The Loose Women star said that rather falling out over "big things", they often have smaller domestic disputes due to some of his habits that can "send me into a rage".

"Eamonn and I don't fall out over big things. On our anniversary, he peeled off the foil cover on a plastic milk bottle, left it wet-side down on the worktop, poured his tea and off he went," Ruth explained to Woman & Home.

"Things like that can send me into a rage. I said, 'How can your brain tell you that's all right?' Eamonn's mum had five boys and did everything for them, whereas I went to boarding school and so I was a lot more practical, so we're quite different."

The 62-year-old also said she is keen to instil better habits into her son Jack, adding: "If Jack ever left anything on the side, I'd go, 'Who do you think is picking that up? Me? Girls weren't put on the earth to pick up after men!' I hope that young women of his generation will not accept that. It shouldn't be the case that women work then come home and do the housework."

In the revealing interview, Ruth also admitted she was left in "physical pain" when her teenage son left home for university in 2021, and it has taken some time to adjust to life as an empty nester.

"I truly understand the pain of empty nest syndrome. The day we dropped Jack off at university, we said goodbye and, as we got around the corner, I burst into tears and Eamonn was crying too," Ruth said.

"It sounds dramatic but for the next three days, I felt like I'd had my womb ripped out. It was physical pain. I was sitting on his bed, sniffing his pillow, and I kept his bedroom door shut because then I could imagine he was in there."
