if she were to return to This Morning.
