Loose Women star Ruth Langsford has previously spoken about her hopes for finding love again following her separation from Eamonn Holmes
Ruth Langsford’s Loose Women co-star Coleen Nolan has shared what she hopes lies ahead romantically for her long-term friend. The former This Morning presenter said she was left blindsided when her 14-year marriage to Eamonn Holmes ended in 2024.
Since then, Eamonn has embarked on a new relationship with therapist Katie Alexander, while Ruth has stayed single.
Despite it being two years since their separation, Coleen suspects her co-star may still not be ready to move forward.
Reflecting on her recent stint on Celebs Go Dating, the Loose Women panellist said she would be delighted to see Ruth participate in the programme and discover “someone gorgeous”.
Speaking to Woman Magazine, she shared: “Oh, my God. I’d love to see her on the show! I’d just love her to meet someone gorgeous that she deserves.”
However, having experienced divorce herself, Coleen said she understands why Ruth may not yet feel ready to move on.
“I think she’s a way off though. I couldn’t have done that straight after my divorce. No way. For four years after I got divorced, the last thing I wanted was anyone,” she added.
“I loved my freedom. That took a good three or four years. And I think Ruth might feel like that. But God, I’ve love her to do the show. If she asked me, I’d be like, ‘Absolutely do it, it’s brilliant’.
“I really wanted to do it, but I didn’t expect it to be as good as it was,” she added.
Ruth has previously discussed the possibility of finding love again. Speaking to Heart Radio presenters Amanda Holden and Jamie Theakston, she said she would rather any future relationship develop organically and dismissed using dating apps.
“I want to do it the old-fashioned way,” she said. “You know, that I might just walk out of here, bump into somebody and go, ‘Oh sorry’ and then find myself having a coffee with them. I don’t know, but I won’t be swiping anyone.”
Earlier this year, Ruth also opened up to the Daily Mail about her split from Eamonn.
Looking back on the collapse of their marriage, she confessed she was “broken” and blindsided by it.
“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 told the publication.
“I just didn’t think I’d find myself here, and I wasn’t strong at the start,” she continued. “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.”
