The broadcaster, 64, and marriage counsellor Katie Alexander, 42, jetted off to Spain over the weekend.

On Saturday The Sun revealed he was taking his new woman on a luxury holiday, which left his estranged wife Ruth Langsford, 64, ‘gobsmacked’.

The following day Eamonn was seen in an electric wheelchair at Heathrow Airport and the new couple then landed in Barcelona, Spain, to board Virgin Voyager’s luxurious Scarlet Lady.

In some new pictures, Eamonn and Katie are seen arriving at Barcelona airport, ahead of their romantic trip away together.

Katie is seen rocking a striped cardigan and smart trousers while holding his walker.

Eamonn can be seen ahead of her in his wheelchair after getting out of a vehicle.

TV anchor Eamonn has had a number of health setbacks in recent years.

The telly favourite had a double hip replacement in 2016, and last year he had back surgery, which left him using a wheelchair.

In January he broke his shoulder in a fall.

The Mirror reported that a body language expert thinks that Eamonn “could have been kinder” to Katie.

Body language expert Judi James told the publication: “The body language of Eamonn and Katie here makes all her dedicated-looking behaviours seem a bit like a thankless task as she is seen bending, lugging bags and making herself busy organising Eamonn’s arrival at the dock despite the fact that he buzzes off leaving her trailing in his wake and shows no signs of pinging back her loving, caring-looking smiles.”

She also thinks that Katie is “under prepared” for her “duties”.

Judi added: “Katie actually looks a little unprepared for her duties here, too.

“The outfit might look practical but those strappy sandals with their high see-thru heels don’t look ideal for a job of fetching, carrying and organising.

“She looks dressed more for a romantic break and her chatty, smiley behaviour with other guests makes her look excited and full of anticipation about her luxury cruise.”

Ruth and Eamonn Relationship Timeline

Before the shock split announcement, Ruth and Eamonn seemed like one of the strongest couples on UK TV – even with their signature bickering style.

Here’s how their romance played out…

1997 – The couple first meet after being introduced by mutual friends, two years after Eamonn splits from his first wife, Gabrielle, with whom he has three children.

1997-2002 – To be respectful to Gabrielle, the couple kept their relationship out of the limelight. Ruth told Daily Mail: “I thought it spoke volumes about the sort of man he was, the sort of father he was and the integrity he had. It made me love him more, not less.”

2016 – Eamonn undergoes a double hip replacement in the first of many health battles.

June 2019 – On This Morning, Ruth and Eamonn say the secret to their happy marriage. Eamonn credits “compromise, consideration and lots of conjugal,” while Ruth said it was “laughter and an equal marriage”.

Eamonn moved out of their Surrey home after the split.

Despite going on holiday with his new woman, Ruth is still wearing her wedding ring.

The TV presenter recorded a video for fans teasing what they could expect on today’s instalment of Loose Women.
