Ruth Langsford ‘angry’ after Eamonn Holmes ‘consoled’ by blonde divorcee after split

The couple were seen as the most solid in showbiz, but the fallout continues after the abrupt announcement of Ruth Langsford and Eamonn Holmes’ imminent divorce

Ruth Langsford is ‘angry’ after finding out soon-to-be ex husband Eamonn Holmes has been consoled by a mystery blonde friend, who he has lavished with expensive gifts.

The couple, both 64, have revealed they are splitting up after 27 years together, and almost 15 years of marriage, as confirmed by their reps following much speculation. The Loose Women star and her Northern Irish husband hadn’t been pictured together for months, with fans becoming concerned about the status of the couple’s relationship. With reports of explosive arguments and Eamonn’s health conditions “testing” the whole family, it seems a split was on the cards for a while.

But now Eamonn has moved out of the family home, it seems he’s been getting closer to a blonde woman in her 40s, who he met after she commented on one of his Twitter posts. Her name hasn’t yet been revealed, but the woman reportedly works for a charity that Eamonn has endorsed, and even helped to host an event for free.

A source told The Sun on Sunday : “Ruth was obviously aware that her marriage was crumbling, but as details emerge, her upset has turned to anger. Eamonn’s friend is bowled over by being lavished with attention and kindness from him.”

The woman in question is said to be a relationship counsellor who deals with “separation and divorce”, and the pair have allegedly become closer friends over the last 12 months.

The insider added: “She works for a charity Eamonn is involved with from time to time.”

Ruth was said to be unaware of their blossoming friendship, with Eamonn going on a trip to a safari park with her, as well as treating her to a Center Parcs visit, a Beyonce concert and even tickets to see Manchester United at Old Trafford – Eamonn’s beloved football team.

The Mirror has reached out to Eamonn and Ruth’s reps for comment.

While Eamonn has been open about the split, Ruth seems to be avoiding the drama around her personal life. But former Gladiators presenter Ulrika Jonsson has spoken out in support of Ruth, saying Eamonn is “a leading member of the Grumpy Old Men’s Club”, while still saying how she liked him “a lot.”

Ulrika said those who have branded her friend “Ruthless” for leaving Eamonn at a low point, due to his ongoing health struggles, are wrong. Ulrika wrote: “This is baffling to me. Let’s face it, Eamonn, 64, has become a leading member of the Grumpy Old Men’s club over the years and he’s a proper curmudgeon.”
