Taking to Instagram on Sunday, Ruth shared a photo of her sunbathing as she said: “After a few days of R&R in the sunshine, batteries recharged ready for @loosewomen.”
Ruth Langsford on Loose Women after Eamonn Holmes split
Earlier this month, a source claimed that Ruth would address her split from Eamonn on Loose Women.
According to the source, Ruth knows that she can’t return to TV without addressing why she has been absent from screens since April.
The source spoke to the MailOnline about Ruth’s plans to open up.
“The presenters on Loose Women have a history of opening up about their marriage splits on air and it’s a very supportive environment. Ruth knows the viewers are heavily invested in her breakup so she will be addressing her and Eamonn for the first time on the show,” they said.

The source then continued.
“The audience has been there through the highs and the lows of her relationship, she has always been very open and honest and next week will be no different… she owes it to the viewers to say something,” they said.
“She will be surrounded by the people she’s closest to on the show and then will be drawing a line under it… she has no plans to do a big interview, this will be the one and only time she speaks,” they then added.
Ruth’s reps declined to comment when approached by ED! at the time.
