Presenter has been on an extended break from the show since April
Ruth Langsford is set to break her silence on her split from husband Eamonn Holmes as she returns to ITV’s Loose Women next week.
The presenter, 64, has been on an extended break from the ITV show following news of her divorce from Holmes, who she was married to for 14 years.
According to sources who spoke to The Mail, Langsford feels she “owes” viewers an explanation.
Sources said she plans to address the split on air, surrounded by her close friends and co-stars on the panel. They said she feels she can’t return to TV without addressing why she has been absent since April.
A TV insider reportedly said: “The presenters on Loose Women have a history of opening up about their marriage splits on air and it’s a very supportive environment.
“Ruth knows the viewers are heavily invested in her breakup so she will be addressing her and Eamonn for the first time on the show.
“The audience has been there through the highs and the lows of her relationship, she has always been very open and honest and next week will be no different… she owes it to the viewers to say something.
“She will be surrounded by the people she’s closest to on the show and then will be drawing a line under it… she has no plans to do a big interview, this will be the one and only time she speaks.”
The Independent has contacted ITV for comment.
Last week, Holmes was forced to leave his GB News programme early due to poor health.
His sudden exit followed just days after the broadcaster told The Mirror that he felt as though he was living on “borrowed time” because his father had died at the age of 65 from a heart attack in 1991.
The veteran broadcaster is currently suffering from chronic back pain, and required a walker with a seat at the recent TRIC Awards, stating that he considered pulling out of the event due to the severe discomfort.
Ruth Langsford is finally set to break her silence on her split from husband Eamonn Holmes as she makes her return to ITV’s Loose Women next week. Everyone has been eagerly awaiting her comeback after an extended break since April.
Langsford and Holmes, who are both 64 years old, had been in a long-term relationship since 1996. They were fan favorites as they co-presented This Morning from 2006 until they were replaced in 2020 by Alison Hammond and Dermot O’Leary. The news of their divorce shook many viewers, but Langsford is ready to address it head-on.
According to sources close to Langsford, she feels a sense of responsibility to explain the situation to the loyal viewers who have supported her throughout the years. She plans to have an open and honest discussion about the split on air, surrounded by her supportive friends and co-stars on the panel.
The TV insider revealed, “The presenters on Loose Women have a tradition of sharing their personal struggles on air, and Ruth is no exception. She understands the audience’s curiosity and wants to give them the closure they deserve. This will be her only public statement about the breakup.”
In the midst of Langsford’s return, Eamonn Holmes has been facing his own health challenges. He had to leave his GB News show early due to chronic back pain, which has been causing him significant discomfort. Despite his health issues, Holmes remains optimistic and determined to push through.
As fans eagerly anticipate Ruth Langsford’s return to the screen, they can rest assured that she will address the situation with grace and honesty. Stay tuned for her heartfelt message next week on Loose Women.
