Ruth didn't address her split from Eamonn during the show, despite reports that she would break her silence.

Ruth and Eamonn, 64, confirmed their divorce back in May, with a spokesperson telling HELLO!: "Ruth Langsford and Eamonn Holmes have confirmed their marriage is over and they are in the process of divorcing."

Eamonn and Ruth are known for their long-running on-screen partnership, having presented ITV's This Morning together between 2006 and 2021.

While it's been two years since the pair have been publicly seen together, Ruth has been helping rehabilitate Eamonn as he continues physiotherapy for his mobility issues.

"I don't know how much Eamonn's mobility will improve. We live in hope," the Loose Women star previously told Women's Weekly.

"He does the physio, but there might have to be some acceptance that this might never be 100% right. With any care situation - and there are millions of carers in this country - it isn’t always easy. It’s testing but we manage as a family."

She added: "I look at Eamonn, who's had his health and back problems, and it makes you realise how important your health is."

Ruth and Eamonn began dating back in 1997 before tying the knot over a decade later at The Elvetham hotel in Hampshire on 26 June 2010.

Eamonn told HELLO! at the time: "Ruth and I have always known we're good together and she knows I love her more today than ever. This is our chance to seal that properly and to say to the people we care about and those we've got to know well over the years, 'Come and share this special day with us. Come and enjoy a big old hooley!'"
