Ruth Langsford exclaims ‘danger’ as she seeks comfort in chocolate treats as ex Eamonn Holmes takes new girlfriend away
RUTH Langsford has turned to chocolate treats for comfort as ex Eamonn Holmes takes his new girlfriend on a getaway.
The GB News presenter, 64, was spotted at Barcelona airport where he whisked his younger lover, 42, away for some late summer sunshine.
And now Ruth has taken to her Instagram Stories on Sunday and shared a snap of some sweet chocolate treats.
She captioned the post: “Uh oh,” with a big red “danger” sticker.
This was followed by a mirror selfie, where Ruth looked effortlessly chic in a pair of jeans and a green lightweight parka.
The post comes just hours after ex Eamonn was seen at the Spanish airport with his new girlfriend Katie Alexander before their Mediterranean cruise.
Eamonn split from his Loose Women host wife Ruth Langsford in May after she discovered messages from another woman on a laptop.
The romantic holiday has left Ruth and her close friends gobsmacked, sources told us.
The source said: “The cruise is just the latest proof of their closeness.
“Katie has been telling pals she and Eamonn are going to be for keeps — and now everyone is starting to believe her.
“Eamonn’s zest for her — the latest being this all-expenses-paid trip — has wowed Ruth and pals. He has found a new lease of life for sure. Everyone is amazed.”
Just days after Eamonn moved out of their home earlier this year, he was staying in a bachelor pad with divorced mum-of-three Katie frequently visiting.
Eamonn and relationship counsellor Katie have already taken a trip together to his native Belfast.
Katie also sparked wedding rumours when she was seen wearing a ring while running errands near his home in Kingston upon Thames, South West London.
