Ruth Langsford 'shocked and let down over third woman' after Eamonn Holmes split

Ruth Langsford was reportedly left in "absolute shock" after learning that her ex-husband, Eamonn Holmes, has been seeking comfort from a "third woman" following their split.

The couple, who co-hosted ITV's This Morning for over a decade, announced their divorce in May after fourteen years of marriage. Eamonn admitted at the TRIC Awards, his first public appearance since the split, that he was "not okay" and it wasn't "a good time at all" for him.

Bella Magazine reports that Eamonn has found solace with relationship counsellor Katie Alexander, who has allegedly visited his South London flat on several occasions. A source told the Mirror: "She is helping Eamonn through the tough times."

The source added: "The friendship has grown in recent months but Eamonn's marriage has been over for some time." It's also reported that Eamonn has been receiving extra support from family friend and facialist, Lisa Harris.

However, it's GB News presenter Hayley Sparkes, his third pillar of support, that has reportedly shocked Ruth the most. While there's no suggestion of any romantic involvement between Eamonn and Hayley, they were seen together on social media, according to the Express. A source told the publication: "Ruth is in absolute shock."

"It all feels never ending," they claimed. The source also suggested that Ruth feels "let down" by Eamonn's actions post-split. The insider says the friendliness Eamonn is showing to other women, particularly so soon after their separation, has given her "pause for thought."
