In an emotional and candid revelation, Loose Women panellist Ruth Langsford has broken her social media silence for the first time since announcing her separation from television presenter husband Eamonn Holmes.
The 64-year-old ITV star took to Instagram to share a heartfelt message with her followers, marking a significant moment in her personal journey following the couple's shock split after 14 years of marriage.
Social Media Return Speaks Volumes
Ruth's carefully chosen words resonated deeply with fans as she posted for the first time since the separation news became public. "Hello everyone... Hope you're all having a good week. Thank you for your kind messages and support. It means a lot," she wrote alongside a promotional clip for QVC.
The simple yet powerful message immediately drew an outpouring of support from her loyal fanbase, with thousands flooding the comments section with messages of encouragement and love during what is undoubtedly a difficult period.
A Television Partnership That Captured Hearts
For years, Ruth and Eamonn formed one of British television's most beloved presenting duos, regularly appearing together on shows including This Morning and their own Friday morning programme. Their on-screen chemistry and genuine warmth made them household favourites, with viewers often feeling like they were watching close friends rather than television personalities.
The couple, who tied the knot in 2010 after 13 years together, have one son named Jack, who now finds himself at the centre of his parents' separation.
Support Floods In From Co-Stars and Fans
Fellow Loose Women panellists and television colleagues have remained notably quiet about the split publicly, though sources suggest Ruth has been surrounded by support from her ITV family behind the scenes.
The presenter's decision to return to work and social media demonstrates her resilience and professionalism, qualities that have endeared her to audiences throughout her decades-long career in broadcasting.
As Ruth navigates this new chapter in her life, fans continue to send their best wishes, hoping that time and the support of loved ones will help heal the wounds of this very public separation.
