Ruth Langsford to return to Loose Women following Eamonn Holmes split

Ruth Langsford will be back on TV screens tomorrow as she returns to Loose Women following two months off due to her split from husband Eamonn Holmes. She is expected to be joined on the show by Coleen Nolan, Brenda Edwards and Janet Street-Porter, but fans shouldn’t ‘expect any big news’ as she intends to keep the divorce private.

Friends say she wants it to be a normal show and is keen to get back to work, so won’t be discussing the split. Sources close to Ruth, 64, say she has been left hurt and upset over her marriage breakdown, the Mirror reports.
