He concluded: “I wasn’t allowed to lie down next to her and she wouldn’t sit down, so we didn’t do the interview.”

The charity event included performances from celebrities, including S Club’s Jo O’Meara and Jon Lee, who headlined.

Eamonn recently revealed he has “no hard feelings” towards his ex Ruth Langsford and is simply focused on “living his life” despite reports he is “seething” over his recent trip to Australia.

A source told MailOnline he was baffled by reports he was angry about her long-haul flight because he always struggled to get Ruth to travel with him during their marriage.

They said, “This all makes no sense. He lives his life and there are no hard feelings. He never got angry and it’s just laughable that he would.

Ruth has just returned from her brief trip to Australia, to her, I’m a celebrity… Get me out of here! appearance.

MailOnline has contacted Eamonn and Ruth’s rep for comment.

Eamonn jokingly revealed in 2019 that Ruth would only board a plane if she had had several alcoholic drinks, as she is a very nervous traveler.

Speaking on This Morning at the time, Eamonn said: “Ruthie doesn’t like planes, it’s not an easy task.”

Ruth added: “I’m not completely phobic, but a lot of people will be like that and feel uncomfortable. For others, it poses a real barrier to their way of traveling.

Eamonn interrupted, adding: “Ruth has the perfect solution. She drinks to forget. She drinks before the flight, she drinks during the flight and she drinks after the flight. It helps him forget.

Laughing, Ruth said: “That’s a bit of Dutch courage,” before adding: “You’re not doing my PR any good this morning, are you?”
