Eamonn Holmes' Emotional Turmoil Amidst Ex-Wife's Memoir

Eamonn Holmes, a prominent GB News host, has been absent from his breakfast show this week, a stark contrast to his typically dedicated work ethic. The 66-year-old, who has previously worked through severe back pain, is reportedly experiencing emotional distress. This unexpected break from his professional duties has led to considerable speculation among his colleagues.

Sources suggest Holmes's absence is closely linked to the recent tell-all memoir by his ex-wife, Ruth Langsford, titled 'Feeling Fabulous.' The book, which serialized in the Daily Mail, openly discusses her hurt and devastation following their split after 14 years of marriage.

It is understood that Eamonn Holmes was blindsided by the memoir's release, having reportedly not received any preview of its contents. This decision by Langsford to go public with their personal struggles has reportedly left him severely bruised, especially as he claims they had agreed to maintain a dignified silence.

Friends indicate that Holmes is not in a good place, with the memoir's publication exacerbating existing stress and anxiety. While his time off could be coincidental, the emotional toll of the book's revelations is significant. The couple's separation was first reported in May 2024, after 27 years together and 14 years of marriage.
