Ruth, 51, explained that dreaded early mornings would “kill” her.

As a result, she’s happy to hit the snooze button whilst Eamonn heads off to work.

In her latest column for Best Magazine, Ruth shared: “And before any of you ask why I’m not working with Eamonn on breakfast television, you obviously don’t know me.

I would fall at the first hurdle

“Respect to Eamonn and Isabel [Webster], facing up to 3am alarm calls, but I honestly know it would kill me.”

Ruth continued: “I would fall at the first hurdle. I need my sleep too much. I’ll happily join the rest of you watching at home.”

The presenter also confirmed her future on This Morning in the column, revealing that she is “still at ITV“.

He told The Sun: “For months now I haven’t been able to walk, sometimes at all, and it has really taken its toll on everyone around me too.

“I can’t bend down to pick things up so Ruth ends up having to wait on me.

“It has caused some strain and Ruth is fed up of hearing about it and of me saying I can’t walk the dog or tidy up, but I can’t help it. It’s agony.”
