RUTH Langsford will be missing from duty on Loose Women this week following her split from Eamonn Holmes. However, Eamonn - who is a presenter on GB News - will return to his regularly scheduled position, and is set to address the break-up. The Sun exclusively revealed on Saturday that Ruth and Eamonn - at one point a fan favourite partnership on This Morning - were set to divorce after 14 years of marriage.
They first got together in 1997 after being introduced via mutual pals, and share one son, Jack, together. A spokesperson told fans about their split in a short but sweet statement. It read: “Ruth Langsford and Eamonn Holmes have confirmed their marriage is over and they are in the process of divorcing.
” Eamonn has also moved out of the family home for a property nearby. While Ruth has not made any public posts or comment in light of the break-up, Eamonn has seemingly carried on, even ignoring the news with an Instagram post on Saturday night. Instead, he focused on the FA Cup Final , sharing a sketch of what appeared to be him with Sir Alex Ferguson.
When he returns to work on Monday, he is expected to address the split properly live on air. A source said: “Eamonn is always frank on camera and knows it will be odd for him to discuss the day’s news without mentioning his split so he’ll say a few words. “He is putting on a brave face and will be the true professional he always is.
Focusing on work will be a welcome distraction.” Ruth will not be in her anchor.
