Ruth and Joan share a special bond
Earlier this week, Ruth and Eamonn revealed that they will be spending this year's festivities apart once again, insisting it's "easier" for them as a family. While Eamonn will be returning to his native Belfast to visit his family, Ruth has decided that looking after her elderly mother needs to come first.
As Eamonn explained to Woman & Home magazine: "We have this issue now in that we've got a sea dividing us, we often have a dilemma or whether I go to Belfast or whether Ruth comes with me. But Ruth wants to be with her mum."

Ruth added: "Being apart for Christmas has never been a problem. I wouldn't be going to Belfast this year because I need to be with my mum. It's about family for me."
The holiday holds special memories for Ruth and her mum, with the 61-year-old presenter previously revealing it was always her late father's favourite holiday. Her dad Declan sadly passed away after medical complications stemming from dementia in 2012.
