Ruth Langsford hopes to 'draw a line under' her split from her ex-husband Eamonn Holmes with her 'empowering' new book, it has been reported. 

The former This Morning host, 65, who split from the broadcaster and her former co-star, 66, in June 2024, announced the release of her tell-all memoir just as it was revealed he had purchased a plush new pad with his girlfriend Katie Alexander, 44.

After 27 years together, 14 of which they were married, Ruth is said to be 'officially and emotionally' done, with the publication closing that chapter of her life. 

Her upcoming book, Ruth Langsford Feeling Fabulous, will detail 'the ups, the downs and the lessons that have shaped her.'

A source said: 'This is really all about the timing. It’s no accident that Ruth announced the book days after the news of Eamonn’s new love nest broke.

'But Ruth isn’t about being bitter – she’s about empowering herself and is feeling really good at the minute.'

They added to The Mirror: 'She wants to draw a line under everything with Eamonn, officially and emotionally. The book is her way of doing that.' 

Daily Mail has contacted Ruth's representative for comment. 

The former couple and co-stars have largely avoided speaking about each other following their split. 

But now, Ruth plans to speak about her 'experiences' in her new memoir, which releases February 26. 

She wrote on Instagram on Friday: 'NOT LONG NOW… Can’t believe that 2026 is the year I publish my first book! I’m very excited but also a little nervous…

'These are stories about my life, the ups and the downs, the good and the not so good but everything that has made me the woman I am today.

'I share the experiences that have shaped me and the lessons I’ve learned along the way. Publication day is 26th February but you can pre order a copy now (and a limited number of signed copies are available too).

'Click the link in my bio or check out my stories to get your copy. Hope you enjoy reading it as much as I’ve enjoyed writing it x'

Eamonn quickly moved on to date Katie, who is 22 years his junior after his seperation from Ruth was revealed, with the pair purchasing a house in Holywood, Northern Ireland, last week

Loose Women star Ruth has remained single and recently revealed she has been seeing a therapist since their marriage breakdown.

Eamonn quickly moved on to date relationship counsellor Katie, who is 22 years his junior after his seperation from Ruth was revealed, with the pair purchasing a house in Holywood, Northern Ireland last week. 

According to a new report from The Sun, Eamonn has splashed the cash so they can enjoy cosy weekends away together.

'Eamonn loves going back to Northern Ireland visiting family and he’s been after a new place there for a while', a source said.

'It will be the perfect place to build a home with Katie, with no memories of anyone else. They can use it for weekend retreats.

'This development is perfect as houses can be custom-built for wheelchair users.'

Daily Mail has contacted Eamonn's representatives for comment.
