“Certainly will, I very rarely watch this morning since you left,” another added in agreement.

“I always used to put it on but decided I would look at other channels and have found other programs I enjoy. As you two are back I will be watching.”

Ruth and Eamonn are hosting the show all this week as it’s February half term for school children.

The duo are due to return to This Morning for the Easter holidays, when regular presenters Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby take a break.

At the weekend, Ruth, 60, revealed that she’d had the Covid vaccination.

The mum-of-one told fans that she was “so grateful” to get the jab and thanked everyone involved.

“JUST HAD MY VACCINE!!” she wrote on Instagram, in view of her 990,000 followers, before adding, “Feel SO grateful.”

Ruth went on to say: “Thought it was a scam message at first as I wasn’t expecting to be called until March!

“Thank you everybody, staff & volunteers, at the vaccination centre in Walton-on-Thames, Surrey...a quick, well organised and very friendly experience. The jab took seconds and was

painless.”
