Eamonn Holmes will celebrate his landmark 60th birthday on 3 December. And to mark the occasion, his wife Ruth Langsford organised a very special celebration. This Morning star Eamonn took to Instagram to share his wife's surprise with fans, revealing that Ruth had whisked him away to Vienna! Eamonn shared a photo showing the couple posing against a festive backdrop, with horse-drawn carriages and Christmas lights visible in the background. He wrote: "Whisked off by Ruth on a complete mystery trip for my birthday. Ended up in #Vienna with my children waiting there for me! Never been before – can't wait to come back. Great time in a truly majestic city."

Earlier this year, the Belfast-born presenter opened up about his long-term romance with Loose Women star Ruth – and joked that he is the emotional one in their relationship. "The thing about me is that I would say I love Ruth far more than she loves me, but she would say, 'How do you know how a person feels?'. She's more English, she's not like me, I am from a very emotional, very sentimental family. She's more stiff upper lip, she comes from an army family," he told Kate Thornton on Yahoo's White Wine Question Time. "But I totally believe that she loves me and adores me. But I would still like to think I love her and adore her more!"
