However, one follower made a joke about his wife Ruth Langsford, writing: "Ask Ruth, Eamonn, her last vision is you at night, she mustn't sleep at all." To which, Eamonn replied: "Ha ha… always in the land of nod. She sleeps so well."
Another fan admitted that she was having "really strange dreams" ahead of her dad's funeral – and Eamonn revealed how much he sympathised. "Not surprising Michelle," he said. "30 years on I remember waking up on the same day with the same feelings. Sorry for your loss."

"As good as you do, staying in employment, people like me have got to stay relevant," he revealed. "To stay relevant, you have to know your market. You've got to see the trends coming and you have to reinvent yourself." The TV star added: "What I would say about my job is that getting on the conveyor belt is very, very tough, very hard, but staying on the conveyor belt is harder."
