ITV has announced huge news for This Morning favourite Ruth Langsford in the wake of husband Eamonn Holmes’ latest allegations.

Ruth is set to return to the show for the first time since she and Eamonn were sensationally axed from their regular Friday slot.

She’ll be back alongside her “TV son” Rylan Clark for a stint in the summer.

It comes after Eamonn branded the ITV daytime show the “ministry of lies” in a new interview.

Eamonn makes fresh allegations

The news comes after Eamonn made a fresh set of allegations about the show.

Speaking at the TRIC Awards last night in the winners’ room, he branded it the “ministry of lies”.

He claimed: “I haven’t been slagging them off. ITV have been telling lies about me. They’ve been telling lies about me. I’m just putting the record straight.

“The Ministry of Lies, their press office, which chunder out there the same.

“The point is I did not resign from ITV. ITV resigned from me. And I never received a single explanation once why they wanted rid of me,” The Mirror reported.
