Ruth Langsford praised by Coleen Nolan for ‘dignity’ amid Eamonn Holmes split

Ruth and Eamonn split this year

Coleen Nolan has become the latest Loose Women star to speak out on Ruth Langsford following her split from Eamonn Holmes.

Last week, Kaye Adams shared an update on Ruth. Eamonn and Ruth confirmed their split back in May, after 14 years of marriage. The pair also share a son, Jack, 22.

Since then, Eamonn has reportedly grown close to a relationship counsellor, Katie Alexander – who he allegedly first met on social media in 2015.

In a new interview, Coleen offered an update on Ruth. Speaking to Woman, Coleen said: “Ruth and I keep in touch all the time. She’s back at work now, which is great because I really missed her.

“I don’t want to say too much because it’s not my business to say Ruth’s life, but what I will say from a friend’s point of view is, I’ve never met anyone that has handled something with so much dignity and pride.

“She’s just such a lady, more of a lady then I’ll ever be, I would’ve spilled my guts right now – as I do, that’s my problem, I say too much. She’s been absolutely amazing, she really has.”

Coleen also said she’s given Ruth advice but “she doesn’t listen to me”.

What Kaye Adams said about Ruth

Elsewhere, Ruth’s pal Kaye addressed their split, revealing how Ruth is really doing amid her separation from Eamonn.

The Loose Women ladies were among the many famous faces that attended the National Television Awards on September 11.

As well as the telly favourites, the likes of Bobby Brazier, Alison Hammond and Holly Willoughby made an appearance.

And in an interview from the event, Loose Women stars Kaye and Nadia Sawalha were quizzed about how Ruth is doing, amid her breakup.

Ruth is ‘doing great’ amid Eamonn split

“She’s doing great,” Kaye revealed while Nadia added: “She looks amazing.”

Kaye then explained that the Loose ladies are always there for one another. She shared to The Sun: “We’re friends and that’s what friends do.”

“And we’ve all had highs and lows and we’ve all supported each other,” she added.

Earlier this month, reports claimed that Eamonn and ‘new girlfriend’ Katie jetted off on a break away. The move has reportedly left Loose Women star Ruth “wowed”.

Last week, reports claimed that Eamonn is even planning on moving in with Katie, and is said to be feeling “keen” to “move into a bigger place”.

A source told The Sun: “Katie’s assured him she’s in it for the long haul and they’re both settling down nicely. They’ve been spending so much time at his Kingston flat that they’re even looking to move in together permanently.

Eamonn doesn’t want to stay in his rented place as it’s too small, too expensive and, without air conditioning, gets very hot. It’s on the basement floor as well, with people looking in as they walk past all the time so isn’t private enough for them.”

The insider added: “With that in mind, they’re really keen to move into a bigger place in the country with lots of land. Katie will obviously be there to care for Eamonn as he grows older and thinks it’s best to do that somewhere without prying eyes.”

ED! contacted reps for Eamonn for comment at the time.
