Eamonn Holmes furious at estranged wife Ruth Langsford's 'petty' revenge
Ruth Langsford seems to have exacted revenge on her estranged husband Eamonn Holmes when asked if he could pop back into their marital home.
64-year-old Eamonn has planned a seven-night Mediterranean cruise with new girlfriend Katie Alexander. Eamonn then asked if he could return to the home he once shared with Ruth to collect holiday clothes.
After agreeing, it's thought Ruth didn't share she had removed the £2,000 stairlift in the property, making it more difficult for the presenter to climb the stairs of his former £3.5million home in Weybridge, Surrey, the Mirror reports.

At the time, Ruth was not at the property but a source told the Daily Mail: "Ruth has remained quiet and classy. Even when people bring up what Eamonn has been up to, she stays silent and just smiles. She thinks that is the best way. She has had a lot of support from her friends. But one thing she would see every day was the stairlift which Eamonn installed. "
They added: "Ruth doesn't need it. She's super-fit and healthy but she knew Eamonn probably would struggle when he had to go the house to get some bits he needed for the holiday. The bedrooms are upstairs and he needed to get to them. It might seem petty but Ruth's friends think it is absolutely hilarious as they think he has really taken her for a ride."
Eamonn and Katie, who is 22 years his junior, were spotted in the sunshine on the Spanish island of Ibiza. They were seen shopping and later that day, meeting with friends for dinner. At one point, Eamonn was seen in his wheelchair whilst lovingly placing his hand on Katie's bottom.
The source continued: "You can imagine how furious Eamonn was. He was probably expecting to be able to use the stairlift to get his stuff and quickly get out again and pack for his holiday. It has been humiliating for her to see Eamonn and Katie together – and that was before the cringe photos while they were on holiday. She must be thrilled that she did it after seeing those photos."
After 14 years of marriage, Eamonn and Ruth announced their separation earlier this year. The couple have a son named Jack, who is 22. Eamonn had the stairlift installed in the property in January 2023 to aid his mobility as he struggled with chronic back pain following a slipped disc and dislocated pelvis.
