Ruth Langsford is said to have hired a fierce lawyer as she prepares to divorce husband Eamonn Holmes. The Loose Women presenter, 64, split from the GB News host, also 64, back in May. Since then, Eamonn has moved on with his new girlfriend Katie Alexander, 42. The new couple have been holidaying together on a lavish cruise, which had left his estranged wife Ruth ‘gobsmacked’. Last week, Eamonn was seen in an electric wheelchair at Heathrow Airport before the new couple then landed in Barcelona, Spain, to board Virgin Voyager’s luxurious cruise. They were seen looking cosy with each other today in Ibiza, as news Ruth has hired a fierce divorce lawyer broke. The TV star is said to have hired Catherine Costley, who is a protegee of Baroness Fiona Shackleton. She was worked under top divorce lawyer Baroness Shackleton, who represented King Charles in his split from Princess Diana as well as Sir Paul McCartney. Ms Costley has said all women should have a “go bag” secret fund when exiting relationships quickly, according to the Sun. Ruth reportedly turned to Ms Costley several months ago as her 14 year marriage with Eamonn came to an end. Eamonn’s luxury trip has reportedly left Ruth and her friends “gobsmacked”. Speaking of their romantic holiday, a source told The Sun: “The cruise is just the latest proof of their closeness. Katie has been telling pals she and Eamonn are going to be for keeps — and now everyone is starting to believe her.” They added: “Eamonn’s zest for her — the latest being this all-expenses-paid trip — has wowed Ruth and pals. He has found a new lease of life for sure. Everyone is amazed.” Eamonn and Katie first met in 2015 when her comment on a social media post generated a conversation between the pair. There’s no suggestion of any overlap between the relationships, although it has been reported Eamonn and Ruth’s marriage came to an end after she was “devastated” to find messages from another woman on his laptop. On Friday, Eamonn was seen grabbing his girlfriend’s bum as they explored Ibiza. Eamonn was seen with his hand on Katie’s back – and bum – as they made their way off the boat. Katie looked very glamorous wearing a black cocktail dress and sky high stilettos clutching a £850 Loewe raffia bag. They were then whisked off with some pals where they enjoyed their night at a restaurant with red wine on the menu at £500, according to The Sun. Ruth has stayed in the UK and appeared to have received the support of their son Jack. She revealed he ordered her a curry when she returned from work and shared a video showing all the food items he bought for her. The Loose Women star said: “So my son ordered my takeaway, so it was here when I got home. Love him for that. So I’ve gone for curry, chicken bhuna, it’s my fave because I like curry with loads of sauce. Which rice, do you think? Just plain, I like really plain rice. And then in here my favourite side dish, saag aloo, spinach and potatoes. And then you’ve got to have poppadoms.” Ruth’s representatives declined to comment when approached by the Mirror.
