The 58-year-old has been recognised for his services to broadcasting and will receive the highly-prestigious Officer of the Most Excellent of the British Empire award later this year. 

However, appearing on Good Morning Britain today, Eamonn revealed that his wife Ruth Langsford, 57, may not be able to attend the ceremony. 

When asked by host Ben Shephard how many tickets Eamonn will receive and who will be watching in the wings, the Belfast-born presenter dropped a surprising bombshell. 

"My daughter loves the royals so I'd like her to be there. My son Jack wanted to be there too,” he said. “So Ruth might have to stand aside – and she would do that.

"If we had three tickets that would settle it, but really we need about 17!"

What’s more, Ruth may be left raging after Eamonn threatened to show some “disgraceful” footage of his wife from the Christmas holidays. 

“There is an exclusive video recorded by me in which she tries to murder her mother,” he grinned. 

"Watch that at 10.30am on This Morning. Ruth tried to murder her mother. It's shocking. It's disgraceful!"

Later in today’s GMB, Honey G was caught out after not realising she was on live television in front of millions.

Good Morning Britain airs weekdays at 6am on ITV.
