She was welcomed back with a round of applause from the studio

RUTH Langsford put on a brave face as she returned to Loose Women today following her split from Eamonn Holmes.

Presenter Ruth, 64, whose break-up with her husband Eamonn, also 64, was revealed by The Sun in May, was welcomed back with a round of applause from the studio.

Still wearing her wedding ring, Ruth avoided addressing her comeback as she introduced the show’s topics as usual, reading from the autocue.

But after she’d gotten everything out of the way, Coleen Nolan jumped in with: “Can I just say I am so so happy that you’re back!”

Janet Street-Porter repeated, “Thank god,” three times before joking: “I was left with her – and her,” gesturing towards her co-stars.

Ruth replied: “I’m sorry Janet, I won’t do it again.”

It marked her first appearance on the show in two months, when the TV presenters announced their divorce in May.

A friend previously told The Mirror she would not be discussing her separation on the programme.

They said: “It has been a tough few weeks but now she feels it is time for her to get back to Loose Women.

“It is a job she loves doing and even though the split has been very tough, life must go on.

“Just don’t expect any big news or revelations about the divorce, she wants to keep that private.”

The couple’s 15-year union was said to have rapidly deteriorated after their departure from This Morning in 2021.

Eamonn has since been spotted with blonde beauty Katie Alexander, 42, after we told of their close friendship.

The two have been on numerous outings together in the last year.

Eamonn treated her to a Beyonce concert, Center Parcs and a Manchester United game — while Katie has been seen in his native Belfast.

Katie met Eamonn on X/Twitter in 2015 after she commented on a post and it sparked a conversation.

And relationship counsellor Katie, who is said to be head over heels for the presenter, has been staying with him in his luxury apartment.

A source told us: “The fact remains that he would still be in the marital home, being cared for by Ruth, if she didn’t find out what had gone on behind her back.

“There is a lot still to spill out on what has really gone on during Eamonn’s marriage. It will all come out in the wash.

“And even he will raise eyebrows at some of the details surrounding his new confidant Katie, who has told pals she’s ‘madly in love’ with him.

“Watch this space.”
Ruth Langsford made a triumphant return to Loose Women today, receiving a warm round of applause from the studio audience. Despite her recent split from Eamonn Holmes being in the headlines, Ruth remained composed and focused as she led the show. Her wedding ring still adorned her finger, a subtle reminder of the challenging times she has been facing.

Colleen Nolan couldn’t contain her excitement at Ruth’s return, expressing how happy she was to see her back on the show. Janet Street-Porter, known for her candid remarks, echoed the sentiment by exclaiming, “Thank god,” multiple times before sharing a lighthearted joke with Ruth. The camaraderie among the co-hosts was evident as they welcomed her back with open arms.

This marked Ruth’s first appearance on the show in two months since news of her divorce broke. While there was speculation about whether she would address the separation, a friend revealed to The Mirror that Ruth had no intentions of discussing her personal life on air. Instead, she was keen on getting back to work and focusing on the job she loves.

The cracks in Ruth and Eamonn’s marriage reportedly started to show after they left This Morning in 2021.

Eamonn’s friendship with Katie Alexander, a blonde beauty, raised eyebrows as they were seen spending time together at various events. Their close bond has led to rumors of a romantic relationship, with Katie allegedly head over heels for the TV presenter.

Insiders have hinted at possible revelations about Eamonn’s marriage and his involvement with Katie. There is anticipation for more details to emerge, shedding light on the dynamics of Eamonn’s relationships. Despite the challenges Ruth has faced, she remains resilient and determined to move forward with her life.
