Eamonn Holmes said he was looking forward to having his wife back as Ruth Langsford was eliminated from Strictly Come Dancing.
TV presenter Langsford and her professional partner Anton Du Beke were booted off the BBC One show on Sunday night, after finding themselves in the dance-off against Paralympian Jonnie Peacock and Oti Mabuse.
Holmes posted on Twitter: “Well it’s #Strictly over and my darling @RuthieeL has no complaints.
