Ruth Langsford has revealed the “panic” she faced as she appeared to address her split from Eamonn Holmes and leaving a job.
The Loose Women star fronted today’s programme (August 12). On the agenda was a range of topics, including calls to change the term ‘mid-life crisis’. And Ruth didn’t shy away from opening up about how making huge life decisions can feel like a “crisis”.
Since May 2024, Ruth has been embroiled in a messy divorce battle with ex Eamonn Holmes. And there are also fears surrounding the Loose Women panel’s future, with budget cuts looming on the ITV Daytime show.

Ruth Langsford addresses ‘panic’ after Eamonn Holmes split
Discussing what a mid-life crisis actually is, Myleene Klass – who broke down in tears over a tragic death during the episode – explained that she doesn’t think the term a bad thing. But she actually has a completely different name for it.
She expressed: “It’s mid-life clarity. You know who you are and you know what you like.”
Ruth seemed to like this saying, agreeing: “A lot of women say ‘It’s a new chapter and it’s a rebirth’.”
However, despite looking at the positives, Ruth did acknowledge that when making huge life decisions there is a “panic” moment where you are “in crisis”.
She explained: “There is a point where you are in crisis. Whether you have made the decision to end your marriage or have had that decision made for you.
“Or you have lost your job or decided to leave your job. Sometimes you have that moment of panic where you go: ‘Oh no. What is going to happen to me?’”
While Ruth Langsford didn’t directly mention her split from Eamonn Holmes, it was definitely alluded to be about him.
This seemed to be backed up as Coleen Nolan then agreed, explaining: “It’s because it wasn’t what you had planned. Because when you get married and you have your kids you think, oh when they’re this age we can do this. And there was two of you doing everything.”
Throughout the conversation Ruth could be seen nodding along and smiling at Coleen, as though she was in agreement with what she was saying.
