Ruth Langsford takes mischievous jab at Eamonn Holmes on Loose Women
Ruth Langsford has taken a mischievous jab at her ex-husband Eamonn Holmes on Loose Women after divorcing the TV presenter in 2024.
The former star presenting couple, who were axed from This Morning in 2020, had been together since 1996. They were married in 2010 and have a son.
Langsford, who previously made a painful admission about the split, joked with her co-presenters Myleene Klass, Linda Robson, and Denise Welch about Holmes' parenting skills.
During a discussion about childbirth and midwifery, Langsford reflected on the birth of their son Jack and claimed: 'Eamonn did what he could,' which prompted laughter from Klass.
Langsford explained of her labour: 'My midwife Maria, who sadly passed, we remained friends, she came to Jack's birthday parties when he was young.
'I just remember feeling that Maria and I birthed Jack... I mean Eamonn was there and he did what he could in that moment.'
When her co-presenters and a few audience members started laughing, Langsford added: 'No no, he did.'
She continued: 'At that moment, I was relying on her. You know, when you have your eyes closed. I could hear her talking, going, 'Keep on, another breath.'
'I just remember focusing on her voice and her face that really got me through. I was a new mum, I didn't know what I was doing and she had birthed so many babies.'
It comes after Langsford opened up about her 'painful split' from Eamonn Holmes earlier this month.
Speaking to Women & Home magazine, the 64-year-old said that she had lost weight and added: 'You can let yourself crumble or you pick yourself up and get on with life. It's a choice.'
'I'm not delighted my marriage is over, but I've accepted it. I'm trying to now embrace the fact I'm single and can make choices that are just about me.
'Divorce is very painful. Most don't do it in the public eye, with everybody having an opinion. But that's the nature of my job. I've always had that and if you can't cope, you shouldn't be doing this job.'
In November 2020, the pair were left 'furious' after being axed from This Morning i n favour of Alison Hammond and Dermot O'Leary. They had hosted the ITV daytime series's Friday episode since 2006.
Langsford remained with ITV, and regularly features on Loose Women as a host – but former GM:TV host Holmes moved to GB News, where he hosts a breakfast show.

She then placed her cooked prawns in a separate bowl before coating them in a generous spoonful of the M&S Seafood sauce. Once thoroughly mixed together, she popped the prawns on top of the salad in her serving dish. However, she then realised that a little more dressing was needed. In light of this, she blended more of the seafood sauce with a tiny splash of milk in another separate bowl. She said this helped to loosen the dressing, which she subsequently drizzled over the salad. As a final touch, paprika and black pepper were sprinkled on top. Ruth added: " battery-operated pepper mill has a light!!!" The TV star's recipe was quickly showered by comments from fans, with many complementing her straight-forward but delicious-seeming recipe.

Fiongal Greenlaw, 39, and his husband Jamie Meek, 45, are thought to have been on board the flight, bound for London's Gatwick Airport, which went down shortly after take-off. They are said to have been on holiday in India. The couple co-founded a wellness brand together, which had been shown on ITV's This Morning. Following the tragic news, Jamie paid tribute to Jamie with a tribute on his Instagram Stories. "I will miss you dear friend," he said. "A wonderful human with a wonderful soul." Fiongal appeared as a guest on This Morning in January. During the episode, he gave hosts Ben and Cat a reading over their auras. He was brought back as a spiritual advisor on the show in April, with him appearing alongside Ben, Cat and Josie Gibson in the TV studio based in London. After his first visit, a post shared by his wellness brand the Wellness Foundry on Instagram read: "So this happened ... The biggest gig so far! Fiongal on This Morning - it was very nerve-wracking but he was honoured to chat about one of his favourite topics to such a big audience." The post on the platform continued: "Thank you to everyone [at] This Morning for being so amazing and guiding me through. Thank you to [Cat and Ben] for being so kind and welcoming." Fiongal and Jamie are said to have been died in the plane crash this week. As it was previously reported, the duo posted a clip from Ahmedabad airport moments before getting on the plane. Fellow Made In Chelsea star Alex Mytton also paid tribute amid reports Jamie and Fiongal died in the crash. Tagging his girlfriend Helen Wood, Alex wrote: "A bit lost for words and feeling a tad emotionally exhausted so I just want to write a short message so as to get the message out. "Our lovely friends Fiongal & Jamie were very sadly killed yesterday in the plane crash in India. There's a lot more I want to say about them, as they were very close to @Hannah_woood & I's heart but right now I just wanted to say that if anybody wants to meet up tomorrow if they're feeling heavy, sad or just wanna hang out with some other humans I'm gonna be organising a little meet up & hug in the park or along the lines (sorry not making loads of sense atm). "It feels like there's a lot of sadness and pain at the moment and just wanted to do something as a vigil to our friends but also for everything else going on at the moment. "So please if you're feeling down or even just up for hanging out or just saying hey, it'll be a bunch of us just chatting and chilling in the park."
