Coleen Nolan and other Loose Women panellists call for co-star Ruth Langsford to do Celebs Go Dating
Loose Women panellists Coleen Nolan, Kelle Bryan and Brenda Edwards think E4's Celebs Go Dating could be a way for their co-star Ruth Langsford to find happiness again following her split from Eamonn Holmes in May 2024 after 14 years of marriage and being together for 27 years.
Coleen Nolan, Kelle Bryan and Brenda Edwards want Ruth Langsford to sign up for Celebs Go Dating.
In May 2024, former This Morning co-hosts Ruth and Eamonn Holmes shocked the nation with their breakup announcement after 14 years of marriage and being together for 27 years, with the pair now in the process of divorcing.
Eamonn, 66, has since found love with counsellor Katie Alexander, 43, but Ruth, 66, has remained single, but her Loose Women co-stars Kelle, Brenda and Coleen think E4's Celebs Go Dating - which the latter is on the new series - may find Ruth joy again.
Coleen, 61, told the new issue of Woman's Own magazine: "We've nominated her to do it."
Brenda, 57, agreed: "She should do it."
Kelle, 51, noted: "She'll be like, 'Why would you say that?!'"
Brenda wants to see how Ruth would perform on dates.
She said: "I think she'd be very funny. I'd love to see all the questions she'd ask."
In March, Ruth insisted that she has not been "put off men", but is not currently looking for love.
Appearing on an episode of Fearne Cotton's Happy Place podcast, the star said: "Everyone's obsessed with, 'Well, have you been dating? Have you got friends to set you up?' Literally no, I don't mind saying.
"I haven't been put off by men, haven't been put off love, haven't been put off marriage.
"But am I looking, am I on the apps? Absolutely no."
Ruth sought therapy after she split from Eamonn, admitting to having "cried so much".
Ruth explained: "She said, 'I only saw the top of your head for the first three sessions,' because I was crying so much.
"But one of the first things she said to me was, 'Your marriage is over.' It was quite blunt. I said, 'I know,' and she said, 'Well, until you accept that, you're not going to find it easy to move on.'
"That stuck with me. Once you accept it, and go, 'The fight's over, isn't it?'"
She declared the sessions as the "best thing" she has "ever done".
Ruth added: "The thing with therapy is that she doesn't know us. Yes, she's seen Eamonn and I on the TV, but she doesn't know us at all. She doesn't take sides at all, she just lets me talk and leads you in certain directions.
"I was doing it once a week, sometimes twice a week and now it's much less but still there. She says I can call her anytime, and I always have her words, these little mantras in."
