Eamonn Holmes thanks Jonnie Peacock for ending Strictly “torture”

He was pleased when wife Ruth Langsford was eliminated last year

Eamonn Holmes may have left wife Ruth Langsford a tad miffed on Wednesday morning after he THANKED athlete Jonnie Peacock for sending her home on Strictly Come Dancing!

Ruth ended up in the dance-off against Paralympic Champion Jonnie on last year’s show and the judges ultimately chose to keep Jonnie in the programme and send Ruth home.

Gutting for Ruth but great news for Eamonn!

Eamonn shook Jonnie’s hand and quipped: “Could I just say… I’m pretty sure you put her out on the dance off. My friend, she remembers this as a wonderful journey, I just remember it was torture week after week.

“And when it came to an end, a sanitised end, I just thought, ‘That’s my boy, well done!'”

Jonnie laughed: “Oh, don’t! Strictly is cutthroat sometimes! You’re just focused on yourself and trying to dance.”
