Eamonn Holmes

I can only comment and say how how I feel when I have met someone. I have met him and he was absolutely lovely to me. Ruth, not so, she was at the same event and came across as very snobby and condescending, only mixed with the people who mattered. My ex worked with him also, and said he was lovely.
Definitely his humour is an Northern Irish thing, and not really something English people would get.
Slightly patronising to say ‘something English people would get’ 😂 unless the jokes are nuanced about a particular place or area, humour translates. We get it.

27 years they were together 😞
Seems the split could be to do with Ruth still working for itv.
There's an article behind a paywall over at the Daily Heil. Apparently Eamon is 'furious'. Not sure what about ... that Ruth has the audacity to find him a chuntering old bore and give him the boot or that the Newpapers got wind of the story.

Best thing to happen now would be Ruth turning up at some event looking glamorous with Vanessa Feltz ex boyfriend. 😬

I find it very interesting that there are posts in this thread from 2022 saying it looks like they have split up.


I had the radio on this morning and they said Eamonn will make a statement about their split on his breakfast show tomorrow.

@Ndrangheta -
have you read the Sweetpea books by CJ Skuse? (Sweetpea, In Bloom and Dead Head)
I have a feeling you might like them.
I'm just reading the last one now. Sweetpea is quite the character. She kills people. And the things she says/thinks/gets annoyed by remind me of some of the things we say on Tattle.

Used copies are available quite cheap on ebay.
I think you might like the books.

LOL. WHY? Is that of importance to anyone? Absurd.

The presenter whose show I was listening to said they are going to need therapy just like when Take That split up. :ROFLMAO::D😂

For what it's worth, my opinion is Ruth is a grit yer teef and get on with it person and I think she's had enough of Eamonn's continual whining and moaning about his aches and pains.

PS
Check out the spoiler tag in my last post.

Eamon acts like he's about 90 and has the weight of the world on his shoulders. I bet she made an effort, but listening to his constant moaning and vaguely misogynistic schtick would try the patience of a saint.

I can't even imagine what he's going to say on Monday in his address to the nation (well, the 326 viewers of GB News). I imagine it's going to be some sort of pity party with some snide comments thrown-in for good measure.

Anyone under the impression that Ruth is a nice person only has to watch her on QVC. She thinks she is Coco Chanel. Rude, arrogant, bossy, controlling, condescending...I've run out now!

I have always had a soft spot for Eamonn. He says it like it is, and that goes a long way in my book. I dislike people who pretend they are something else, I can spot it a mile off.

I love his little quips about R on GBN. Never nasty, just things like she packs for holiday like she's Joan Collins. He has let on a few times that they lead separate lives.

And quite frankly, if Mr H refused to help me put my socks on, or look after me in any way, saying he hadn't signed up to be my carer - my sockless foot would be so fast up his rear he wouldn't know night from day!

Heartless, selfish, self-centred/obsessed wannbe with a lego helmut hairdo.

Ps her clothes are awful, made for big women like her, and vastly overpriced for a bit player on shopping telly!

Rant over.

You think Ruth is a Nazi spy like Coco? 😬 Yeah, her over-priced tat on QVC is pretty bad ... she makes out she's somehow designed it all herself. Fact of the matter is, her telly career was going nowhere untill she 'fell in love' with Eamon.

Ruth's 64 I only hope she left him because he's a bleep and not because it's the caring thing, he has a bad back she might have health problems in a couple of years it's not something you can guarantee.
Chronic pain does make people miserable though.

There are much worse people on telly, from what I see I think they're both OK.
Maybe it had just ran it's course.

I like both of them. I know for a fact the crew on This Morning loved them and always much preferred them over Philth Schofield and the coke head.

Her father died from Alzeimers.
 
I really really can not warm to Ruth.
Comes across as very superiour and smug.
I would say Eamonn is well rid of her.
She was very happy to ride on his coat tails when she was a junior on TV in the South West.
I have no time for her
Plus her clothes on QVC are utter rit!!

Eamonn has suffered with hip problems all his life with associated pain.
He has had a double hip replacement followed by a dislocated pelvis which resulted in the bulging discs in his back.
Then his back gave way and he had a bad fall in which he badly fractured his shoulder.
He still struggles on with daily physio trying to get some mobility back but will never be free of crutches, walking stick or painkillers.
It broke his heart that he couldn’t get to his mother’s funeral as he was in hospital, even worse that he wouldn’t be there to carry her coffin

Lots of fake leather biker jackets on her website.
No…..
Faux leather!
With lovely snakeskin lining.
And orange top stitching as it’s her favourite colour, her signature colour
Oh, and really nice contrasting zips….

my sister and I love watching her and laughing at her getting so ecstatic about her ”designs”

He's certainly been through the mill, and that's before the ITV and tax stuff. It's an awful lot for someone to try to cope with.

I do hope Ruth at least acknowledges to herself, even if she doesn't publicly, that were it not for her connection to Eamonn, she may never have had the opportunities in broadcasting that she's had. There is no doubt she is very good at what she does and she did deserve to make it, but so much of the industry is about "who you know". There are a lot of talented people who don't get opportunities they should because they don't know, or are not connected enough to, the "right" people.
