Boxer Tommy Fury joined the Loose Women on Tuesday to promote his new book, but the conversation soon turned to break-ups as Ruth Langsford touched on her split from Eamonn Holmes.

Loose Women host Ruth Langsford has opened up about her split from Eamonn Holmes after the pair called time on their marriage earlier this year after 14 years together.

During Tuesday’s episode of the ITV daytime show (November 12), the panel, consisting of Ruth, Linda Robson, Katie Piper and Nadia Sawalha, were joined by former Love Island star Tommy Fury who spoke about his recent separation from Molly-Mae Hague.

Tommy, 25, was promoting his new book ‘Lightning Can Strike Twice’ which includes details of his break up from Molly-Mae, also 25, following their five year relationship. Ruth confirmed the books publisher delayed publication so Tommy could add a last chapter about his separation.

The conversation between Ruth and Tommy sparked the Loose Women star to touch on her own experience of separating from Eamonn.

Ruth said Tommy: “No-body could have missed that you and Molly-Mae had sadly broken up. We’re all very sad to read that, we all followed this wonderful love story on Love Island.

“You have written about it in your book because they delayed the publication of the book for you to write the last chapter.”

She added: “You said you don’t want to go into detail about it, but how are the two of you doing? And you’re obviously co-parenting Bambi.

“It’s a tricky time as I know, going through all of these things in public, and everyone has got something to say, without knowing the truth!”

“They really do, that’s been the overall thing of the past few months”, Tommy replied.

“I don’t listen to anything in the press or social media, because it’s all – that’s one story apart from the real story. Like I said, moving forward now everyone is entitled to a private life.

“Me and Molly got together when we were very young, and we just think going forward everything should be private now. That’s not only what I want for me, but for Bambi, for her sake.”

Eamonn and Ruth married in 2010, and they share a son, Jack, who was born in 2002. The pair announced they were going to divorce in a statement released on May 25, 2024.
