Following the confirmation that they’re being replaced as regular This Morning presenters, it’s no surprise that Ruth Langsford and Eamonn Holmes have been left ‘disappointed’ and ‘struggling to understand the change’.
Ruth’s Loose Women co-star Gloria Hunniford made the revelations about how her friends are feeling, and added, ‘I don’t fully understand the reasons behind it.’
Although both Ruth and Eamonn appear to be trying their best to stay positive in public, there’s no denying such a change would upset most people.
So, after being relegated to providing holiday cover for main hosts Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield, could Ruth, 60, be considering a future away from ITV altogether?
‘SQUEEZED OUT’
Ruth and Eamonn, 61, fronted the Friday edition of ITV’s This Morning for more than 14 years, but Alison Hammond, 45, and Dermot O’Leary, 47, are taking over from this month in a move which Woman’s Own understands the veteran couple have taken personally.
A well-placed source says, ‘Ruth’s been putting on a brave face and telling people it’s simply “out with the old, in with the new” but, deep down, it’s a bitter pill for her to swallow.
