Eamonn and Ruth spend Christmas apart

Eamonn, who is set to join GB News next year, is spending Christmas away from wife Ruth.

As Ruth and Eamonn’s parents are elderly and, with Ruth’s mum in Surrey and Eamonn’s mum in Belfast, they can’t visit them both on the big day.

But the stars, who have been married for 25 years, have insisted that it’s not a problem.

Speaking to Woman and Home, Eamonn said: “We have this issue now, in that we’ve got a sea dividing us. We often have a dilemma of whether I go to Belfast, whether Ruth comes with me.

“But Ruth wants to be with her mum. My mother is 93 this year. It’s easier for us often to be apart.”

Ruth added: “Being apart for Christmas has never been a problem. I wouldn’t be going to Belfast this year, because I need to be with my mum. It’s about family for me.”
