ITV This Morning: 'He LIED' Eamonn Holmes jibes Jack Brooksbank ahead of royal wedding
Eamonn Holmes and Ruth Langsford took on the royal wedding coverage for ITV programme This Morning today, and were getting increasingly excited about the impending nuptials.
The married presenters conducted an interview with the couple Princess Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank ahead of the live programming today, where they chatted to the pair about everything from marriage advice to finding “love at first sight”.
At the end of the interview, Jack insisted he would remember to give Eamonn and Ruth a wave as they drove past the ITV studio tent to the chapel.
But what took place was actually very different.
It makes sense the groom would have his mind on other things as he headed into the ceremony, but Eamonn was noticeably unimpressed.
Holding out his hand in a wave, Eamonn tried to catch the groom’s attention but failed.
“He promised us a wave Ruth,” Eamonn noted, but Ruth didn’t reply.
Having missed Jack’s attention completely, Eamonn declared: “He lied.”
Earlier on in the show, Ruth made an accidental blunder as she attempted to pronounce Princess Eugenie’s name.
Even after a prior discussion over how to say the complicated name, Ruth still said it wrong during the live coverage.
Catching herself, Ruth lamented: “Oh god I’ve said it wrong again haven’t I…”
Rolling her eyes and laughing, the presenter was seemingly embarrassed by her mistake.
“I’ve said it right three times!” she insisted with a laugh.
Later on in the programme, Ruth and Eamonn shared their full interview with the bride and groom, and it was clear the pair were loved up and incredibly excited for their big day.
Princess Eugenie talked about how easy her relationship with her husband-to-be Jack Brooksbank was from their first meeting, claiming it was “love at first sight”.
Eamonn and Ruth even asked the couple if they wanted their advice for a long and happy marriage.
“What’s it like to work together?” Eugenie asked with a giggle, but Ruth was firm.
“Don’t do it, never do that,” Ruth joked.
“The secret to a long and happy marriage is never have a cross word between you,” Eamonn then insisted.
This Morning airs weekdays at 10.30am on ITV.
Michelle Obama's Marriage Advice Is Actually Really Practical
The former president and first lady of the United States were known for, among other things, candid conversations about their relationship. Speaking of that very topic once more on The TODAY show on Thursday, former first lady Michelle Obama had some marriage advice that essentially came down to this: get your own bathroom.
“One of the keys to a successful marriage is separate bathrooms,” Obama said. “When [Barack Obama] enters my bathrooms, sometimes I’m like, ‘Why are you in here?’ And he’s like, ‘I live here. Can I enjoy my bathroom too?'”
Life after the White House seems good for Obama, who said that it’s mostly enjoying the “small things.” For instance, she said, “It’s going to my girl’s game and just really being a mom. So there’s nothing new that’s going on; it’s just that we’re out in the real world.”
The former first lady was present on the show to promote an education-focused program called Global Girls Alliance. Obama said that the initiative will help bolster the operations of some 1,500 grassroots programs on providing girls access to better education.
Speaking of the importance of such a program, Obama said, “The stats show that when you educate a girl, you educate a family, a community, a country. It makes no sense … that girls and women are not getting educated, that they’re not in school.”
Speaking further about the educational program, Obama linked it to broader subjects. “So it absolutely makes sense for us,” she said, “if we care about climate change, if we care about poverty, if we care about maternal and child health, then we have to care about education.”
The former first lady also spoke about former President George W. Bush and her admiration for him. “President Bush and I are forever seat mates because of protocol; that’s how we sit at all the official functions,” Obama said. “So he is my partner in crime at every major thing where all the formers gather.”

Separate spaces in the same household may sound a little counterintuitive but some couples cite separate beds and even bathrooms as a way to keep a marriage happy and thriving.
According to a Today report on the subject, a respect for personal space can help a couple regain control of their relationship. One of the interviewees, Erica Scoville of Richland, Washington, explained her decision to sleep in a separate bed in the same house. “It’s important for people to remember that sleeping together doesn’t always save a marriage any more than sleeping apart ruins a marriage,” she said.
“It’s sleep,” Scoville added, “and sleep is really important to everyone. But even more important than that is loving each other enough to try something that makes life a bit easier for your partner.”
The same could be argued for couples using separate bathrooms. Considering that many people have their own morning and nightly routines and rituals, a separate bathroom for a couple could help them follow their schedules without straining a marriage. This is all to say: Obama might just have a point.
Alec Baldwin gives marriage advice to newlyweds Hailey Baldwin and Justin Bieber
Alec Baldwin offered marriage advice to his niece, Hailey Baldwin, and her new husband, Justin Bieber.
The 60-year-old actor was recently a guest on The Rachael Ray Show, for an episode that will air Oct. 15, where he opened up about the type of chats he had with the lovebirds ahead of their secret nuptials.
“It’s young love,” he says. “They came to my house this summer. Hailey, who is adorable, she came with [Justin] to my house, and they sat down. And I always say to people, ‘You get married because you have to.’ I don’t mean in that sense… I meant that when I met my wife, [Hilaria Baldwin], I wasn’t really thinking about getting married again. I wasn’t sure [if I wanted to], I didn’t really think about it much at all.”
“And when I met Hilaria, I remember sitting there going, ‘Oh, the thought that that woman is out there and I don’t have her, I would be miserable,'” he continues. “Like, I had to marry her.”
And Alec certainly knows a thing or two about tying the knot in the spotlight. He’s been married to Hilaria since 2012, and the two share four kids together: daughter Carmen, 5, and sons Rafael, 3, Leonardo, 1, and Romeo, 3 months. He also shares a daughter, 22-year-old Ireland, with his previous wife, Kim Basinger.
ET spoke with Ireland at the iHeart Radio Festival back in September, where she reacted to what it’s like seeing Hailey and Justin so in love.
“They’re just kissing all over the world,” she gushed. “They’re just kissing and loving and having fun, and I think people take little details and get too caught up in them, and they’re looking too hard. Just let them kiss!”
“[Their engagement] was meant to be a long time ago,” she added. “It was just a long time coming, and we’re all like, ‘All right, thank God, let’s move forward.’ They’re so in love and they really do a lot of good for each other, and that’s the most important thing for me, that he makes her so happy.”
Just one month after rekindling their romance, Justin, 24, proposed to Hailey, 21, in July while the two were vacationing in the Bahamas. They secretly tied the knot in New York City last month.
An additional source told ET earlier this week that although Justin and Hailey are legally married, the pop star is choosing not to wear a wedding band just yet, but will “most likely” rock one following a “more formal ceremony” with family and friends.
“Justin is telling friends he isn’t planning on wearing a wedding band for a while,” the source said. “As much as Hailey and Justin are public about their relationship, they are trying not to make a spectacle of it, and that is why they kept their marriage under wraps and got engaged without telling anyone.”
