Ruth Langsford takes brutal swipe at Eamonn Holmes as she shares update about their home
Ruth Langsford has made a brutal dig at her ex Eamonn Holmes following their split. The Loose Women presenter, 64, made a pointed jibe on live television.
It comes after recently dividing their possessions as he moved out of their £3.5million Surrey mansion. During a conversation about antiques, the panel discussed whether they "hang onto old bits of tat" or throw them away.
Ruth then cheekily commented: "I'm throwing out a lot of stuff out at the moment", which had the audience in stitches. It is the first time Ruth has referred to her marriage since she and Eamonn released a joint statement about their separation in May.

The statement read: “Ruth Langsford and Eamonn Holmes have confirmed their marriage is over and they are in the process of divorcing.”
Eamonn has found a new partner 22 years his junior. Katie Alexander, 42, accompanied him to a friend's wedding this weekend and they previously went on a luxury cruise together.
Ruth and Eamonn - who have a son Jack - began dating in 1996 and married in 2010. Eamonn vacated the home he shared with the Loose Women presenter and lost custody of their pet dog Maggie following the split.
Eamonn is now often seen using a wheelchair or mobility aids after suffering declining health. He underwent a double hip replacement in 2016 but had back surgery last year which has left him reliant on a wheelchair.
He has spoken out about suffering chronic pain. Then in January he injured his shoulder in a fall.
