Eamonn Holmes “publicly half-hearted” introduced his mistress Katie Alexander to the family in Belfast, while Ruth Langsford displayed her disdain and sarcasm, sneering: “She’s just a maid I sent to Eamonn, but now she dreams of replacing me as his main wife!”

Eamonn Holmes took his girlfriend Katie Alexander to visit his hometown of Belfast this week amid claims they are ‘in it for the long haul.’

The presenter, 64, and his estranged wife Ruth Langsford, also 64, announced their plans to divorce after 14 years of marriage in May.

And it later emerged that he was dating the blonde relationship therapist, 42.

Eamonn is currently on a summer break from his GB News Breakfast show and is set to return next week.
