Ruth Langsford has made a rare comment about her sex life, following her split from husband Eamonn Holmes, as the Loose Women panellists discussed romps
Ruth Langsford, the Loose Women favourite, made a surprising reference to her love life on the show, hinting at its absence. The TV personality, 65, joined colleagues Coleen Nolan, Kelly Brook, and Nadia Sawalha on the ITV programme on Wednesday (May 14) for a chat about various issues.
During the latter part of the episode, the discussion took a turn towards personal intimacy as the panel touched upon whether they’d consider enhancements to aid their sex lives now that they’re older. In a candid moment, Ruth, who parted ways with husband Eamonn Holmes the previous year, divulged that she isn’t currently sexually active, reports Belfast Live.
With the conversation steering towards the possibility of pencilling in special moments, Kelly Brook the baton to Ruth asking: “What about you?”

To which Ruth admitted: “Well, I’m not doing anything at the moment.”
Kelly continued to probe, highlighting that without placing it in the diary, finding time can be tough with a hectic lifestyle saying, “Because if you don’t schedule it, you’re not going to have time, are you? Because life just takes over.”
She added more context, noting the busy schedules they keep: “You’re working, you’ve got to get to the BAFTAs, you’ve got to get home to the dog.”
Meanwhile, fellow presenter Coleen, also single, expressed her scepticism about the idea of planning passion, remarking: “I think the problem is when you schedule it, it also becomes regimented almost.”

Speaking to Women and Home magazine, Ruth shared her thoughts on the split, stating: “I’m quite fine being on my own, but not forever. Relationship breakdowns are very difficult, but you deal with it and have to move on.”
She continued: “You can let yourself crumble or you pick yourself up and get on with life. It’s a choice.”
