With the festive period drawing to a close for another year, Ruth Langsford is looking ahead to 2025. Taking to her Instagram Stories on Sunday, the Loose Women star shared her anticipation for the new year as she posted a snap of her festive kitchenware, including tablecloths and tea towels hanging from a drying rack, all washed and ready for next Christmas.Â
âSo thatâs Christmas 2024 done then!â penned the 64-year-old. âBring it on 2025!!!â
Ruth is no doubt looking forward to turning over a new leaf in 2025 after a tough few months. The presenter announced her divorce from her husband of 14 years, Eamonn Holmes, in May. A spokesperson told HELLO! at the time: âRuth Langsford and Eamonn Holmes have confirmed their marriage is over and they are in the process of divorcing.â
The former couple share a son Jack, 22, and were based in a ÂŁ3.25m mansion in Weybridge, Surrey, with their adorable dog, Maggie, which Ruth continues to live in.Â
Six months after the announcement, Ruth told Woman&Home that she what she most wants in life is âhappinessâ for her son Jack. âWhen you have children, you look at them starting out in life and you just want everything to be good for them, for them to be happy and to not have their hearts broken,â explained the TV star. âYou canât guarantee any of that, but thatâs what I want most for Jack,â she added.Â
Itâs been a difficult year for Ruth for more reasons than one. Her beloved mum Joan suffered a fall in December and fractured her pelvis. Ruth joined her 94-year-old mum, who lives with Alzheimerâs disease, in hospital on Boxing Day and took her a slice of Christmas cake before keeping her company whilst she did her crossword puzzle.Â
Sharing the news of her mumâs fall on social media at the time, Ruth penned: âNo dancing in my kitchen peeling the veg for my darling Mum this ChristmasâŠ. Sheâs had a fall and fractured her pelvis! Sheâs OKâŠish, no surgery required thank goodness, but she needs rest and time to heal now. Sheâs in hospital at the moment, but Iâm hoping to get her home soon.
âThis time last year, she fell and broke her hip but recovered well⊠Sheâs a very strong woman, so Iâm sure sheâll recover from this too. Puts life and whatâs important into perspective, eh? Happy Christmas!â
