RUTH Langsford put on a brave face on Loose Women today, just hours after it was revealed that Eamonn Holmes is planning on moving in with his new girlfriend, Katie Alexander.
Ruth and Eamonn shocked the nation in May when they revealed they had split up after 14 years of marriage.
And now it’s been revealed that Eamonn and his new lady, marriage counsellor Katie, will be moving in together.
Taking big steps in their romance, a source close to the relationship counsellor told The Sun: “Katie’s assured him she's in it for the long haul and they’re both settling down nicely.
“They’ve been spending so much time at his Kingston flat that they’re even looking to move in together permanently.”
Despite this, Ruth appeared in good spirits today as she took up her usual spot on the Loose Women panel.

The 64-year-old star was smiley and upbeat as she returned to live TV just hours after the Eamonn news.
A source said: “It's a difficult time for Ruth but she is super professional so she would never let viewers see how she was feeling inside.
“She put on her biggest smile and was laughing and joking around. She knows the show must go on so she leaves her personal life at the door when she is at work."
Eamonn recently jetted off to Spain with his new lady on Sunday, as they headed on a cruise.

And a source continued to tell The Sun of Eamonn’s plans to move in with Katie: “Eamonn doesn’t want to stay in his rented place as it’s too small, too expensive and, without air conditioning, gets very hot.
“It’s on the basement floor as well, with people looking in as they walk past all the time so isn’t private enough for them.
“With that in mind, they’re really keen to move into a bigger place in the country with lots of land.
“Katie will obviously be there to care for Eamonn as he grows older and thinks it’s best to do that somewhere without prying eyes.”
Ruth and Eamonn - who share son Jack - first got together in 1996 and tied the knot in 2010.
And Eamonn moved out of their Surrey home after the split.
