Ruth Langsford has appeared to make a defiant stance as her divorce battle with ex husband Eamonn Holmes continues.
The Loose Women presenter and GB News host announced their shock split back in May.
Over the past few months, it has become clear there is one major issue of contention they’ll struggle to agree on – who will get their beloved dog Maggie?
Ruth has been keeping fans updated on their pooch’s health as some have become concerned over her absence on Eamonn’s account.
Maggie, who is 14-years-old, recently had a procedure at the vet to remove a growth. Ruth shared a video earlier this month of Maggie with a shaved back after the operation.
She has since shared a sweet photo of the pup to her followers as she enjoyed the sun.
Alongside a snap of Maggie sunbathing on a patio, Ruth wrote: “She always finds the BEST sunbathing spot! My little grey faced girl!” It came just two days after Eamonn issued a message about Maggie to his followers. He shared a photo cuddling Maggie and said: “A lot of you wondering about Maggie. She’s had an op to remove a growth. All well . Not bad for a 14 year old ! In fact she’s in better shape than me.”
Fans thanked Eamonn for the update but urged him to look after himself, with one commenting: “Maggie is beautiful Eamon but please do look after yourself also I hope your notability improves it’s hard to keep an Irish man down.” While another wrote: “Lovely pic Eamon and so pleased Maggie is well love her our fur babies are family hope you’re doing well too living in pain is awful so sending u lots of well wishes.”
Just a few weeks ago, Ruth issued a health update as she shared: “Maggie had a little wart removed this morning under sedation so she’s feeling a bit sorry for herself this afternoon! Lots of TLC from Mummy required.” She added: “Thank you [St George’s Veterinary Centre] for looking after our precious girl.”
Maggie has even appeared on This Morning, with her having featured on the show when Ruth and Eamonn were hosting. Back in 2016, Maggie joined the former couple on the ITV show and ahead of her being brought into the studio, Ruth told viewers: “If we were to split, Eamonn and I, who would Maggie choose?” She ended up declaring that it was “equal,” though Eamonn noted he was approached first.
Last year, Ruth became emotional whilst discussing her companion during an episode on Loose Women. She was tearful whilst talking about the prospect of losing Maggie following a scene on Coronation Street in which Evelyn Plummer (played by Maureen Lipman ) said goodbye to her greyhound Cerberus.
After a clip from the scene was shown, Ruth said: “I can’t bear it.” She later commented: “You know that, hopefully, in the grand scheme of things, you know that that pet is going to go before you and that’s a heartbreaking thing.” Ruth went on to tearfully mention her own dog to her colleagues on the panel. She said: “I’m looking at Maggie who’s a bit grey now and she’s 13-ish, because she’s a rescue dog, and so watching that was like … that is gonna happen.”
