Eamonn Holmes cut a very downcast appearance when he was pictured leaving the GB News studios after the story broke of his public split with Ruth Langsford, following 14 years of marriage.

The 64-year-old presenter, who made a name for himself hosting a number of TV shows, including This Morning with his wife Ruth, appeared stern and unwilling to show emotion as he left the news studios. The couple officially called it quits last weekend [25 May]. The pictures of Eamonn comes after it was speculated that the TV presenter, 64, was set to tell all about his split with Ruth after leaving the couple’s £3.25 million Surrey mansion. At the time, it was believed that the GB News presenter was prepared to give Ruth, who has maintained a role on Loose Women, a bit of space amid their public separation.

And on Tuesday [28 May] Eamonn appeared alongside his GB News co-star and spoke out for the first time in regards to his pending divorce from Ruth. The Belfast-born veteran presenter thanked fans for their support, adding: “Your support for both of us is very much appreciated.” But moving swiftly on, he then went on to discuss the political stories that dominated the front pages of the press. However, his carefree and “rude” take on Prime Minister Rishi Sunak did little to appease viewers, as some labelled him as “rude” and “irritable.”

During his segment, he poked fun at the Prime Minister after seeing him play football, as he compared him to a headteacher. He stated: “Can this man get any more boring than he is? This business of conscription, this business of maths. He just would have made a perfect awful head teacher, wouldn’t he? Oh, Mr Sunak’s in today, he’s a right bore, he is.”

He also got into a number of verbal disagreements with his co-star Isobel Webster, which left a bad taste in the mouths of viewers. Determined to make their point, fans took to Twitter, also now known as X. One person said: “Crikey Eamonn you are in a stinking mood this morning. Much as I admire you I kind of feel for Isabel today, give her a break eh.” Another added: “Someone needs to take irritable Eamonn – he’s a nightmare today!”

And a third commented: “He is making it into car crash TV. Don’t know how Isabel is coping with him. He is being so rude to everybody. Does this have to go on for another two hours?” The couple announced their separation last weekend in a joint statement, ending 14 years of marriage. And it read: “

Deflecting away from the public scrutiny over the state of his marriage, Eamonn chose to only focus on talking about the FA Cup rather than the announcement of his split with the glamorous Loose Women panellist.. He told Isobel: “The weekend was just marvellous, marvellous, marvellous. The FA Cup final was one of the greatest cup finals there has ever been. It got me there. Yeah, it’s emotional.”
