Eamonn Holmes ‘seething’ that Ruth Langsford flew to I’m A Celeb

Eamonn Holmes ‘furious’ over Ruth Langsford joining I’m A Celeb

Eamonn Holmes is reportedly feeling furious and hurt over his ex-wife Ruth Langsford’s decision to participate in I’m A Celebrity, according to a close source. Ruth, 64, was seen arriving in Australia last week to take part in the Unpacked spin-off show. However, Eamonn, 65, was said to be far from pleased upon learning about Ruth’s sudden change of heart about flying. A source revealed, “Eamonn is seething about Ruth going to the jungle as she never wanted to go away with him. She told him she hated flying! He’d always dreamed of taking her on some special trips, places they could explore and enjoy together, but every time he suggested it, she shot the idea down.”

The source continued, “Now, all of a sudden, she’s more than happy to hop on a plane for 22 hours each way to the other side of the world! It’s left him feeling completely baffled and a bit hurt, to be honest. It’s rubbed him up the wrong way because it feels like she’s willing to do it for the show but not for him.”

Ruth Langsford, a colleague of Jane Moore and a member of the Loose Women panel, was flown to Australia by ITV for the show. While in Australia, Ruth praised Jane for her bravery in the challenges and commented on This Morning’s upcoming changes. Ruth and Eamonn confirmed their split last May after being together for 14 years. Eamonn, who has faced health issues and recently underwent double hip replacement surgery, expressed his eagerness to put the tough year behind him.

At the 2024 TRIC Christmas lunch, Eamonn was seen with his new girlfriend, Katie Alexander. As Ruth embarks on a new adventure in the jungle, Eamonn focuses on his health and his evolving personal life. The Mirror has reached out to Eamonn’s representatives for any further comments on the matter.

My Insights:
It is not uncommon for former partners to feel a mix of emotions when one of them embarks on a new journey or adventure. In this case, Eamonn’s reported feelings of hurt and confusion over Ruth’s decision to join I’m A Celeb highlight the complexities of post-relationship dynamics. With Ruth pursuing new opportunities and Eamonn focusing on his health and personal life, it is a reminder of the evolving nature of relationships and the importance of self-care during times of transition. Communication and understanding remain key in navigating such situations.
