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

uncomfortable doesn’t necessarily
mean unwatchable. I am so nosy that I would be hanging onto every uncomfortable exchange.

See I just don’t get why anyone would still be with a man who in your own words ‘kept HIS money to himself, and treated me like shit some days for about 3-4 years. He was so selfish and self centred and did fuckall in the house, whilst I did everything, and looked after the kids, and still worked 3 days a week.’

That’s crazy. I couldn’t forgive someone who treated the mother of his children like shit for three or four years even if the woman wasn’t me!

i would literally never regret leaving such a man.

Lots of people have reassessed their lives since Covid
inknow a few who called off weddings just after and split sadly
🕗it’s life
They will get through it

I've always liked him. I hope he gets his mobility back and comes home to Northern Ireland to retire.

'I was fierce hungry, so I was'

Holmes has some unpleasant history https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eamonn_Holmes#Controversies but there's a bit more.

I have vague memories of BBC day time show "Open Air" and telephone bit where viewer said something along the lines of it being a shit programme and Bob Wellings, as serious journalist, was debasing himself by appearing on it. Holmes got into a huff because of the implied criticism of himself not being serious presenter.

I also have an image burnt into my brain of Holmes in a silver bomber/puffer jacket on some Radio Ulster roadshow (?) and it not flattering the tubby chap to say the least.

I do hope he's made decent pension provision and will no longer appear on TV.

I’ve met him through a dog rescue charity (we both have similar rescue dogs , exact same age .. his doggo is Maggie and mines a little Maddie!) so of course im
going to sound biased but I thought and still think he’s lovely (we only stay in touch on social media but he always makes the time to send me back a lovely message) my family are from his neck of the woods and ive unfortunately got a very serious illness with no cure and he’s poorly too so like I said I am biased but I have worked with and met many people in the public eye and I can hand on heart say that I think he’s one of the good guys!

Ps. I know that what goes on behind closed doors can paint a different picture but we can only view people on how we take them and they treat us and others around us imo…

He didnt

At the risk of incurring your wrath, he did not.

RTT - it’s been made clear by many people ahead of you but in essence, he wanted to move to the mainland. Mrs Holmes The First did not. They were apart for many many years before he and Ruth got together.

In MN Land the second wife is always the OW

I didn’t know he was ill but after a quick google see he fell and hurt his back. Must have been one hell of a fall to dislocate his pelvis too!

Apologies, it’s not that at all - that was what I heard years ago and had always believed!

I have asked MN to remove my post

Who cares.

This!

I going to go against the majority and say I like him.
Well I liked him up until the Philip Schofield business, which was awful and even though I don’t like PS, at the time I just wished EH would shut up. Ruth must have been mortified/furious with him ranting about on like that about PS. I also thought it was a bit rich when he made jibes about her weight. A bit rich considering he clearly has had a weight issue in recent years. However despite living in chronic pain, he does look well at the moment.
I used to get the vibe that she thought she was better than him and she could be quite sharp with him. He seemed v supportive when she did Strictly.
Anyway none of us really know what happened so let’s hope his health improves and they are both ok in time.

What sort of things did he say about her that were so terrible, Ive seen them on various programmes and never noticed anything?

I always remember the day that the divvy washed his hair in vaseline around the time he worked for morning breakfast . It must have been so long ago now . The chump sat there half the morning with greasy hair with no fucking with what to do with it , what a chump .

Came on to say this. He's ill and she's off. Very suprised, I like both and and thought they were solid. I don't think he was ever unpleasant to her seriously, it all seemed in jest. I feel sorry for him as I know what it's like to live with pain. Ruth clearly doesn't intend to take her marriage vows seriously. Hopefully though, they will be happier apart.

Hey no need to apologise

I’m surprised at people saying they don’t like him. I think he’s nice. Maybe it’s the Belfast banter that people find annoying 🤷‍♀️ Shame the marriage has ended ☹️

Did not know who they were but she looks a very pretty lady. Hope she is very happy as people saying the man is unbearable.

Is he going to speak about it on his show tomorrow 😬

Apparently yes

I’ve never watched them. I don’t understand why their lives are anyone else’s businesses

They're both full of themselves. Both opinionated. I've no time for them. Their divorce isn't any different to anyone else's. Not exactly scoop of the day is it?
