EAMONN Holmes’ female pal is reportedly “in love” with the ex This Morning star following his split from wife Ruth Langsford.

Eamonn and Ruth, both 64, shocked fans across the UK when it was confirmed last month they would be divorcing after 27 years together.

It was revealed that they had silently split months before the news broke.

Since then, GB News presenter Eamonn has been seen spending time with Katie Alexander, a 42-year-old relationship counsellor from Yorkshire.

The pair have been seen multiple times together over the past 12 months, with Katie helping Eamonn navigate his split with Ruth.

Now, a friend of Katie have claimed that she has developed feelings for Eamonn and is said to be “in love” with the TV presenter, reports the Mail Online.

Meanwhile, friends have pointed out to Katie that their friendship has only grown closer since Eamonn’s break-up.

“She is helping Eamonn through the tough times but doesn’t want to be seen as a marriage wrecker,” the source said, adding that his marriage had been over for a while,” according to The Mirror.

“She wants to help Eamonn with his situation and their friendship has grown over a period of time,” they added. “She feels she will be close to him for a long period and is in this for the long haul.”

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

Ruth and Eamonn have been reportedly separated for over a year, with the couple disappearing from each other’s social media for more than two years before their divorce announcement.

They had been together for 27 years, including 14 years of marriage.

Ruth has taken time away from Loose Women in order to deal with her heartbreak away from the public eye.
