Co-host Dawn Neesom discussed attending Jeremy Vine’s 60th birthday party – saying “there were lots of celebrities there as well”.
This prompted Eamonn to then ask: “Who was there, who was there?”
To which Dawn replied: “I’m really rubbish at recognising celebrities, I knew you were going to ask me…”
Howecer, she proceeded to reveal socialite and TV personality Lizzie Cundy, 57, had been at the bash.
In response to hearing this, Eamonn then asked: “What celebrities were there?” while Dawn admonished him by saying “Eamonn!”
Lizzie and Ruth, 65, are known to be close pals and previously enjoyed a wild night out alongside Rylan Clark amid Ruth’s split from Eamonn.
Last year, it was revealed how Eamonn and Ruth had ended their 14-year marriage.
The former couple, who first began dating in 1996, share son Jack, who was born in 2002.
A source said previously: “Eamonn and Ruth’s relationship changed when they left This Morning.
“They started moving in different directions in their careers and their priorities started to change.

“Eamonn was desperate to return to Belfast, which he thinks of as home, but Ruth would never move. It became a bone of contention.
“As her ITV career continued, Eamonn went down another path and they became ships in the night.
“For the past two years they had led separate lives, professionally and personally.”
Ruth and Eamonn’s relationship timeline
Before the shock split announcement, Ruth and Eamonn seemed like one of the strongest couples on UK TV – even with their signature bickering style.
Here’s how their romance played out…
1997 – The couple first meet after being introduced by mutual friends, two years after Eamonn splits from his first wife, Gabrielle, with whom he has three children.
1997-2002 – To be respectful to Gabrielle, the couple kept their relationship out of the limelight. Ruth told Daily Mail: “I thought it spoke volumes about the sort of man he was, the sort of father he was and the integrity he had. It made me love him more, not less.”
2002 – Ruth and Eamonn welcome their son, Jack, to the family.
2005 – Eamonn finalises his divorce with Gabrielle.
2006 – The pair begin to host Friday episodes of This Morning together.
2010 – Eamonn proposes to Ruth while at the Cheltenham Races, after asking Ruth’s mother for her hand.
June 2010 – Eamonn and Ruth marry at Elvetham Hall, Hampshire.
2016 – Eamonn undergoes a double hip replacement in the first of many health battles.
June 2019 – On This Morning, Ruth and Eamonn say the secret to their happy marriage. Eamonn credits “compromise, consideration and lots of conjugal,” while Ruth said it was “laughter and an equal marriage”.
November 2020 – Ruth and Eamonn are replaced on their regular Friday slot by Alison Hammond and Dermot O’Leary in a ‘show shake-up’.
December 2021 – After a year of being moved to the bank holiday presenting slot, both Eamonn and Ruth left This Morning.
January 2022 – Eamonn debuted on GB News, while Ruth stayed with ITV in her long-standing role on Loose Women.
September 2022 – Eamonn undergoes spinal surgery after years of back issues including a trapped sciatic nerve.
November 2022 – Eamonn falls down the stairs of his Surrey home with Ruth and breaks his shoulder, requiring a new operation.
September 2023 – Eamonn has a spine and neck stretching procedure as part of his year-long recovery.
May 2024 – Ruth and Eamonn announce they have split after 14 years of marriage and a 27-year relationship.
September 2024 – Eamonn was spotted on a luxury holiday in Barcelona with his new girlfriend Katie Alexander. Ruth calls in a ‘fierce’ divorce lawyer.
The Sun revealed how the pair had been cutting final ties after the TV host was accused of ‘dragging his feet’ over their divorce.
GB News presenter Eamonn is now dating West Yorkshire grief counsellor Katie Alexander, 43.
Last month, the couple were seen during a tender public display of affection as they cheered on Katie’s eldest son in an amateur cup final.
TV host Eamonn stood from his wheelchair, holding on to a railing, as they got into the tense game in Wakefield, West Yorks – with onlookers describing them as “loved up”.
