GB News presenter Eamonn Holmes spoke out about his next potential career move, following the release of his ex‑wife Ruth Langsford’s book
Eamonn Holmes has revealed he is considering writing a new book, 20 years after releasing his first autobiography. The broadcaster published This Is My Life back in 2006, in which he opened up about growing up in Belfast, his journey to becoming a presenter and shared insights into his family life.
Fast forward two decades and the 66-year-old has added several more chapters to his life, one of which shocked fans in 2024 following his split from Ruth Langsford.
Recently hinting that he could reflect on the past 20 years in a new book, he told Bella Magazine: “It is a lot of trouble [to write it].
“When I wrote the original, it was thick and when the lawyers finished with it, it was thin. So there is a lot of pain.”
Eamonn went on to say: “Nobody wants me to write a nice story. They want the truth and to be given it straight.
“People can’t handle the truth, they don’t want to know the truth. I have learnt people want their own version of the truth.”
Some of the major developments in Eamonn’s life in recent years include him leaving This Morning, dealing with multiple health issues and beginning a new relationship following his split from Ruth.
The former couple, who share a 23-year-old son, were together for 27 years, including 14 years of marriage.
In February, Ruth released her new book, Feeling Fabulous, which mixes personal stories from her life with advice on resilience and self-confidence.
While promoting the publication, the Loose Women star spoke about her marriage ending unexpectedly.
Ruth has suggested it was Eamonn who ended their relationship, a move that left her blindsided.
She told the Daily Mail: “In my opinion, I had a very happy marriage. Of course you question yourself, did I miss something, was I not aware, was I too busy? But there’s no point playing the blame game.”
She went on to say: “I just didn’t think I’d find myself here, and I wasn’t strong at the start.
“I was broken. Broken heart. Broken dreams. We all have an image of how we think our life and future is going to be. This wasn’t mine.”
Ruth has, however, refrained from discussing the reason for their split out of respect for their son. She also recently confirmed that she is single and, although she isn’t actively looking for a partner, she hasn’t ruled it out.
As for Eamonn, he went public with his new partner Katie Alexander in late 2024, and the pair have remained together ever since.
Addressing his split from Ruth in the same year, he told The Mirror: “I’m not OK. This is not a good time at all.”
When asked about whether the pair will continue to have a relationship of any sort, he added: “It’s too early to say but I hope we can still be friends.”
