They say revenge is a dish best served cold, but it tastes even better when it\u2019s served within the pages of a no-holds-barred memoir. So it\u2019s no wonder Ruth Langsford was all smiles last week as she shared the news of her new book, Feeling Fabulous, with fans. She promises it will detail \u201cthe ups and the downs, the good and the not so good\u201d of her life.<\/a><\/p>\n

Sources tell New that the timing of Ruth\u2019s announcement \u2013 a month ahead of the book\u2019s release on 26 February \u2013 is no coincidence, and that the Loose Women<\/a> star, 65, is determined to show everyone that she\u2019s in the best place possible after the collapse of her marriage to Eamonn Holmes.<\/a><\/p>\n

The TV duo called time on their relationship in May 2024, after 27 years together and 14 years of marriage. Eamonn, 66, quickly moved on with current girlfriend Katie Alexander, 43, and recent reports claim the loved-up couple have bought a luxury weekend retreat near Eamonn\u2019s native Belfast in Northern Ireland.<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cThis is really all about the timing,\u201d says our source. \u201cIt\u2019s no accident that Ruth announced the book days after the news of Eamonn\u2019s new love nest broke.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut Ruth isn\u2019t about being bitter \u2013 she\u2019s about empowering herself and is feeling really good at the minute. She wants to draw a line under everything with Eamonn, officially and emotionally. The book is her way of doing that.\u201d<\/p>\n

While Ruth admits she\u2019s \u201ca little nervous\u201d about the book\u2019s release, it\u2019s Eamonn who\u2019s likely to be most on edge as he braces himself for his ex-wife to share her side of the story on their marriage.<\/a><\/p>\n

The former TV golden couple\u2019s break-up came as a shock to fans, not least because Eamonn had been battling a series of debilitating health issues, with Ruth acting as his carer.<\/p>\n

Following their split, the GB News presenter moved out of their Surrey home and, despite the 23-year age gap, his relationship with marriage counsellor Katie appears to be flourishing. The couple enjoy luxury getaways and regularly attend high-profile events together.<\/p>\n

The split clearly hit Ruth hard, but late last year the star\u2019s wounds appeared to be healing as she hinted she\u2019s finally ready to move on.<\/p>\n

\u201cBefore, I saw darkness and was thinking, \u2018Oh my God, what\u2019s going to happen?\u2019 but now the fear [has] gone,\u201d she said. \u201cBecause what do you do? Do you crumble? Do you lay down and die? Oh no, not I. I will survive.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ruth, who shares 23-year-old son Jack with Eamonn<\/a>, has also revealed that she turned to therapy to help her cope with the split.<\/p>\n

\u201cI started counselling when Eamonn and I separated, and I\u2019m still having it,\u201d she confided. \u201cIt is very powerful and very useful. It gives me tools to deal with things.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy counsellor has probably seen us on TV, but she doesn\u2019t know either of us, so doesn\u2019t get involved and doesn\u2019t judge. She just listens and says, \u2018Have you thought about this?\u2019 or \u2018Why did you feel like that?\u2019<\/p>\n

\u201cI think I know myself very well, so it has just been calming. It makes me question how I\u2019m feeling.\u201d<\/p>\n

Speaking about how she processed her pain, Ruth added, \u201cThe end of a very long relationship takes a lot of unravelling. Counselling helps you move on from it, to not be held back\u2026 I definitely see light in the future where I didn\u2019t before.\u201d<\/p>\n

The former This Morning<\/a> presenter has also revealed she\u2019s open to finding love again \u2013 despite claiming she\u2019s \u201cactually quite good\u201d on her own.<\/p>\n

\u201cI haven\u2019t been put off having a relationship,\u201d she confessed. \u201cI haven\u2019t even been put off marriage.\u201d<\/p>\n

Last year she opened up about her decision to finally pen a memoir, saying, \u201cI\u2019ve been asked to do a book many times, and I\u2019ve always said no because I\u2019ve always thought, \u2018Who cares about my life, or what I\u2019ve done in my life.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u201cBut I\u2019m at a certain age now and at a certain stage in my life, and the stories in here are just reflections. It\u2019s not really an autobiography, it\u2019s called memoir plus. So it\u2019s stories from my life, actual things that have happened to me, how I\u2019ve dealt with them, the lessons I\u2019ve learned from them, how I\u2019ve coped, how I\u2019m finding life now at 65.\u201d<\/p>\n

However challenging the past few years have been for Ruth, our source says she has overcome her emotional demons and is in a far more positive headspace as she moves on from her marriage woes and looks towards the year ahead.<\/p>\n

\u201cRuth is busy with so many different things this year \u2013 she\u2019s not even given Eamonn a second thought,\u201d says our source. \u201cShe\u2019s looking forward to new opportunities this year, like this book. She\u2019s very career-minded and this is a new beginning for her.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe\u2019s got a new book coming out, is open to love again and while she waits for the right person, she\u2019s all about having fun with her girlfriends.\u201d<\/p>\n
