Ruth Langsford, the star of This Morning, is reportedly enjoying “endless” nights out and cocktails with her celebrity friends Vanessa Feltz and Linda Robson. Ruth separated from her ex-husband Eamonn Holmes last year after a 14-year marriage, and Eamonn has since started dating Katie Alexander.
Ruth, who will turn 65 in March, has been seen having fun with friends several times, including a recent night out with BBC Radio 2’s Rylan Clark. Vanessa, who ended her engagement to Ben Ofoedu in 2023, revealed plans for more nights out with Ruth in an interview with Woman’s Own magazine, saying: “We’re going to have hundreds [of nights out].
“Endless numbers of them. Ruth is constantly sending me a cocktail this, a cocktail that – we’re up for the whole thing.”
Both Vanessa and Linda ended their relationships in 2023, with Vanessa discovering Ben’s alleged infidelity and Linda deciding to end her 33-year marriage to Mark Dunford.
A source close to Ruth said she is “trying to get on with life and be around good friends” following her split from Eamonn. Coleen Nolan, a fellow Loose Women star, praised Ruth’s handling of the divorce, saying: “Ruth is one of my best friends. Me and Ruth are always texting and phoning, and if the show ended tomorrow, I know we’d still be friends,” reports Lancs Live.
Discussing how Ruth has been coping with her divorce, Coleen said: “She’s been amazing. I’m not one to give advice, but I’ve just been there when she’s wanted to vent or wanted to just talk about it. I really admire her, she’s been so classy through the whole thing and just got on with it.”
Coleen also mentioned that Ruth has experienced a “glow-up” since the separation. The ITV presenter has embraced a new focus on exercise and nutrition as she navigates life as a single woman.
Personal trainer Laurel Alper praised Ruth in an interview with Woman Magazine, noting: “Ruth looks like she’s slimmed down from a size 16 to 14. She’s probably lost about 1st 7lb – you can really see she’s lost weight across her middle, thighs and face.”
