Her ex Eamonn Holmes swiftly moved on after their 2024 split – but now Ruth Langsford has broken her silence over claims she’s secretly got back with a childhood sweetheart. Ruth Langsford, 65, has rubbished claims that have gone viral online about her reuniting with a childhood sweetheart, after splitting with the GB News presenter, after 14 years of marriage.

Getting things off her chest as she anchored an episode of Loose Women, the mum-of-one – who shares grown-up son Jack with Belfast-born Eamonn, slammed the “terrible” suggestions that have been lighting up social media.

With co-presenters GK Barry, Denise Welch, and Jane Moore, Ruth indicated a large image of a woman who appeared to be standing in a park next to a man as she introduced a segment about whether you might “hard launch” your relationship.

The full story of heartache, closure, and a love that came full circle was stated in the caption above.

Speaking to the panel about the image, a bemused-looking Ruth said: “Apparently I have a new man. According to this article, that’s all over Facebook and I’ve had friends ringing me up.

We were our childhood sweethearts when I was younger, but I didn’t, so it turns out that I met this man when I was a child, and now that things have changed, we are back together. Isn’t it Terrible, then?

Ruth criticized the reports of a “mystery man,” blaming the fact that the photo involved had been created by hand and that she is still very single.

Fellow panellist Jane Moore said: “Do you know what, we are laughing and that’s jokey, but people believe that right? And you see those things all the time. That to me is scary.”

Then Denise made the joke that “mind you, that guy on there… he was alright.” Ruth said, “He’s not bad, but I’m sure he’s,” before chuckling in agreement.

In a joint statement, Ruth and Eamonn announced their separation and planned divorce in “different directions,” but they were still friends in May 2024 after the couple wed in 2010 and wed in 2010.

Ruth Langsford and Eamonn Holmes have confirmed their marriage is over and that they are currently divorcing, according to a spokesperson at the time.

Eamonn left the family home after their shocking split, and in late 2024, she began dating Katie Alexander, a 23-year broadcaster’s junior.

The pair have often been seen on trips abroad and at showbiz events, but have been hit by rumours in recent times that their romance has come ‘under strain’. Mum of one Katie defiantly responded by reportedly telling close friends: “It’s the two of us.. Always and forever.”

Ruth had previously been linked to no one new since splitting up with Eamonn, though.

Conor Maynard is still Charlotte Chilton’s father, despite the singer having two DNA tests to show he is not his father, according to Charlotte Chilton, the star of the Transformers.

Charlotte Chilton, star of The Traitors, has continued to insist that Conor Maynard is the father of her baby. It comes after two DNA tests said he was not the father, and after the musician took to social media to blast the TV personality and suggest that another Traitors star is the true father.

Charlotte gave birth to Penelope almost two years ago. Conor insisted that he wasn’t his father, while she claimed otherwise. Conor and Charlotte engaged in a heated argument, which involved taking a DNA test that revealed he was not the father and then taking another with the same result at Charlotte’s request.

Conor Maynard is the only person who can be my daughter’s father, Charlotte said in a recent interview when she broke down in tears.

Conor then appeared to mock Charlotte’s interview, by posting a video in which he said: “Here’s an invisible tissue for your invisible tears.” He captioned the video with: “My response to the most recent news…” He then played a new song, in which he tells the subject of the song to “please shut up”.

Later, he claimed once more that another Traitors star may be Penelope’s father, which she claimed is impossible because they didn’t get together.

Conor is the “only person” her daughter could have been, according to Charlotte, who she “categorically knows.” She continued to explain the DNA tests by stating that she had conducted extensive research and that she had suggested a medical complication called “chimerism” was to blame.

In this situation, two distinct sets of DNA are present within a single person as one twin is absorbed by the other in the womb. Paternity tests can produce false negative results, but they frequently reveal a connection between the child and the father.

Actress and model Nicola Peltz has gushed over her own family as she issued another snub to her in-laws following her husband Brooklyn’s dad David’s knighthood

View 3 Images

Nicola Peltz has issued another blow to her famous in-laws as she continues to distance herself from her husband Brooklyn’s family. The actress and Brooklyn were once tight knit with the Beckham clan, having attended countless family events and public appearances together.

However, rumours of a rift swirled earlier this year when Brooklyn and Nicola skipped his dad David Beckham’s 50th birthday celebrations. They have not been seen with David and Victoria since Christmas last year and have stopped interacting with each other on social media.

In a tough blow for the Beckhams, Brooklyn and Nicola renewed their vows this summer with just her family present. Now, the couple have dealt another swipe as they failed to celebrate David’s long awaited knighthood. The football icon was officially made a Sir by King Charles on Tuesday in a ceremony at Windsor Castle. He celebrated with Victoria as well as their children Romeo, Cruz and Harper.

Sadly, Brooklyn was the only one missing from the once in a lifetime moment, which has done little to quash the feud rumours. Hours after David’s celebration, Nicola returned to social media where she gushed over her own family, but offered no congratulations over the honour.

She shared a photo of a bunch of flowers sent to her by her sister Brittany. Alongside the post, Nicola said: “Omg @brittanyleahpeltz thank you so so so much these are breathtaking.”

Brooklyn has also failed to acknowledge his dad’s achievement on social media, while brothers Romeo and Cruz shared their own sweet tributes. Model Romeo shared photos from the big day as he wrote: “No one deserves this more than you, love you so much xxx. Congrats Sir dad @davidbeckham.”

Reports have claimed Nicola is still ‘not ready’ to make peace with her in-laws, despite David attempting to reach out to her and Brooklyn since June. Victoria is also said to be trying to make peace with her son and his wife.

However, all attempts at a truce have fallen flat so far. “Nicola’s not ready to make nice,” the source revealed. It has been claimed the fallout first stemmed from Nicola and Brooklyn’s 2022 wedding.

Nicola allegedly refused to wear a wedding gown designed by her mother-in-law Victoria. The actress-model told Variety in 2022 that she wanted Victoria to design her bridal gown, but months before her big day, Victoria realised ‘her atelier couldn’t do it.’

She decided to walk down the aisle in a Valentino couture dress instead. “She didn’t say you can’t wear it; I didn’t say I didn’t want to wear it. That’s where it started, and then they ran with that,” Nicola said of the feud origin.

Brooklyn has continued to stand by his wife amid the reports and issued a defiant message earlier this year. Posting a video of him and Nicola riding on a motorbike through Los Angeles, he gushed: “My whole world x I will love you forever x I always choose you baby x you’re the most amazing person I know xx me and you forever baby.”

In April 2025, Maxine departed the village in a taxi after making plans to escape the country alongside her daughter, Minnie.

Away from the small screen, Nikki is dating former Emmerdale star Anthony Quinlan, who played Peter Barton on the ITV soap between 2013 and 2020.

According to reports, the pair reportedly began to straddle each other in 2021, and it seems like they are on the verge of a strong relationship.

Speaking to Closer Magazine, Nikki paid a loving tribute to Anthony, crediting him for boosting her confidence and passion for fitness as she posed in a bikini.

She cited Anthony’s positive influence as evidenced by his dedication to nutrition and health, and how he has taught her a lot about strength training.

In her words, “Keeping fit was never really a priority in my twenties or thirties; now I’m training three times a week and can’t get enough of walking.”

Physically and mentally, it is “so underappreciated.” Even if it means circling my home to get the last 10,000 steps in, I aim for 10,000. The fact that my partner is very fit, of course, helps.

Anthony and Nikki have two careers, one of which is acting, Boxed Off, and Boxed Off, which he has developed with her to help her “get in the best shape.”

She continued, “Anthony really boosts my confidence and strengthens me in every way.”

We are incredibly happy, complement each other, make a good team, and like him, marvel. He simply makes me feel happy, secure, and loved.

In Heartbeat, Nikki played Dawn Bellamy between 2008 and 2009, and in Casualty, she also took the role of Amy Harris.

Billy Redden, with his distinctive haunted expression, became one of the most recognisable faces in Hollywood after starring in 1972 movie Deliverance, but his life went in a different direction

At 15, Billy Redden might have expected a career on the silver screen after appearing in Oscar-nominated movie Deliverance.

But despite being one of the most unmistakable faces in Hollywood for a brief period in the 1970s, his life went in a wholly different direction, a far cry from the bright lights of Tinsel Town.

Now 69, he’s unrecognisable after “struggling really hard to make ends meet”.

Deliverance, a disturbing thriller directed by Brit John Boorman, was a smash hit when it came out in 1972. It was nominated for three Oscars – Best Picture, Best Director and Best Editing.

Young Billy’s appearance in the film was brief, but arguably the most memorable.

He was hand-picked by Boorman, who was scouting local schoolchildren in Georgia, US, for the iconic Duelling Banjos scene. He wasn’t a trained actor nor could he play the banjo, but Boorman thought his haunted expression made him perfect for the role.

A musician hid behind him to create the illusion, but Billy’s awkward stare made him a movie star overnight. In the film, he played “backwoods mountain boy” Lonnie, who gets into a musical duel with a businessman on a canoe trip.

Deliverance raked in millions and became a timeless classic, but Billy saw little of the profits. Paid only a modest fee for his work, he returned to small-town life once the cameras stopped rolling.

Initially, he tried to capitalise on the fame and organised tourist trips down the Chattooga River, which was featured in the film. He later worked a string of jobs, including store associate at Walmart, dishwasher and cafe hand.

Billy also appeared in “banjo man” in a number of other movies, including Outrage: Born in Terror, Blue Collar TV, and Blastfighter, a 2003 motion picture.

Billy discussed his financial difficulties in the 2012 documentary, The Deliverance of Rabun County.

He stated to the producers, “I’d like to receive all the money I believed I’d make from this movie.” I wouldn’t currently be employed by Walmart. And I’m having a lot of trouble making ends meet.

He continued, “We’re not a bad people up here; we’re a loving people,” and defended the county’s reputation. A decent town is located in Rabun County. There isn’t much crime happening, and it’s actually peaceful. Basically, everyone and everyone get along.

Close friend Kip Ramey claims Billy has “mounting medical bills” and lacks social security support and has since retired for several years.

In 2023, he started a GoFundMe page to support the Hollywood legend and raised tens of thousands of dollars, the Spokesman.com reported.
