Not keen on either of them but I didn’t realise they d only been married 14 years I wrongly presumed it was a longer marriage they seem to have been around for ever
Ahh well it didn’t work so join the many millions of failed marriages

Can't believe that this totally unimportant piece of gossip is either news or politics. Tbh who cares? More suited to the chat thread?!

Oh that is really sad news. Eamonn is super friendly. My cousin owns a big travel company and Eamonn used to book all his travel through them and all the staff loved him because he was polite and down to earth and always thanked them for their help.

He has spoken many times about how his back problems, failed op and then a fall have impacted on his life as he is still in great pain. He also spoke about how supportive Ruth is.

I would have thought a trial separation might have been a good idea. I imagine Ruth is quite worn down by her new caring role.

He is very good on GB News.

I like them both but I think they’ve been growing apart for years. Eammon said he doesn’t feel that Surrey is his home but Ruth wouldn’t move to Ireland.
Maybe he will now. I hope they’re both much happier eventually.

I met them a few years ago and they were both friendly, Eamonn more so.

Not a fan of either of them. He always struck me as being a whinger. It is unfortunate they have come to the parting of the ways though, especially as he seems to be having significant health issues.

Aah that’s a shame, I preferred them to Phil & Holly on This Morning. (My guilty pleasure whilst ironing 🧺)

i always felt he was punching above his weight.
he seemed grumpy to me.
she seemed pleasant, on the ball, alert and engaging.
but to be fair, i hardly ever see them, esp him, on tv.

Such a shame.

Sad. No one gets married to get divorced do they?. They’re hoping to stay friends and keep things amicable. Such a nice couple.
