Eamonn Holmes unleashed a biting remark about his wife Ruth Langsford mere weeks before the duo made their separation public.
The pair, who became household names together on This Morning, declared the end of their 15-year marriage in May.
However, it was before this announcement that Eamonn candidly discussed his relationship.
While comparing his GB News colleague Isabel Webster to Ruth during an interview with a magazine.
“She and my wife are incredibly alike,” the veteran broadcaster said, after noting that Webster “never shuts up”.
He went on to label his Loose Women star wife as a “creature of habit” and drew parallels between her and his new television partner.
“They’re both creatures of habit, like routine and do things the same way every day,” he continued and in a sharp jibe, Eamonn remarked that they both “get on my nerves”. Joining the conversation with HELLO!, Isabel confessed that she and Ruth would often “gang up on him”, reports the Mirror.
“She sends me messages while we’re on air, saying things like, ‘tell him his tie’s not straight.’ And when he commented on Ruth’s snoring, she retorted, ‘Don’t get me started on his faults’,” Webster shared. Amidst dealing with the emotional turmoil of his marital breakdown, Eamonn is also contending with physical distress due to chronic back issues.
An insider has let slip that Eamonn Holmes is currently laying low, focusing on his professional commitments and his health rehabilitation. The veteran presenter was recently seen struggling to get into a London coffee shop, hinting at his ongoing battle with mobility.
On social media, Eamonn has been vocal about his physiotherapy journey, striving to improve his ability to walk. Despite receiving warm wishes from his followers with one saying “You’re doing well Eamonn” and him modestly replying “If only, but thanks” he remains realistic about the challenges he faces.
Another supporter sent hopes for his recovery, to which Eamonn simply said, “trying”.
A source disclosed: “He is doing the best he can under the circumstances but there is not too much to smile about. He is not looking to do any interviews and is just keeping his head down and just doing work at GB News and physio sessions to try to improve his mobility.”
The plot thickens in Eamonn’s personal life as it was reported that his estranged wife Ruth Langsford was deeply upset learning that Katie Alexander, 42, a relationship counsellor, has been providing him comfort amidst their separation. Katie has been seen with the GB News host on numerous occasions in the past twelve months, and she has frequented his abode.
However, insiders suggest that when Ruth returns to Loose Women, she’s likely to keep mum about the split.
Ruth’s mates are convinced she’ll steer clear of the limelight regarding her breakup, focusing instead on her comeback to the panel. At the TRIC awards last month, Eamonn didn’t hold back, saying: “I’m not OK. This is not a good time at all.”
When pressed about his and Ruth’s future, he admitted: “It’s too early to say but I hope we can still be friends.”
The love story of Eamonn and Ruth kicked off in 1997 after a friendly setup, blossoming into over ten years of romance before Eamonn popped the question. The duo said ‘I do’ in 2010, yet they hadn’t been spotted together in public for two years leading up to their recent parting.
