Kay told us: “She’s doing great,” while Nadia added: “She looks amazing.”
Ask about the sisterhood they all have, Kay said: “We’re friends and that’s what friends do.
“And we’ve all had highs and lows and we’ve all supported each other.”
Ruth and Eamonn shocked the nation in May when they revealed they had split up after 14 years of marriage.
Eamonn, 64, recently jetted off to Spain with his new lady Katie Alexander, 42, on Sunday, as they headed on a cruise.
The Sun revealed in May that Eamonn had left the marital home after Ruth, 64, found messages between him and another woman on a laptop.
Days later he was holed up in a bachelor pad — with divorced mum-of-three Katie a regular visitor.
The GB News breakfast host became close to Katie while still living with Ruth, taking her and her family to a safari park in February and sharing snaps on social media.
He also treated her to a stay at Center Parcs last year and gave her and her daughter tickets to a Beyoncé gig.
The pair met via Twitter in 2015 when her comment on a post sparked a conversation.

Eamonn, who had a double hip replacement in 2016, had back surgery last year and broke his shoulder in a fall in January.

A source told Mail Online that Eamonn’s public holiday with his new girlfriend has left Ruth “shocked”.
The insider told the publication: “Ruth is shocked by how open Eamonn is being about his relationship, after all they both still have their wedding rings on.
“Neither of them want to be the first to take it off because they don’t want to look like they’re to blame for the split.”
Ruth and Eamonn – who share son Jack – first got together in 1996 and tied the knot in 2010.
NTAs was no big surprise, says our telly expert
COMMENT BY ROD MCPHEE
THE only surprise at tonight’s National Television Awards was that there were virtually no surprises.
Ant and Dec took home Presenter Award for the millionth time, Strictly bagged the Talent Show gong and I’m A Celebrity triumphed in the Entertainment category.
Kate Garraway scooping the authored documentary award for Derek’s Story was entirely deserved, but not a total shock either as she’d already done the same two years ago with Caring for Derek.
There were a few curveballs. Emmerdale beating Goliath soaps EastEnders and Corrie was unexpected, particularly as the rivals have both boasted big storylines recently.
And though there was no doubting how hugely moving Mr BatesVs The Post Office was for viewers this year, it was still stunning to see them bag three awards.
Does the general lack of surprises diminish the thrill of the NTAs? Not at all. It remains one of the few awards shows which actually gauges what the majority of Brits are actually watching.
They aren’t interested in PR stunts and promotion, in highbrow actors and writers lauded by their fellow luvvies and they certainly can’t stand having what they ought to be watching dictated to them
We live in a bewildering world where scandals often rock shows, in an age where streaming means the shared experience is diminished and ratings are hard to decipher.
But year in, year out NTA voters leave us in no doubt which shows they adore, which ones they’ve fallen out of love with, and which celebrities they’re prepared to back.
They tell us all loud and clear, every year, who they consider to be the best – and woe betide any telly exec who ignores them.
