The couple still continue to host the show during the half-terms.

As regular hosts Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield are usually off, they present for five days that week.

During their February stint, viewers called for Eamonn and Ruth to return to good.

Meanwhile, it came months after producers made the decision to cut the duo from their Friday show.
