Ruth Langsford reveals glamorous makeover after Eamonn Holmes moves on with new girlfriend Katie Alexander
The TV star hit back at criticism from online trolls
RUTH Langsford showed off her glam new hairdo tonight as she continues to move on after her split from husband Eamonn Holmes.
The TV star, 64, looked younger than her years as she was given a fresh ‘do by stylist Leo Bancroft.
Pleased with his work, Ruth wrote: “The master at work.”
She smiled as she filmed Leo running his fingers through her textured blond hair.
The pamper session comes days after Ruth hit back at an online troll who branded her social media content “sad”.
The Loose Women anchor shared a clip of herself preparing a Mediterranean-inspired dish at home and revealed it was an ad for Tesco.
One fan took issue with it and wrote: “Ruth is better than this ridiculous advertising. Sad to watch.”
The presenter replied: “Feel free to unfollow if this is making you sad.”
Prior to that she explained to followers why she is still wearing her wedding ring despite her split from husband Eamonn earlier this year.
One follower questioned why she hadn’t removed the ring as she prepared a green juice.
To which Ruth replied: “Because I am still married.”
And Ruth was also quick to fire back when she was branded a “show off” after taking her followers on a day out for some posh pampering.
Last month she told followers how her hairdresser’s Notting Hill salon was being refurbished so her hair appointment was instead taking place at Claridge’s Hotel.
Some fans were quick to blast her as a “total show off” and one added: “You are so lucky. Most people could not afford that.”
But Ruth quipped: “No luck… I’ve worked hard for everything I have.”
Meanwhile Eamonn, 64, recently enjoyed a holiday with new girlfriend Katie Alexander, 42.
The telly veteran, who is now reliant on a mobility scooter, was accused of faking social media posts today after sharing a snap in his car.
Fans claimed he was simply reusing pics from earlier in the year, to which he responded by sharing a pic of him eating a bacon bap.
