Reports have suggested that Ruth Langsford could win full custody of the dog she shares with soon-to-be ex-husband Eamonn Holmes after their divorce plans were revealed

Eamonn Holmes is facing even more heartache following his shock split from wife Ruth Langsford – as he is tipped to lose access to their pet dog.

Fans of the 64-year-old GB News presenter and wife of 14-years Ruth, also 64, were stunned this Bank Holiday weekend as new broke their marriage is over. Even more shocking are reports that the couple called time on their relationship two years ago but kept the break-up a closely guarded secret.

Now reports have suggested that Ruth will take 14-year-old dog Maggie with her following the split, leaving Eamonn dogless. While Eamonn and Ruth are parents to 22-year-old son Jack, they are believed to consider Maggie as being like a second child.

Taking to social media on Sunday in the aftermath of the bombshell split news, Ruth shared a short clip of herself walking the Collie cross along a stretch of grass. Friends have claimed Eamonn and Ruth are set to face “difficult conversations” about who should have custody of the pet.

A source told The Sun that Eamonn’s recent health issues could have an impact on who keeps the dog, claiming: “Maggie is like a daughter to them. They dote on her. But she’s getting on and they know she needs stability. It’s a case of who can give her that. Eamonn adores her and Maggie’s been such a support during his health woes.

“The thought of giving her up is heartbreaking to him. But if Ruth is able to get out and about and walk her more, then it may well be that she gets Maggie in the split.”

The source went on to express hopes that the pair won’t need to resort to involving lawyers over who gets to keep the pooch. The Mirror has approached a spokesperson of the couple for comment.

Eamonn and Ruth announced the end of their marriage on Saturday – leaving fans gobsmacked. They released a joint statement which read: “Ruth Langsford and Eamonn Holmes have confirmed their marriage is over and they are in the process of divorcing.”

Ruth is expected to take time away from Loose Women while shockwaves of the divorce continue to make headlines. A source revealed on Sunday: “Ruth is choosing to stay off air a little longer – at least for a week. Her husband, however, is said to be gearing up to tell all about his second divorce when he returns to GB News on Monday.”

Eamonn, however, is scheduled to return to his GB News morning show, titled GB News’ Breakfast with Eamonn and Isabel, on Tuesday morning. A spokesperson for the channel told the Mirror on Monday that Eamonn would reprise his role on the show “after the bank holiday.”

TV star Ruth Langsford will take the month off work from Loose Women following her shock split from Eamonn Holmes after 14 years of marriage

The presenter has been left “hurt” by the discovery that, in the wake of their separation, her husband Eamonn Holmes is being consoled by another woman with whom he’s been on a string of outings.

Ruth is said to have known nothing of their day trips together until recently and it has been described as a key factor in their decision to call time on their relationship. She has also been left “deeply upset” over suggestions that she’s walked away from her marriage because of Eamonn’s ongoing health woes.

Friends insist there is “no way back” for their marriage, which is heading for the divorce court. Ruth, 64, will extend her time off for the rest of June but plans to return to the ITV show next month. She was last seen on screen in May

One pal said: “Ruth was hurt when she learned about Eamonn’s friendship with another woman but she is strong and she will be back soon with a smile on her face, putting her best foot forward, as she always does. She needs a bit of time to regroup after everything that’s gone on, which is understandable, but she plans to return to Loose Women, with renewed vigour, in July.”

On the prospect of a reconciliation, the friend insisted: “No chance whatsoever.” Ruth was left reeling by the discovery that Eamonn, 64, has been seeing a woman in her forties after striking up a friendship with her over the past couple of years. He is said to have taken her out to venues including a trip in February to a safari park, plus a Manchester United game and a Beyonce gig.

The GB News presenter, who had a double hip replacement in 2015 and a spinal operation in 2022, is said to have grown particularly close to the woman over the past year. They made contact via social media having been loosely connected, via a mental health charity, for some time. The woman is said to volunteer for a charity which Eamonn became involved with following the death of Ruth’s sister, Julia Johnson, who had suffered with depression.

Ruth nursed her husband of 14 years through his back surgery and subsequent broken shoulder which he sustained after falling down the stairs at their home in Surrey. “The thing that deeply upsets and frustrates her is the notion that she’s ditching him because of his ongoing health issues,” one pal said. “That is not true. She’s always been there for him. But she has struggled with the knowledge that he’s not always been honest with her.”

Last night a spokesperson for Ruth said: “Ruth had holiday time booked from Loose Women and has extended her leave. She’s looking forward to returning to the show in due course.” Earlier this week Ruth posted pictures of her trip to the hairdresser to have her highlights redone, thanking her stylist, Josh Wood, for her new glam look.

Eamonn returned to the GB News breakfast show, which he co-hosts, just a few days after news of their divorce was made pubic. While he alluded to their break-up, and thanked viewers for the kind messages they’d sent to both him and Ruth, he was then able to focus fully on presenting the news.

A pal said it was harder for Ruth, as a host on panel discussion show Loose Women, because the topics often covered relationship issues and matters of the heart which made it tricky to escape what she was going though herself. The couple, who have a 22-year-old son, Jack, had been an item for a total of 27 years before deciding to split.

A joint statement issued last month said simply: ”Ruth Langsford and Eamonn Holmes have confirmed their marriage is over and they are in the process of divorcing.” Eamonn has moved out of their home in Weybridge, Surrey. Ruth has spoken about caring for Eamonn through his surgeries and ongoing ailments. At the end of last year she said: “With any care situation – and there are millions of carers in this country – it isn’t always easy, but if something happens to somebody you love, you help them as much as you can.”

Ruth Langsford has been left “hurt” by a discovery following her split from Eamonn Holmes, pals say.

The Loose Women star shocked fans when she split from her broadcaster husband following 14 years of marriage last month. However, friends close to the presenter have insisted there is “no way back” for their marriage. Eamonn has returned to work on his GB News show, while Ruth is taking an extended break from her ITV presenting duties.

She is taking the rest of the month off work and has been left “hurt” after finding out her husband is being consoled by another woman with whom he’s been on a string of outings. Ruth was left reeling after finding out Eamonn has been meeting up with a woman in her forties.

The pair struck up a friendship over the past couple of years and he is said to have taken her out to venues including a trip in February to a safari park, plus a Manchester United game and a Beyonce gig. Eamonn is said to have grown close to the woman over the past year.

A friend has shared how Ruth has been left “deeply upset” over suggestions she walked away from their marriage because of Eamonn’s health woes. The former This Morning host, who shares 22-year-old son Jack with Ruth, had back surgery and suffered a broken shoulder after falling down the stairs of their Surrey home.

“The thing that deeply upsets and frustrates her is the notion that she’s ditching him because of his ongoing health issues,” one pal said. “That is not true. She’s always been there for him. But she has struggled with the knowledge that he’s not always been honest with her.”

A spokesperson for Ruth has said: “Ruth had holiday time booked from Loose Women and has extended her leave. She’s looking forward to returning to the show in due course.” Eamonn headed back to work just a matter of days after news of their split emerged. Speaking to viewers on his morning programme, Eamonn said: “So here we are on this Tuesday morning and a lot of politics.

“Just before we move on I would just like to thank people for your support for Ruth and I over the last few days as to the news of our separation. Your support for both of us is very much appreciated.” Ruth has shared updates on social media as she stays off Loose Women, and shared that she underwent a divorce makeover. A joint statement issued last month said simply: ”Ruth Langsford and Eamonn Holmes have confirmed their marriage is over and they are in the process of divorcing.” Eamonn has since moved out of their family home.

Loose Women’s Charlene White remembered Dave Myers after the news of the Hairy Bikers star’s death, as she said he was ‘a huge loss’ to the TV family

Loose Women star Charlene White remembered friend of the show Dave Myers on Thursday after the sad news of his death.

The ITV host announced his death on the show leading to gasps of sadness from the live audience, with Charlene calling his passing “a huge loss”. The Hairy Bikers star, whose death was announced at the age of 66 by best pal and co-star Si King on Thursday morning, died on the night prior surrounded by his family.

Si released a statement on behalf of his loved ones as he said an emotional farewell to his co-star and close friend. Discussing the sad news on Thursday, Charlene revealed both Dave and Si were fans and friends of the show, as she paid tribute to the late TV star.

She told the audience and viewers at home: “We just wanted to share the news with you that Hairy Bikers star Dave Myers has died aged 66.” As the audience gasped and sighed loudly, she went on: “I know, I know.

“It’s just two years after revealing that he had been diagnosed with cancer, Dave and his co-star Si were big fans and big friends of the show. We send all of our love to both Si and of course Dave’s family. It’s a huge loss to our telly family.”

Si confirmed the passing of his beloved pal on Thursday morning, just days after the pair had promoted their latest ventures together and amid a TV return for the duo.

Just last week, an episode of his new series The Hairy Bikers Go West aired where he made an emotional comment. Si had said: “It’s great getting back here with my best mate. We didn’t think 18 months ago that we’d be on the bikes again wandering around Dave’s backyard and it’s wonderful that we are.”

Meanwhile, a smiling Dave added: “It’s been glorious. The motorcycling’s been glorious. What can I say. It feels so good to be alive!” The statement confirming his death on Thursday on social media read: “Hi everyone, I’m afraid I bear some sad news.

“Most of you will know Dave has been fighting cancer for the past couple of years. Last night, on 28th February 2024, with Lili, Dave’s wife, his family, close friend David and myself by his side, he passed away peacefully at home. All who knew Dave are devastated at his passing. His beloved wife brought him such happiness as did her children, Iza and Sergiu who Dave loved like his own.

“Personally, I am not sure I can put into words on how I feel at the moment. My best friend is on a journey that for now, I can’t follow. I will miss him every day and the bond and friendship we shared over half a lifetime. I wish you god’s speed brother; you are and will remain a beacon in this world. See you on the other side. Love ya.

“I know Dave and his family would want me to thank all of you who sent messages of support in recent times. It meant the world to him, his family and all The Hairy Bikers team.

“I am sending you all much love and gratitude for those simple acts of kindness, generosity and spirit. We are eternally grateful for them. May I ask you all for one further kindness and allow Lili, his wife, his family, close friends and I some time and some peace to process our huge loss. I am sure I will see you all soon. Love Si x”

Loose Women presenter Ruth Langsford sent fans wild as she donned a fabulous 70’s outfit to celebrate the 30th birthday of her close pal alongside stars including Denise Van Outen

Many are perhaps used to seeing presenter Ruth Langsford looking rather conservative while on the panel of Loose Women.

But Ruth showed off a more fun-loving side to her character when she sported a 1970’s outfit for a friend’s themed birthday bash. Wearing a pair of heart shaped pink tinted glasses, Ruth complimented her look with a shiny black top underneath a multi-coloured sequined jacket.

The TV personality, 63, who is married to Eamon Holmes, completed her look with a pair of denim jeans and gold high heeled shoes. In a series of stories on her Instagram, Ruth first posted a video of her and a pal in a dressing room with a caption that read: “Uber on it’s way sweetie!”

The next video was of her getting into the party spirit as she filmed her self dancing before heading to the bash. She captioned the video saying: “You jivin hun?” The next few clips were of the birthday girl named Liv Davey, who appears to be a make-up artist. In another video, Liv is seen dancing alongside Denise Van Outen, who was DJing, while having the time of her life. Denise also shared clips on Instagram, writing: “Happy 30th Liv!”

In a picture, it seems as though Ruth is looking to add more strings to her bow as she was snapped imitating a DJ. Earlier this month, Ruth sent fans into hysterics when she attempted the “of course” trend that is taking social media by storm.

The trend sees people address stereotypes or perceptions related to their particular careers or identity. Keeping up to date with the current trend, Ruth was seen posing in an outfit from her QVC clothing range as she told viewers: “I’m Ruth Langsford… of course I always model my own designs.” She was then seen standing in a kitchen, where she teased tea preferences.

A fan favourite on Loose Women has reportedly quit the ITV daytime show with a source saying there’s no ‘discussion with a regards to their return whatsoever’

One of the stars of Loose Women has quit the show with “no plans to go back”, according to reports.

Jane McDonald, 60, left her role as a panellist on the ITV show in 2014 after enjoying a successful 10-year tenure on the ITV daytime programme and was rumoured to be coming back for Loose Women’s 25th anniversary in September. However, it’s now been claimed the much-loved singer from Wakefield won’t be returning to the studio anytime soon.

Speaking about getting her back on the daytime show, which is hosted by presenters, including Kaye Adams and Ruth Langsford, a source said: “In September, Loose Women will celebrate 25 years on air, a feat nobody, especially the critics, thought they could achieve.”

They added: “But they have proved everybody wrong and bosses want to go all-out with the celebrations, including bringing back some Loose Women legends. And top of the list is Jane McDonald. For many, she is the ultimate Loose Woman and they will do anything to make sure she’s involved,” reports Bella magazine.

However, according to Entertainment Daily, a spokesperson for Jane shut down the rumours, saying: “There are no discussions taking place with regards to Jane returning to Loose Women whatsoever. She always thoroughly enjoys going back as a guest and catching up with the ladies but there’s no plans to go back as a panellist.” When contacted by the Mirror, a spokesperson for Jane confirmed this comment was “accurate”.

Jane, whose eagerly-awaited All My love tour starts in October, made her last appearance on Loose Women in September 2023 as a guest. Speaking about her departure from the much-loved show when she left as panellist back in 2014, she said: “It’s easy to keep doing something safe, but I’m a singer. It’s been an incredible ten years and I’ve loved every minute of it.”

The Cruise star has achieved huge successes in her career as a television personality, but has sadly been much less fortunate in her love life away from the cameras.

In March 2021, Jane’s teenage lover and partner of 13 years, Walter ‘Eddie’ Rothe, tragically passed away at the age of 67, after being diagnosed with lung cancer. Jane met her childhood sweetheart again by chance, while she was working on Loose Women and Eddie was doing an appearance nearby with The Searchers on This Morning. On her nerves at seeing him after 27 years apart, she told the Mirror: “I almost had to be dragged to see him. But then it was, ‘Oh my God! Big smiles’ and he lifted me off the floor and said, ‘Where have you been?’”

They couple remained together for more than 12 years, but sadly never married as Eddie tragically died on March 26, 2021. Jane opened up about her loss on Loose Women, crediting her work as her “‘saviour” throughout her “devastating” grief. She then expressed thanks for her loved ones, adding, “It is the support and the network that I have around me that has helped me through. I couldn’t have done it without the people around me.”

The Mirror has contacted ITV for comment on this story.

There’s no doubt that Frankie Bridge knows a thing or two about glamorous dressing, especially since she has her own weekly fashion series. On Saturday (March 16), the Loose Women star – who is married to ex footballer Wayne Bridge – cut a casual figure in a cosy cream cardigan as she showed off her favourite pieces from John Lewis.

The chunky knit worn by Frankie is Ro&Zo’s Crochet Knit Cardigan, which is currently reduced to £59 at johnlewis.com, down from £119.

Her laidback outfit was complete with some black wide-leg jeans, £60 (was £75), and a pair of Adidas Samba OG trainers that cost £90, here.

The former Saturdays singer shared her stylish ensemble, as well as other spring-ready outfits, with her 1.6 million followers on Instagram. She wrote in the caption: “Made a little visit to @johnlewis and tried on some of my Faves in store so many great pieces for Spring! Will add links to my stories if you want to take a look! #prvisit.”

Some of Frankie’s fans rushed to praise her latest looks, with one writing: “Looking beautiful”.

Another person said: “Looking incredible in every single piece” and someone else added: “Love these”.

With its open neckline and chunky design, Frankie’s Ro&Zo cardigan is cut from a breathable cotton blend, making it great for warmer days. It comes in sizes from an extra-small to a large.

Even more, there is also a black version available, so no need to worry if cream isn’t your colour.

As for the brunette beauty’s black jeans, these are by AND/OR Westlake and have been slashed to £60, down from £75. The stretchy denim style has a smooth fit at the hips that’s loose on the thigh, before flaring out to a wide-leg finish.

You can complete the look with the exact trainers sported by Frankie from adidas.co.uk. Available in UK sizes from three to 13.5, they’re so versatile and perfect for spring, costing £90.

If you think £59 is too pricey for knitwear, go for Marks and Spencer’s Cotton Rich Pointelle V-Neck Cardigan which costs just £35, here. It’s just as stylish and won’t break the bank.

Meghan Markle is said to be struggling and experiencing ‘sadness’ as her two babies grow up, which comes after she spent Mother’s Day last month without them

Meghan Markle is said to be struggling and experiencing ‘sadness’

Meghan Markle is said to be experiencing “sadness” over baby heartbreak, with the Duchess reportedly “struggling” as she faces the end of an era.

The Duchess of Sussex is a doting mother to her two children. Meghan and her husband Prince Harry welcomed their first child, Prince Archie, in 2019. And in 2021, the couple welcomed their second child, Princess Lilibet.

Just last month, for Mother’s Day in the United States, which is where the couple and their young family reside, Meghan was not with her children on the special day. During the Sussexes’ recent visit to Nigeria, which fell on Mother’s Day in the US, the former Suits actress shared her grief when she spoke of how she was not with her kids.

She said at the time: “Today is Mother’s Day. So it feels appropriate that although of course we are missing our children, I’m missing my babies, it feels very appropriate to be in the motherland and amongst family.”

And now a source has told OK! Magazine that Meghan struggles to be apart from her two young children. The source told the publication: “Meghan doesn’t like being away from her children as she doesn’t want to miss a thing with them growing up so fast. With Lili turning three, it’s really got Meghan and Harry thinking about their future and how quickly the children are growing up. Meghan especially feels that her babies are no longer babies and like most mums, it makes her slightly sad and wistful that the baby years have come to an end.”

The Sussexes’ daughter turned three on June 4, which is why Meghan could be struggling with the end of an era. The magazine reports that parenting expert Amanda Jenner explains: “For many parents, it really is a mix of emotions when you think your children are growing up so fast; it can leave parents feeling anxious about how fast time is going but it is completely natural.

“It’s perfectly normal that Meghan is feeling that sudden sadness and it’s important to find the positive. This can also be a time for parents to find themselves again as a person.”
