Coronation Street legend Charlie Lawson revealed both Ruth Langsford and Eamonn Holmes are struggling following their split.


It comes after the former This Morning presenters shared they were calling time on their 14 year marriage.

After almost three decades together the GB News host, 64, and the Loose Women presenter, also 64.

Have decided to go their separate ways and now the Jim McDonald actor gave an insight into his candid conversation with Eamonn.

Eamonn officiated Charlie’s wedding in 2023 and the pair have been good friends for years.

Speaking about Eamonn’s split from Ruth, Charlie told The Sun on Sunday: “I’ve known Eamonn for a very long time and we spoke a couple of days ago.

“He’s doing his best to get through it.”

The former Corrie star revealed both Eamonn and Ruth found the break-up difficult.

Charlie continued: “Splitting up is always difficult and if you are in the public eye, and these two are both extremely famous, it’s extremely difficult. They’re finding it very difficult.

“He’s a very good friend. I love him dearly. They’ll get through it.”

It was previously reported relationship counsellor Katie Alexander, 42, has been helping Eamonn and supporting him as a friend amidst the split.

In May it emerged Eamonn and Ruth have split after 14 years of marriage and are to divorce.

Their separation comes after the former couple had not been photographed together for two years.

As well as his marriage breakdown, Eamonn has problems walking – and has been suffering chronic back pain for almost two years.

Speaking in January the presenter said the “harsh reality” could be that he may never be able to walk alone again unaided.

Eamonn and Ruth met in 1997 when they were introduced by mutual friends and they then dated for over a decade before he popped the question and they married in 2010.
