Ruth Langsford has teased the release of her new memoir, which is set to share ‘the ups, the downs and the lessons that have shaped her’ following her split from Eamonn Holmes
Ruth Langsford has given fans a tantalising glimpse of her forthcoming tell-all memoir, amidst her divorce from Eamonn Holmes.
The telly host, aged 65, is gearing up to reveal ‘the highs, the lows and the lessons that have moulded her’ in her soon-to-be-released book, Ruth Langsford Feeling Fabulous. Ruth and Eamonn, who were an item for 27 years and wedded for 14, called it quits in June 2024. Eamonn, now 66, swiftly moved on with relationship counsellor Katie Alexander, who is 22 years his junior.
The ex-couple and former co-stars have largely steered clear of discussing each other since their separation. Now, Ruth is set to open up about her ‘experiences’ in her new memoir, due out on 26th February.
She posted on Instagram on Friday: “NOT LONG NOW… Can’t believe that 2026 is the year I publish my first book! I’m very excited but also a little nervous…. These are stories about my life, the ups and the downs, the good and the not so good but everything that has made me the woman I am today.”
The TV star continued: “I share the experiences that have shaped me and the lessons I’ve learned along the way. Publication day is 26th February but you can pre order a copy now (and a limited number of signed copies are available too).” Ruth ended the caption with: “Click the link in my bio or check out my stories to get your copy. Hope you enjoy reading it as much as I’ve enjoyed writing it x”.
Loose Women’s Ruth has stayed single and recently disclosed that she’s been attending therapy sessions following the collapse of their marriage. She confided in woman&home: “I started counselling. My counsellor has probably seen us on TV, but she doesn’t know either of us so doesn’t get involved and doesn’t judge. She just listens and says, ‘Have you thought about this?’ or ‘Why did you feel like that?'” She added: “I think I know myself very well, so it has just been calming. It makes me question how I’m feeling.”
Ruth also shared her initial reluctance to seek help after her sister’s death, saying: “When my sister died, friends suggested counselling and I said, ‘I don’t [want] just [for someone] to tell me that I’m really sad,’ and I still feel like that.” She added: “The end of a very long relationship takes a lot of unravelling. Counselling helps you move on from it, to not be held back,” she explained. The TV presenter also hinted at the possibility of finding love again, stating: “I definitely see light in the future where I didn’t before.”
“Before, I saw darkness and was thinking, ‘Oh my God, what’s going to happen?’ but now the fear [has] gone, because what do you do? Do you crumble? Do you lay down and die? Oh no, not I. I will survive.”
It’s been suggested that Ruth had grown tired of caring for Eamonn following his hip operation, but it later came to light that he was seeing Katie – someone he’d met several years prior. There’s no implication that Eamonn was unfaithful to Ruth, who co-hosted ITV’s This Morning with him for ten years until their departure in 2021.
