Ruth Langsford has reportedly been left 'upset' at claims the reason for her split from Eamonn Holmes was due to his health issues.
It comes as it has been claimed a pal of Ruth's has said she was left 'devastated' when she discovered 'messages from another woman' on Eamonn's laptop - which was reportedly the real reason they split. In 2016, Eamonn underwent a double-hip replacement operation lasting three-and-a-quarter hours after living with acute pain for many years.
The broadcaster has suffered from long-term difficulties, previously telling of his battle with chronic back pain after a dislocated pelvis led to three slipped discs Ruth added: 'I look at Eamonn, who's had his health and back problems, and it makes you realise how important your health is.' This week, a pal of Ruth's told The Mirror: 'Ruth was hurt when she learned about Eamonn's friendship with another woman but she is strong and she will be back soon with a smile on her face, putting her best foot forward, as she always does.
While Eamonn's new friendship is not said to be a reason for the marriage breakdown it is understood that Ruth was unaware of her until recently and has decided to take time off work.
