Ruth Langsford poured cold water over suggestions she and Eamonn Holmes could remain close in a resurfaced clip.

The former couple spoke about whether they believe it’s the correct thing to do to stay friends with an ex on This Morning back in 2018.

The Loose Women host was crystal clear that once a relationship had ended, there’s little point in staying in touch.

It has been claimed that the divorcing TV pair could stay in each other’s lives, despite their shock announcement earlier this summer.

The TV presenters, who are both 64, met in 1997 through a mutual friend but their marriage has collapsed and it May it was revealed that they have split up.

It has since been alleged that Ruth found messages between her husband and another woman on a laptop.

She has been left “hurt” after finding out her husband is being consoled by Katie Alexander after she struck up a friendship with Eamonn over the past couple of years and he is said to have taken her to a safari park, a Manchester United game and a Beyonce gig.

It seems there’s no going back and the clues were there during the segment on This Morning six years ago. Ruth remarked that it was “very nice” that people had managed to stay friends after a splitting and said: “Whether you think it’s a good idea to remain friends with your ex. We want to hear your stories.”

The Irishman asked her: “We want to hear your view Ruth. What do you think?” Bluntly, she said: “I think I’ve made that quite clear – no, because they’re my exes. If I met them in a room I’d be perfectly friendly, but I don’t need them in my life.” Eamonn then butted in, sayig: “Is it because they don’t like you? Is that why? Do they not want to be in touch with you?”

After some awkward laughter, Ruth hit back and said: “They all love me. I just, you know… I feel that’s done. Thank you very much, very nice. Yes.” It’s believed that both Eamonn and Ruth are keen to finalise their divorce soon, but there’s still a lot to sort out behind the scenes.

At last month’s TRIC awards, Eamonn was quizzed about the future of his relationship with Ruth and said: “It’s too early to say but I hope we can still be friends.” Eamonn and Ruth’s romance began in 1997 after being introduced by friends, leading to over a decade of dating before Eamonn proposed.

The couple tied the knot in 2010, but they hadn’t been seen together publicly for two years prior to their split and in May they stunned fans by confirming it is all over in a statement. A friend of Ruth said: “Ruth was hurt when she learned about Eamonn’s friendship with another woman but she is strong and she will be back soon with a smile on her face, putting her best foot forward, as she always does. She needs a bit of time to regroup after everything that’s gone on.”
