RUTH Langsford will not be making a return to Loose Women this week, The Sun can exclusively reveal. The Loose Women anchor, 64, has decided to extend her break by another week following her split with husband Eamonn Holmes . Earlier today, we told how Eamonn is being consoled by a blonde divorcee in her 40s - who also happens to be a marriage counsellor.
The TV presenter , 64, grew close to the woman last year after they first made contact several years ago. Eamonn has been on outings with the woman, including a trip to a safari park, and he has showered her with gifts. It is understood that Ruth was unaware of their liaisons until recently.
A telly insider has now told us: "Ruth will not be back on screen this week. "She has decided to extend her break from ITV so will not yet be making a return to the Loose Women panel." Ruth and Eamonn confirmed their shock separation last weekend and revealed they are getting a divorce.
Revealing their split after 14 years of marriage in an exclusive statement to The Sun on Sunday, their spokesperson said: “Ruth Langsford and Eamonn Holmes have confirmed their marriage is over and they are in the process of divorcing.” Ruth has not appeared on ITV1's daytime show Loose Women, of which she works as a main anchor, since the announcement was made. On Friday, however, she did put on a brave face and made a return to QVC .
Ruth was on the shopping channel to promote her fashion range and she notably had her wedding ring still on her finge.
