Ruth should have been celebrating her 60th birthday on a romantic holiday in Italy with her husband. But the coronavirus pandemic ultimately scuppered those plans. Last week, the TV couple spoke to HELLO! about Ruth's altered birthday celebrations, with Eamonn revealing that on the day itself he would be taking his wife to a restaurant, coupled with some shopping for her perfect gift. Their close-knit family will also be included in the celebrations; as well as the couple’s 18-year-old son Jack, they have Eamonn's three children from his first marriage: Declan, Rebecca and Niall. Additional celebrations for Ruth include a big summer party, as well as a girls’ weekend away.

Sharing her excitement for the next decade, Ruth told HELLO!: "I can't quite believe I have reached the big 6-0 because when you are in your 20s, you think it's really old. But actually I am quite excited about it. I am very happy in my life, I have got a very happy marriage, a lovely family, I love my work and my career, so everything is going really well.”
