Ruth Langsford’s husband admitted he nearly delayed treatment, but is glad he got “caught unawares”.
A fan tweeted him saying, “Always best to get caught unawares like that, than having to wait to go back and the nerves kick in.. get it out the way that day… well done for being brave.”
To which he replied, “Ha ha… I nearly delayed, and then I took a deep breath. Get it done.”

It comes just days after Eamonn criticised Channel 4 for their “cruel” Gogglebox edit which left him “deeply upset”.
During Fridays night’s Celebrity Gogglebox the This Morning host candidly discussed his father’s death while the celebrities watched an episode of BBC’s Ambulance. It was an emotional moment that had wife Ruth in tears.
However, rather than broadcast the scene, Channel 4 instead played a clip of Eamonn and Ruth later sharing some lighthearted chatter about when Ruth was in labour with the couple’s son, Jack.

After seeing the show, Eamonn was furious with the edit – and that other celebrities were able to share their stories, while his emotional speech was missing.
He wrote, “In reply to a number of complaints …. I am hurt beyond belief that @C4Gogglebox chose not to use me talking about my Father dying from a Heart Attack at the side of a road and replace it with a funny story following a young lad giving his Father CPR . Idiotic and cruel edit.”
