Ruth Langsford appeared not to have a care in the world as she got ready for dinner with friends after claims her ex-husband Eamonn Holmes has grown close to a female friend.
The Loose Women star, 64, shared a clip of herself cooking a chicken dhansak Slimming World recipe in preparation for a night-in with friends on Instagram after details emerged about Eamonn’s new pal Katie Alexander.
It has been said that Katie has been supporting former This Morning star Eamonn, 64, since it was announced he was in the process of divorcing Ruth, with reports stating work commitments had resulted in the TV duo drifting in ‘different directions’, but they were determined to ‘keep things amicable’.
While Eamonn has said little about their split, bar thanking fans for support after returning to his TV role, it’s said he has been leaning on Katie after a ‘string of outings’ together – and she’s reportedly ‘in it for the long haul’.
Katie is a relationship counsellor, whose personal Instagram bio reads: ‘Kitchen dancer with a soul too glam to give a damn.’

Sources close to the divorcee and mother-of-three claimed to MailOnline that she’s ‘in love’ with Eamonn.
According to The Mirror, Eamonn and Katie first met on X in 2015 when she commented on one of his tweets, sparking a conversation.
While not much is known about Katie, her website says she takes a ‘holistic approach’ to counselling, focusing on the client.
It reads: ‘It is my job to try and help you make sense of what can sometimes be difficult to do alone.’

Earlier this month, it was claimed that Eamonn had been showering a close friend – who works as a relationship counsellor and who he’s known for several years – with gifts, leaving Ruth ‘angry’.
It was later said that Ruth was left extremely upset by the discovery of messages sent between her spouse and another woman on his laptop.
‘Ruth was completely taken by surprise when she saw the messages,’ a source told The Sun.
‘She had no idea what had been going on between them. She was devastated. Not only was she very upset but she was also angry.’
The gifts reportedly included tickets to a Beyoncé concert, a visit to Center Parcs and tickets to watch Manchester United at Old Trafford.

At the time, the counsellor was not said to be a reason for the marriage breakdown.
As well as his marriage breakdown, Eamonn has been dealing with ongoing health issues and was recently pictured using a walking frame and crutches in London.
His chronic pain started after he slipped three discs in 2021 and lost ‘full mobility’.
Eamonn then underwent spinal surgery the following year, which left him off air for almost four months as he recovered.
Metro.co.uk has approached Eamonn’s reps and Katie for comment.
