Ruth Langsford hits out at trolls for 'vile' remarks about Eamonn Holmes 'Can't hold back'

Another follower who agreed with Eamonn added: “I’m from Castledawson in N Ireland and of course you’re right Eamonn, I used to carve turnips at Halloween.”

Another Irish viewer added: “100% with you Eamonn!! Yes in good ole norn Iron the big one is a turnip….. I have no idea why everyone thinks it’s not…. but maybe we’ve all been lied too!”(sic)

Meanwhile, lots of other followers sided with Ruth on this occasion.

“Ruth is right.. it’s a Swede. Sorry Eamonn but get over it you lost this one,” a third social media follower remarked.

“Sorry Eamonn but #ruthisright the big yellow flesh vegetable is a swede and the smaller white flesh vegetable is a turnip,” another added.
