Loose Women host Ruth Langsford enjoyed a sweet reunion with three of her longtime friends in recent days.

As the weather brightened up in the UK following her very public split from Eamonn Holmes.

The 64-year-old broadcaster shared a few smiley selfies in light of her 1.1 million social media followers on her Instagram story on Sunday.

With the women looking happy and carefree.

The pictures were of Ruth and her longtime pals grouped together donning sunglasses as they soaked up the rays at an unknown outdoor location and had a much-needed catch-up.

The former This Morning host, who seems to be moving on with her life, captioned the first image uploaded to her story: “Best of Fridays with the best of friends.”

Ruth quipped in another caption added to the bottom of the snap: “Known each other since we were 11… 20 years ago obvs!”

In a second post, she shared a few stickers over a selfie of the four of them which simply said the words “reunion” and “goals”.

They appeared to enjoy a lunchtime table spread complete with an egg salad, bread, olives, prawns and dips before Ruth shared photos from a dog walk, with one little black pooch cooling off in a stream from the heat.

Her upbeat post comes weeks after her split from Eamonn Holmes was made public. They said in a joint statement in May: “After a long tennis match lasting over 20 years, we are finally putting our racquets down. In 2023, we jointly filed to end our marriage. We have always prioritised our privacy, and have been quietly working through this change.”

Eamonn made his first public appearance following the break-up announcement at the TRIC Awards last Tuesday – but he skipped the red carpet and the opportunity to be interviewed.

Eamonn, 64, who used to host This Morning alongside Ruth for many years, needed a walking aid to accept an award on stage at the ceremony for GB News in front of dozens of guests.

However, the GB News star appeared to take a thinly veiled swipe at his ex of 14 years while collecting the accolade for the best daytime television programme.

Referring to his chronic back pain, he told the audience: “I went for an operation a year and a half ago and it went wrong.

He then quipped: “I got two things in my back that I didn’t want.” It is unsure whether he was taking a jibe at Ruth or not.

Eamonn continued: “Thank you very much for this award. We were up against world-class programmes and that makes it a little bit more special. Sometimes we all think about imposter syndrome.”

Ruth didn’t attend the ceremony, held in London’s Mayfair, and Loose Women was not nominated for any awards.

The pair are in the process of divorcing – it was confirmed earlier this summer.
