‘I hope Eamonn won’t mind!’ Ruth Langsford jokes about sensual Rumba with Anton Du Beke.. as ‘jealous’ husband Holmes joins them in Strictly rehearsals with cardboard cut-out of her

Much has been made of the Strictly curse, with the TV couple regularly ribbing each other over her role in the dance show.

And Ruth Langsford, 57, continued to tease husband of seven years Eamonn Holmes, 57, as she joked about performing the sensual samba with partner Anton Du Beke on Saturday night’s Strictly Come Dancing show.

So naturally, Eamonn decided to keep an eye on things, turning up to rehearsals with a cardboard cut-out of his wife.
