Eamonn Holmes and Anthea Turner finally ended their hurtful feud – but Ruth Langsford was left furious by their reconciliation.
The GB News star hosted GMTV with Anthea from 1994 to 1996, before the blonde bombshell dramatically quit the ITV morning show.
After alleged clashes with bosses over her “ambition and vanity”. She recalled it being a difficult time during her lengthy TV career.
During an interview on the Miranda Holder Weekly Fashion Podcast, Anthea revealed that it was a “sad” time following her departure from the ITV show.
And felt she had been failed by bosses by being painted as a “ruthless” woman. “Revenge is a dish best served sweet. Best of all, I’m still here. I thought it was sad.
I just wanted to do the job I enjoyed, but unfortunately the roles have to be labelled,” she explained.
“I was always asked if I was ambitious and, if I said yes, I was made out to be a ruthless person who would walk over anybody to get where I wanted. It would be said that I was hormonal, or I was stamping my feet,” Anthea added.
She also pointed out that if her former male colleagues had been labelled as “ambitious”, it would only further their careers. “You’d never hear anyone say that about Eamonn or Phillip Schofield. No, they’re just doing their job.
”While her career didn’t end following her exit from GMTV, Anthea hinted that she still held a grudge towards Eamonn, and suggested she had faced “injustice” during their public feud.
“I think as you get older, you look back and smile. It’s more like water off a duck’s back now,” she shared. “Nobody likes injustice, nobody wants to be misrepresented. It hurts, it really hurts.”
In 2005, Eamonn reached out to Anthea to end their bitter spat, and 13 years later, she was interviewed by her former colleague, as well as his wife Ruth Langsford, on This Morning.
However, viewers were stunned to see the tension between Ruth and Anthea as they discussed being friends with exes.
While the Blue Peter star joked that she and Eamonn were “telly husband and wife”, Ruth looked furious as she insisted that her relationship with her husband was real.
“You are an ex of mine and we’re on good terms, some people think we hate each other!” Eamonn said during the interview.
“And Ruth’s not bothered at all,” Anthea replied, prompting Ruth to turn frosty towards her husband’s ex.
“Well, we’re married, properly married,” as Anthea chimed in: “Ah but we were telly husband and wife.”
The atmosphere in the studio then turned tense as the trio began arguing over the possibility of being friends with an ex. “I think people are forgetting there’s the sexual relationship and the friendship.
If you were and are friends, there’s a problem and there’s a break, you can get back to the normality of friendship,” Anthea explained.
However, Ruth disagreed, and seemingly hinted at Eamonn’s friendly relationship with Anthea as she argued that staying in touch with an ex might mean “holding a torch” for the past.
“I think I’ve made that quite clear. They’re my exes. If I met them in a room I’d be perfectly friendly but I don’t want them in my life. That’s done thank you very much,” she fumed.
