Eamon Holmes and Ruth Langsford divorcing

[PrincessHoneysuckle]

Was v surprised.
He's a bit of a nob but I thought they looked like a happy couple

I don't know but I could be wrong but I always felt her public persona was not her idea . I guess we will find out . I suppose we could find out ..

Quite Prim and proper maybe that was for his benefit. There was a reel on instagram last year of her at a party with Rylan and she was really going for it and having a great time by the looks of it.

Him following scantily clad women on social media is grim though. He has kids - where's the dignity?

I can fully see why Ruth would be less than thrilled at the idea of moving to Belfast. No woman is gonna be keen if her dh says "hey, let's move to where my ex wife lives. Even though your family and friends and job are not there, and my parents only grudgingly accept you cos the like my ex wife more" If he's been banging on for years about Belfast being home and not the actual place there he chose to live and work and remarry and have another kid, he should have stayed there.
This seems to me to be a situation entirely of his own making.

suspect he didn’t realise people would know. Now he’s done it he will own t for awhile and then unfollow I guess. School boy error. Although I guess he’s single so so what, but I also thought it was a bit grim and thought great now we all know what turns Eamon on. And how many times did poor Ruth have to get the stockings out, 😂

Who is he following on social media? Famous women or just random women in stockings 😬

Seems as though "poor sick" Eamon has been "consoled" and also seen out and about with a woman 20 years younger than his wife

🤣🤣🤣

Seems like some on this thread want to do the same.... Absolute clowns.

Maybe the ones criticising her for leaving a sick man will STFU now

@JenniferBooth yes, I saw that story and thought of all the bitching abut RL supposedly leaving him because he was ill.

What's that they say on Mumsnet ?

"How you get them is how you lose them"

Over on the Relationships board its LTB when a "D" H is caught messaging other women. So why the hate for Ruth here.

Him and his first wife were already separated She didnt want to move out of Ireland. Repeat repeat repeat

He didn’t cheat on his ex wife with Ruth.

Can you imagine being a relationship counsellor and it being all over the papers that you've been on outings with and receiving gifts from, a married man, seemingly without his wife's knowledge?
That will do business a world of good!

A bloody relationship counsellor!
That would be hilarious if it wasn't so devastating for Ruth.

It's good that this has come out though - EH shouldn't be lapping up sympathy that he's been abandoned by his wife due to his ill health, if the truth is his wife has caught him behaving inappropriately with another woman.
He was apparently well enough to take her to a Beyoncé concert etc.

Yes Apparently Ruth was very upset at the accusation that it was because she didnt want to deal with his health problems.

Goes to show that yet again society is always ready to think the worst of , and blame the woman

They do say that….however, that isn’t relevant in this case.

Amanda Platell was particularly viscious towards Ruth in her column, maybe she'd like to apologise, I won't hold my breath.

Ruth could sue It would help pay for her side of the divorce

I was born in England with Irish parents, one from the Belfast area, I grew up in a predominantly Irish community and Ireland was and is always referred to as home. Like lots of my friends I went "home" in the summer holidays when we'd stay with family. I don't know if that is an Irish thing but referring to Ireland as home doesn't seem a big issue to me.

It doesn't mean she has to want to live there but if him referring to Belfast as home was an issue that seems really odd to me.

I thought it said he'd treated her to the Beyonce concert, did he actually go as well or just buy her a ticket?

I assumed he went as well, although I find it hard to picture EH there tbh.

Re Belfast being home. I think given he chose to leave, benefited career wise from doing so, married an English girl, had a house and a child with her, it would be a bit galling for her that he never considers the place where they lived together as home. I mean, people feel he they feel, but you've got t be a bit tactful about it - apparently he said here is just where he worked. If you were his wife, that would sting.

I call NI home despite doing exactly as EH did 25 years ago.

It does bug my youngest (11) as anytime I say we're going home, he corrects me to tell me I am home. I now refer to NI as 'home home' when speaking to my family & simply home to everyone else.

It does depend on context though as quite clearly I head home from a night out / work etc and that's where I live rather than going back to NI.

So to me, it seems a very odd / trivial thing for RL to get upset about.

Because of all of this, I asked my English DH how he felt with how I refer to home & he said it didn't bother him. We do have a house in NI that we go to regularly for holidays etc & he likes NI too & is always happy to go, so maybe that makes a difference.
