TV star Eamonn Holmes has reportedly downsized to a ‘small flat’ after moving out of the £3,000,000 mansion he shared with wife Ruth Langsford.
This follows news that the telly presenting duo are set to divorce after the collapse of their marriage of 14 years.
It was previously reported that Eamonn, 64, had moved out of the luxurious country home he shared with wife Ruth, also 64, before news of their split became public in May.
And now reports have emerged that Eamonn was ‘struggling behind the scenes’ in what an insider describes as ‘a sorry affair.’
The situation has reportedly seen the star move into a small flat by himself while he adjusts to life after Ruth.
A friend of Eamonn’s revealed his new living situation, saying: ‘It was only a few months ago he was living in his lovely family home with Ruth.’

Speaking to MailOnline, the tabloid’s source continued: ‘Yes, they were troubled, but she was caring for him and he had some kind of normality.
‘Now, he is alone in a flat living a pretty solitary existence. His marriage ending after such a long time has been something he has found difficult to accept.’
Meanwhile, another source at GB News said: ‘When he started here he was in pain, in a bit of a state, but since the Ruth news came out we are really concerned.
‘He is down, he is quieter and he seems to be in even more discomfort. You have to wonder whether it was his split from Ruth that’s contributed to his ailing health.’

Earlier this week, the veteran television presenter claimed that he was on ‘borrowed time’ and ‘not OK.’
Appearing at an awards ceremony, Eamonn revealed how he had been suffering from poor health and almost skipped the awards due to back pain.
He said he was only able to attend the ceremony with the use of a high-tech wheelchair and a walker for support.

Eamonn and Ruth shocked the showbiz world with news of their split. The pair first met during the late 90s through a mutual friend.
They later tied the knot in 2010 and welcomed son Jack, 22, during their marriage of 14 years.
They also co-presented This Morning together from 2006 until their controversial axing in 2020.

It is believed that work commitments caused the duo to drift in ‘different directions,’ contributing to the collapse of their marriage.
Since then, revelations have been coming through thick and fast – including claims that Ruth discovered messages between Eamonn and a new female friend, and worries for his ailing health.
This has left friends concerned that the divorce is going to ‘turn nasty.’
