The source added: “People expect her to be fazed by seeing Katie and Eamonn together, and although it was a shock at first, she’s not dwelling on it.”
The decline ofLangsford and Holmes’ marriage was reportedly due to Holmes becoming “more and more grumpy” as he coped with chronic pain from a fall, leading Langsford to feel “more like his carer than a wife”.

“Ruth is reaching national treasure status, and nothing cements that more than someone who has triumphed over adversity,” Nick explains. “She’ll be fine without Eamonn at her side.
“She’s a journalist, a presenter and a designer who has always held her own. It won’t be long before TV bosses come calling.” He also reckons she could appear on Celebs Go Dating.
Nick reveals how Ruth could follow in the footsteps of presenter Vanessa Feltz, also recently single, by taking part in celebrity dating shows. He added: “I can see Ruth potentially going on The First Dates Hotel and trusting Fred to find her a match, or she could even go on Celebs Go Dating like Vanessa.”
“Ruth’s very popular and has lots of celebrity friends and I can see her maybe even hosting her own dating show like Davina and Rylan do. I’m sure I’m A Celeb will want her and I think she could be the next Loose Woman to enter the Big Brother house next year too.”
