Eamonn Holmes removes his wedding ring weeks after ex Ruth Langsford ditched her own band over a year after their split
Eamonn Holmes has removed his wedding ring, over a year since his spilt from Ruth Langsford.
The TV couple shocked fans with their joint statement on May 25 2024 confirming the end of their 14 year marriage.
And while Eamonn, 65, has embarked on a new relationship with new girlfriend Katie Alexander, 43, he had continued to wear his gold band on his wedding finger.
However, as he hosted Tuesday's edition of GB News alongside co-star Ellie Costello, his ring was noticeably absent from his hand.
While the presenter publicly ditched his jewellery for the on-air appearance, MailOnlie understands that Eamonn does occasionally remove his ring.

It comes weeks after Ruth finally ditched her wedding ring almost a year after announcing their split [pictured]
Just days ago, the star was seen ring-less while attending the launch party of groundbreaking new luxury raffle company Anchord UK.
It comes weeks after Ruth finally ditched her wedding ring almost a year after announcing their split.
But since then, Ruth has resolutely kept her wedding and engagement rings on, even once declaring to a fan that she wouldn't remove them 'because I am still married.'
On a recent episode of her ITV show Loose Women though, Ruth revealed the rings were off.
Meanwhile, Eamonn's girlfriend Katie Alexander recently addressed a diamond ring on her wedding finger in new post shortly after going 'Instagram official' with their romance.
The presenter and marriage guidance counsellor Katie have been dating since mid-2024, with engagement rumours swirling since December.
And taking to her Instagram Stories, Katie posted a glowing selfie in a striped shirt, adding a playful thought bubble that read: 'Time for a coffee in between clients?'
In the snap, a dazzling diamond ring was clearly visible - prompting questions from fans. But before any rumours could gather steam, Katie quickly shut them down.
She clarified: 'Before anyone jumps to the #ringgate bandwagon, the camera is reversed so.... RightHandRingFinger!'
During his GB News show on Tuesday, Eamonn delivered a heartbreaking health update on live TV after a frightening fall in the middle of filming his news show.
Eamonn and Ellie were joined by Tim Vincent, 52, and Dawn Neesom, 60, to discuss the latest newsworthy headlines.
Actor Tim pointed out on Breakfast with Eamonn and Ellie that research has shown that exercising can cut the risk of cancer.
But as the star explained the research, Eamonn said: 'This makes me feel awful because I would have been pro-exercise, but I can't move.
'I'm in a wheelchair now.
'I can't put on trainers, I can't change, I can't go to the showers, I can't do things, I can't stand up.
'There are a lot of people who are incapable of exercising, and therefore, rightly so, an increase of cancer growing.'
It comes just hours after Katie shared photos of the couple for the first time, after Eamonn struck up a romance with the broadcaster following his split from Ruth Langsford
Tim replied: 'Absolutely and that is an issue that everybody is going to face.
'You're obviously in a really difficult position.
'Any exercise I think is going to help, especially for these people who have had cancer once and can get out there.'
Eamonn has battled a number of health problems in recent years, including a double hip replacement surgery, slipped discs and ongoing spinal problems.
Last month Eamonn fell off his chair live on air, shocking his GB News co-stars.
As the camera focused on commentator Charlie Rowley at 6:15am, a crash could be heard off screen and the broadcaster's co-host Ellie Costello exclaimed 'oh my gosh.'
Eamonn was then heard saying: 'I'm fine, fine, fine, carry on, carry on.'

A stunned Charlie tried to continue but the early morning news programme cut to adverts seconds later.
After an extended six-minute break, Eamonn returned to screens, joking: 'I'm still alive,' as he blamed the 'wonky' wheels on his chair.
'They're very wonky wheels on chairs we've got here, as a matter of fact we don't really like the chairs here,' he said to his co-host Ellie.
'It was a shock for me because I had a fall two weeks ago in my bathroom that hospitalised me and that hit me right in the back.'
'And that hit me again right in the back. Really, really sore, really sore.'

The power from thousands of UK car drivers is now in your hands
I received an interesting E-mail from a reader last week, following up on a recent long-term report on the single-motor Volvo EC40 I'm currently driving. It turns out that our reader, a keen petrolhead called Derek Dunthorne, is running the twin-motor version of the Volvo EC40, and although it's in a different specification to mine and something of an upgrade, we share many similar opinions. Advertisement - Article continues below Derek loves the interior, telling me that the 'Android-based interface is brilliant – easy to use and completely logical – although, like most folk, I would prefer knobs for the heating and ventilation'. He also gave me some background information on his buying decision. Moving away from several Porsche Macans, this would be his – wait for it – 56th car. What particularly impressed him was Volvo's interior quality and finish; they're not quite at Porsche standards, in his opinion, but better than the Korean alternatives. He initially considered the smaller and newer EX30, but found he preferred the more conventional driver displays of the EC40, which is something I happen to agree with. It also turns out that we are even getting the same miles per kWh. But the really interesting information from Derek was beyond even what our long-term reports can offer. It transpires that he bought the car at six months old with 1,800 miles on the clock for a discount of 33 per cent on the new price and a three per cent PCP (to hedge against depreciation). He was impressed with Volvo's used car 30-day exchange policy, and as it transpired that was a good choice, because he actually ended up using it. Unhappy with his first car for a number of reasons, he returned it and the company refunded his money and allowed him to choose another, which he now loves. In terms of running costs, his are a fraction of mine. He uses the Octopus Energy Intelligent Go tariff that enables him to charge overnight for 7.0p per kWh. This means he has spent around £120 on electricity in 12 months and about 4,000 miles. Like many, he has never needed to use public charging, with all his journeys having been no longer than the 200 miles that the Volvo can comfortably complete. In the digital era, we often hear about information overload, but Derek's E-mail and the context of his purchase and ongoing experience really brought home the power of information for car buyers. Which is what our annual Driver Power satisfaction survey is all about: real-world experiences from real-world drivers. You can read the 2025 results next week, but in the meantime 'be more Derek'. Fill in the latest survey that will contribute to next year's results, because there is clearly no such thing as too much information when it comes to changing cars. We need all the help we can get, from experts and those living with the cars we're considering. Buy a car with Auto Express.

The core traits of INCELS: Scientists identify 12 key characteristics in disturbed, women-hating men
A new study has shed light on incels - and exactly why some men are more likely to become women-hating recluses. Researchers from Swansea University and the University of Texas at Austin surveyed 561 incels from the UK and the US. And their results revealed 12 key characteristics shared by this group. The surprising results show that the most important common factors are not right-wing ideology or ethnicity, but extremely poor mental health and a history of bullying. Incels, or involuntary celibates, are a group of men who believe they are unable to have sex or form relationships and are often extremely hostile to women as a result. Shows like Netflix 's Adolescence paint a picture of the stereotypical incel as y oung, white, right-wing, chronically online, and violent. However, this research suggests that incel ideology is attracting a far wider section of society than previously thought. Co-author Dr Joe Whittaker, a criminologist from Swansea University, says: 'While drama can be a useful tool for facilitating public debate, it is also important to have rigorous academic research to back it up.' Although the survey found that incels had a 'broad range of characteristics', some factors were more common. Dr Andrew Thomas, a psychologist at Swansea University, says: 'If we had to point to their most consistent characteristics, it would be incredibly poor mental health and their feelings of bitterness, frustration, and disdain towards women—though even these show variation within the sample.' The most important factor was that incels typically suffered from exceptionally poor mental health. More than a third of incels suffer from moderate depression or anxiety while 37 per cent said they had 'daily suicidal thoughts'. Co-author William Costello, a researcher in psychology from the University of Texas at Austin, says: 'Incels are typically framed in terms of the threat they pose to others, but our findings suggest they may be just as dangerous, if not more so, to themselves.' However, this finding may also be concerning given that incel ideology has already been the inspiration for several mass shootings and murders. Studies have shown that over 70 per cent of all mass shooters were suicidal before or intended to die during their killing sprees. Incels' high rates of poor mental health came alongside high rates of loneliness and a history of bullying. Out of those surveyed, 86 per cent of incels reported having experienced bullying compared to just a third of the general population. Likewise, when asked to assess their loneliness, 48 per cent of incels selected the highest possible option. This could be a product of the fact that almost half of all incels live with their parents or grandparents while a further quarter live alone. In that isolation, the researchers point out that incel forums may become someone's only source of social contact or companionship Another extremely common factor is incels' extremely high rates of autism and neurodivergence. During the study, the researchers gave incels the 'Autism Spectrum Quotient-10' test, a screening tool used to see whether someone should be referred for a formal autism assessment. A third of all participants would have been referred for clinical assessment, compared to just one per cent of the general population. In terms of ideology, incels beliefs were often varied but centred on a few key principles. Just like in Adolescence, the majority of incels agreed with the so-called 80/20 principle - the belief that 80 per cent of women are attracted to 20 per cent of men. This principle is the cornerstone of incel 'black pill' ideology which states that incels should give up on relationships because they can never improve their dating prospects. Likewise, incels are unified in their belief that 'feminists', followed by 'the political left', 'wider society', and 'women', were the biggest threats to their community. However, incels are not all members of the far right as they are often made out to be. In fact, incels typically viewed themselves as 'centre-left' and shared left-wing views on issues such as homosexuality, corporate profits, and social benefits. In another break with the stereotype, incels are also a far more diverse group than many people believe. Only 58 per cent of incels taking the online survey said they were white while the remaining 42 per cent were from a variety of ethnicities. Likewise, incels were mainly middle-class but reported coming from all socioeconomic backgrounds and the majority were either employed or in full-time education. Dr Thomas says: 'Incels are often stereotyped in the media as young, white, right-wing men who are not in employment, education, or training. 'When we tested the accuracy of these stereotypes using primary data collection, we discovered misconceptions.' However, one of the study's most important findings was the identification of which two sub-groups of incels were more likely to develop harmful attitudes which could lead to violence. The first group are incels with psychological vulnerabilities such as autism spectrum disorder or a history of bullying and abuse who may be drawn to 'black pill' ideology by feelings of rejection. The second were those on the 'dispositional extremism trajectory' whose innate characteristics disposed them to misogynistic violence. These incels had high rates of narcissism, psychopathy, and Machiavellianism as well as right-wing political views which lead to a greater risk of violence. The researchers hope these distinctions will help de-radicalisation and counter-extremism efforts target the right people with the right interventions. What is an Incel? 'Incel' stands for 'involuntary celibate' and is a term used by a certain group of men who blame their inability to form relationships and have sex on women. Incel groups have been accused of inciting violence and misogyny online and numerous communities and subreddits have been banned over their content. A cryptic Facebook message posted by Toronto suspect Alek Minassian just before the incident suggested he was part of an online community angry over their inability to form relationships with the opposite sex. The now-deleted post saluted Elliot Rodger, a community college student who killed six people and wounded 13 in shooting and stabbing attacks near the University of California, Santa Barbara, in 2014. Calling Rodger 'the Supreme Gentleman', the Facebook post declared: 'The Incel Rebellion has already begun! We will overthrow all the Chads and Stacys!' Chads and Stacys are names used in internet forums to denote people with more active sexual lives. The reference to the term 'incel', meaning involuntarily celibate, was a term used by Rodger in online posts raging at women for rejecting him romantically. The anti-women sentiment also recalled Canada's 1989 massacre at the Ecole Polytechnique, an engineering college in Montreal, when 25-year-old Marc Lepine entered a classroom. He then separated the men from the women, told the men to leave and opened fire, killing 14 women before killing himself.
