Earlier on Wednesday Ruth, 64, told fans she was on her way into ITV and teased a photoshoot – but kept the details under wraps.

She said on Instagram: “On my way to Loose Women for a very exciting photoshoot. Watch this space!”

Ruth took some time off earlier this year after splitting from her husband Eamonn Holmes.

They shocked the nation in May when they revealed they had split up after 14 years of marriage.

The couple – who share son Jack – first got together in 1996 and tied the knot in 2010.

Eamonn recently jetted off to Spain with his new lady, Katie Alexander as they headed on a cruise.

Taking big steps in their romance, the couple want to make it more official.

A source close to relationship counsellor Katie, 42, told The Sun: “Katie’s assured him she’s in it for the long haul and they’re both settling down nicely.

“They’ve been spending so much time at his Kingston flat that they’re even looking to move in together permanently.

“Eamonn doesn’t want to stay in his rented place as it’s too small, too expensive and, without air conditioning, gets very hot.

“It’s on the basement floor as well, with people looking in as they walk past all the time so isn’t private enough for them.

“With that in mind, they’re really keen to move into a bigger place in the country with lots of land.

“Katie will obviously be there to care for Eamonn as he grows older and thinks it’s best to do that somewhere without prying eyes.”

 

 

TV anchor Eamonn was spotted using a wheelchair in the airport this week, having been plagued by a series of health problems in recent years that have led to him requiring walking aids.

He had a double hip replacement in 2016. Last year, he had back surgery which has left him using a wheelchair.

And in January he broke his shoulder in a fall. Four months later we revealed he had split with Ruth.
