Eamonn Holmes left ‘fuming’ as Ruth Langsford’s pal reveals her next move

is reportedly embracing her newfound independence, leaving reeling in the wake of their shock split earlier this year.

The television duo, who once captivated audiences with their on-screen chemistry, parted ways in May, stunning their loyal fanbase.

Insiders claim that Ruth, who has been quoted telling pals that “life begins after divorce,” is keenly anticipating the fresh opportunities that await her as the finalisation of her divorce from Eamonn Holmes approaches.

Yet, her apparent zest for life’s next phase seems to be sparking feelings of “anger and jealousy” in Eamonn.

An insider said this week: “Ruth’s sass is definitely back. She’s ready for exciting new adventures and a new man if and when it’s on her terms but for now, she’s not overly fussed about jumping into anyone’s bed but her own. Girls’ nights out and pina coladas are filling the void. Her friends are like her armour and they give great advice.”

“Eamonn is just angry and jealous he’s brought this all on himself but Ruth is keeping dignified,” they told Closer.

Meanwhile, another source claimed by Ruth’s decision to appear on , reports .

Ruth, 64, was all smiles upon her arrival in Australia this month to participate in the Unpacked spin-off, while Eamonn was reportedly less than thrilled about her adventure down under.

A source said: “Eamonn is seething about Ruth going to the jungle as she never wanted to go away with him. She told him she hated flying! He’d always dreamed of taking her on some special trips, places they could explore and enjoy together, but every time he suggested it, she shot the idea down.

“Now, all of a sudden, she’s more than happy to hop on a plane for 22 hours each way to the other side of the world! It’s left him feeling completely baffled and a bit hurt, to be honest. It’s rubbed him up the wrong way because it feels like she’s willing to do it for the show but not for him,” they added to The Sun.

Amidst the shock news that their 14-year marriage is set to come to an end, a swift divorce seems to be on the cards for Eamonn and Ruth in the upcoming new year.

A different insider divulged to The Sun: “The aim is for Eamonn and Ruth to resolve their divorce as quickly as possible in the New Year. Ruth is keen to stay in their marital home as it is where she is settled. Eamonn, on the other hand, wants to get out and make a fresh start. They aren’t dragging their heels and want this settled and done as quickly as possible.”

Sparking fresh marriage whispers, Eamonn and Katie were recently seen in Paris, which only fuelled the rumour mill further. The duo were snapped just last week by the iconic Louvre museum, with Eamonn used a mobility chair while Katie donned a chic faux leather jacket.

Speculation intensified when Katie was observed flaunting a , instigating talks that Eamonn might be contemplating another trip down the aisle.

Ruth is reportedly arming herself with an exhaustive chronology of Eamonn’s recent romantic entanglement as divorce talks loom. A confidant divulged to the Mirror: “Ruth’s legal team are compiling a forensically detailed account of Eamonn’s relationship with Katie and when it started.

Ruth’s team are doing their due diligence ahead of the divorce proceedings. They are prepared to speak to people in Ruth and Eamonn’s wider circle.”

The informant continued: “Katie and Eamonn have been scrambling around to tell their respective exes that they were not romantically involved way back then.”

It is said that Ruth has secured the expertise of prominent divorce barrister Catherine Costley, who comes with a hefty £400 hourly fee. Costley cut her teeth alongside famed matrimonial lawyer Baroness Fiona Shackleton, whose past clients include the King in his divorce from Princess Diana and Sir Paul McCartney.
