Eamonn Holmes has given fans a glimpse into the marital issues he faced with Ruth Langsford prior to initiating divorce proceedings.
The pair, who tied the knot 14 years ago, have recently confirmed their separation and are moving forward with divorce formalities, reports the Mirror.
Both aged 64, Eamonn and Ruth had shared 27 years together; however, the GB News presenter from Belfast was reportedly reluctant to make their breakup public and is said to be "devastated" by the situation.
Despite portraying a picture-perfect relationship to the outside world, it seems things were not always so rosy behind closed doors for the now-estranged couple.
Eamonn has previously spoken out about their marital difficulties, disclosing that Ruth once gave him an ultimatum.
Speaking frankly in a conversation with Kaye Adams, who appears with Ruth on ITV's Loose Women as a panellist, Eamonn expressed how his hobby of collecting vintage toys from his childhood via eBay was met with disdain from his wife.
"It meets disdain from my wife. I tend to look up toys from when I was about ten years of age, so anything to do with Airfix, soldiers, Captain Scarlet toys, Dinky, Corgi things that made me very happy when I was young," he explained.
He went on to reveal Ruth's reaction to his collectables: "And then Ruth shouts, things arrive and she doesn't allow them in the house and she calls them dust collectors. I'm not allowed to display anything. When I was a kid, I had lots of Action Men and I tried to start buying Action Men, but Ruth put the kibosh on that as well."
The pair announced on Saturday via their representatives that they are set to divorce.
This came in a statement: "Ruth Langsford and Eamonn Holmes have confirmed their marriage is over
