Viewers are seriously annoyed with ‘obsessed’ Ruth Langsford

She can't stop talking about Strictly

Ruth Langsford is not letting us forget she’s starring on this year’s Strictly Come Dancing.

It seems the presenter, 57, is taking every opportunity she gets to talk about the show – but we can’t blame her, who wouldn’t?!

But after Friday’s This Morning it appears that viewers are completely fed up with the star constantly mentioning it.

During today’s show Ruth’s professional dancing partner Anton Du Beke made several appearances throughout the show and even took over presenting at one point.

As the lunchtime show started to tell viewers what would be coming up next it showed Anton, 51, standing alongside Ruth as they welcomed viewers back to the show.

But Eamonn Holmes didn’t seem too impressed that he’d been ‘replaced’ by the dancer.

Looking at Anton, he said: “You’ve taken over my wife and you’re taking over my life full stop.”

“We didn’t know where you were,” Ruth jumped in saying.

“Well, you don’t care where I am anymore,” Eamonn snapped. “I’m not part of this relationship anymore.”

Turning to Anton he added: “I never see her. She’s out all day and she gets home late.”

And this wasn’t the only time the show focused on Ruth being on the dance competition.

Eamonn and Ruth were opening the show and were discussing food.

The Irish presenter was telling viewers how wife Ruth is not good at sharing her food as he joked: “Literally, if I tried to steal a chip off her plate I would get a fork into my hand.”

He then added: “I think you’re going to have to change your policy because you have a lot of weight to lose for Strictly.”

But viewers had finally had enough at the end of the show after Anton appeared again but this time during the duo’s interview with singer Louise Redknapp.

Louise, who is a former Strictly star, appeared on the show to talk about her new music coming out and the projects she has been working on this year.

But their interview was interrupted by Anton as the four started discussing the show.

Viewers were left annoyed and said they should be focusing on the chat with Louise rather than Ruth and Anton on Strictly.

One ranted on Twitter: “I know let’s talk about Strictly again you’re meant to be interviewing Louise Redknapp not talking about Ruth. Again!”

“Is Ruth on Strictly? …… they’ve not mentioned it,” another said.

A third tweeted: “Dead at Louise’s exclusive interview becoming another chat about Ruth on Strictly with Anton.”

A fourth added: “Louise’s interview hijacked by Ruth & Anton there.”

“Ok seriously-we all could of been paralytic drunk by now if we drank a shot every time Ruth/Eamon mentioned ‘Strictly’ today,” another wrote.

One angry viewer said: “Can we STOP talking about Ruth being on Strictly.”

Ruth will pop on her dancing shoes and take to the dance floor to perform a Charleston to The Charleston by Bob Wilson and his Varsity Rhythm Boys.

Hopefully she can impress the judges this week with her performance.
