Ruth Langsford has proudly revealed she’s single and could be on the lookout for love.

The Loose Women star, 64, announced in May that she and her estranged husband Eamonn Holmes, also 64, had started divorce proceedings. They had been married for 14 years but had been together since 1997, sharing one child, a son, Jack. But while Eamonn has reportedly been seeking comfort from a friend he met on social media, Ruth’s life has remained very quiet.

Now, she has taken to social media and hinted that she could be ready to look for love again, almost two months after announcing her split from Eamonn. Taking to Instagram in view of her 1.1 million followers, the telly star revealed she had been soaking up the sun in her sprawling garden as temperatures almost hit 30 degrees.

Sharing a snap on her Instagram Stories, Ruth appeared to be sipping on a nice cold drink from a Love Island cup which she held between her bare legs. Captioning her upload, Rith penned: “@loveisland merch!! What a beautiful day it’s been.” Ruth’s Love Island cup had her name written on it, the same way Islanders in the villa use theirs.

Her post comes after she appeared to hit out at her estranged husband. Over the past few months, it has become clear there is one major issue of contention they’ll struggle to agree on – who will get their beloved dog Maggie? Ruth has been keeping fans updated on their pooch’s health as some have become concerned over her absence on Eamonn’s account.

Maggie, who is 14-years-old, recently had a procedure at the vet to remove a growth. Ruth shared a video earlier this month of Maggie with a shaved back after the operation. She has since shared a sweet photo of the pup to her followers as she enjoyed the sun.

Alongside a snap of Maggie sunbathing on a patio, Ruth wrote: “She always finds the BEST sunbathing spot! My little grey faced girl!” It came just two days after Eamonn issued a message about Maggie to his followers. He shared a photo cuddling Maggie and said: “A lot of you wondering about Maggie. She’s had an op to remove a growth. All well . Not bad for a 14 year old ! In fact she’s in better shape than me.”

Fans thanked Eamonn for the update but urged him to look after himself, with one commenting: “Maggie is beautiful Eamon but please do look after yourself also I hope your notability improves it’s hard to keep an Irish man down.” While another wrote: “Lovely pic Eamon and so pleased Maggie is well love her our fur babies are family hope you’re doing well too living in pain is awful so sending u lots of well wishes.”
