Barely 5 months in the past, Eamonn Holmes was enjoying the sufferer, saying he was devastated and blindsided after his spouse Ruth Langsford introduced they have been divorcing. And but in the previous few days he’s been snapped on a romantic break within the Med along with his new a lot youthful lover Katie Alexander, in a single shot tenderly patting her backside as they head out for an evening in Ibiza.
In a few of the footage of them within the sunshine, Katie is sporting a £315, feathered, black mini-dress, carrying an £850 Loewe purse and tottering about in towering £655 Christian Louboutin stilettos. All whereas these claims that he was the injured social gathering after he and Ruth cut up are nonetheless so recent within the reminiscence.
I’m sorry, Eamonn, however the sport’s up. I’m afraid these footage will value you expensive – not least within the eyes of the viewing public.

Eamonn remains to be married, and is seen sporting his wedding ceremony ring
How can a person can go at such pace from a 27-year loving relationship to parading a lady half his age round Ibiza?
It takes a specific sort of cruelty on portly Eamonn’s half to flaunt his younger lover when he is aware of his spouse Ruth, additionally a high-profile celeb, will see every image.
Eamonn isn’t but divorced. He’s nonetheless married. Simply as he was when the curvaceous blonde Yorkshire divorcee mum-of-three contacted him on-line in 2015, swooning over him saying he was her George Clooney.
He was married when he reportedly started assembly up with Katie recurrently after her personal marriage resulted in 2022. Married when she allegedly stayed at a Surrey lodge only a handy ten minutes away from the place Eamonn and Ruth lived in Weybridge.
And Ruth, understandably, has had sufficient. At the same time as Eamonn was triumphantly parading his paramour round Ibiza, with one good friend saying gushingly ‘Katie resides her dream’, we learnt that Ruth has enlisted one of the vital ferocious divorce attorneys within the nation, Catherine Costley.
Eamonn and Katie’s dream would possibly simply flip right into a nightmare when Ms Costley will get going.
One good friend saying gushingly stated that ‘Katie resides her dream’
The £400-an-hour divorce lawyer is famend as ‘fierce and methodical’, She discovered her abilities on the knee of her former boss and mentor Baroness Shackleton who acted for the-then Prince Charles in his divorce towards Diana and is nicknamed Metal Magnolia for the appeal and dedication with which she pursues her quarry.
So ruthlessly efficient was she when representing Sir Paul McCartney in his divorce from Heather Mills, his spouse of 4 years, that Mills poured a glass of water over Shackleton’s head in fury after leaving court docket with a £24million settlement as an alternative of the £125million she was looking for.
There’s little doubt that Ruth’s appointment of Ms Costley, one of many high 5 divorce attorneys within the nation, will rain like a chilly bathe over Eamonn’s shameless love parade.
Which is nothing lower than he deserves. If he had performed this affair with some sort of dignity and respect for Ruth, stored it quiet and beneath the media radar, and been sincere together with her that he’d fallen in love with another person, it might have been a quiet divorce settled between two individuals who had been married for 13 years and raised a son collectively.
However given his latest behaviour, his self-pitying outbursts after they cut up have a hole ring.
As for telly tubby Eamonn’s claims he hoped Ruth and he might stay associates, there’s fats probability of that. I can’t even start to think about Ruth’s rage – and it’ll quickly have Eamonn quaking in his electrical wheelchair.

On behalf of betrayed ladies in all places, I hope Ruth Langsford takes her duplicitous husband to the cleaners
Ms Costley advises ladies looking for or anticipating a divorce that they’ve to guard themselves and their funds, and may have a secret fund of their very own cash in case they should exit a relationship shortly.
‘My predominant piece of recommendation,’ she says, ‘can be that everybody ought to have a “go bag”. It doesn’t matter how a lot or how little cash you could have, ensure you at all times [have]… financial savings of your individual’.
Which provides one other layer of intrigue to the Holmes v Langsford divorce.
Did Ruth see it coming? Was she retaining her powder dry earlier than making the shock announcement of their cut up till she’d bought her ‘go bag’ in place?
I solely ask as figures launched in February this yr for her firm Hey Ho Ltd reveal she made £2.3million final yr by way of her work on TV together with Free Girls and her profitable purchasing channel present, Ruth Langsford Style on QVC.
Whereas Eamonn’s wage from GB Information is regarded as round £1million, there most likely aren’t much more large bucks payday TV provides on the market for him.
It’s reported that Eamonn is so besotted he has lavished Katie and her youngsters with costly items, which could clarify the £4,200 Alhambra bracelet she was sporting in these Ibiza snaps. In any case, on her modest revenue as a relationship counsellor specialising in ‘affairs and betrayals’ at £45 for a 50-minute session, she most likely isn’t paying. Now she’s driving a £50,000 Mercedes.
The purpose is that Eamonn is aware of what he’s doing, displaying off his new love on this approach. He has been a TV star for many years. He is aware of about publicity. After Ruth chucked him out, he knew he would an individual of curiosity wherever he went.
He effectively knew when he embarked with Katie on his luxurious cruise on the Scarlet Girl (sure, actually!) that each transfer he made can be snapped by fellow cruisers and that the couple can be photographed collectively in public locations.
My query is how might he try this to Ruth, who stood by him for years although his fixed sicknesses: a double hip alternative, again surgical procedure, then a fall down the steps of the house they shared after which he couldn’t even stroll.
On behalf of betrayed ladies in all places, I hope Ruth takes her duplicitous husband to the cleaners. And that by way of the talents of her fearsome divorce lawyer she leaves him excessive and dry.
And let’s see then how irresistible the adoring Katie finds her financially diminished, crocked 64-year-old boyfriend.
