Ruth Langsford's return to the Loose Women panel sparked viewer concern as she made her ITV comeback amid news of Eamonn Holmes' holiday with his younger love interest.
GB News anchor Eamonn Holmes, 64, was snapped alongside his new partner Katie Alexander, 42, as they embarked on a cruise. The budding romance was in the spotlight as the pair were spotted at Barcelona port prepping for their luxurious voyage.
Posting on Instagram this Monday, Ruth Langsford announced her comeback to presenting Loose Women, showcasing unity and compassion towards her former spouse. The beloved television personality captured herself donning her wedding ring, hinting at support for her ex-husband as she prepared for a program meeting.
Spectators flooded X, previously known as Twitter, voicing their solidarity with Ruth. Fans expressed worry about her wellbeing given her latest television appearance.
One fan remarked: "Cannot be easy for Ruth when Eamonn features in most newspapers.", reports the Mirror.
Another voiced concern for Ruth's emotional state, suggesting recent photos of Eamonn had taken a toll: "You can tell that Ruth has been hurting from the pictures of Eamonn with her younger blondie, Ruth looks like she has been crying as her eyes looks puffed up," and excitedly continued: "I can't wait to see Ruth's new boyfriend #loosewomen."
Others offered kinder sentiments, with comments such as: "How Gorgeous did @RuthieeL look on the trailer on this morning. Adorable," and questions of care including: "#Loosewomen How are you doing today Ruth," accompanied by affectionate emojis.
Over the weekend, snapshots revealed Eamonn Holmes on a mobility scooter with his new partner Katie by his side as they set off on a cruise.
Ruth, who parted ways with Eamonn earlier this year, has been seen wearing her wedding ring on multiple occasions post-divorce announcement - and it was still on her finger on Monday. The ex-duo first crossed paths in 1997, thanks to a mutual friend's introduction, two years after Eamonn's separation from his first wife Gabrielle, with whom he shares three children.

Eamonn and Ruth celebrated the arrival of their son Jack in 2002 and were an item for over ten years before exchanging vows in 2010. The television personalities are slated to commence divorce proceedings later this year following a 14-year marriage.
Eamonn and his current girlfriend Katie are reportedly keen to "prove a point" with their budding romance, having confirmed their relationship status with their joint vacation.
An insider revealed: "Katie is very excited about the prospect of a trip away with Eamonn. He works hard at GB News and with his rehab so she is looking forward to them having some time on their own relaxing away from everything. But it was also be a clear sign to everyone that they are serious about their growing relationship."
