RUTH Langsford looking absolutely beaming as she brushes off her split from Eamonn Holmes for a night out on the town. The Loose Women star, 64, looked glam in an all-black outfit and leopard print coat as she stepped out to meet friends for dinner in Manchester. With her signature blonde bob and a small black handbag over her shoulder, Ruth looked in good spirits as she arrived at the restaurant.

She looked cool and casual as she smiled at onlookers before heading inside. Noticeably, Ruth was still wearing her wedding ring despite her split from husband Eamonn in May. The pair had been together for 23 years and married for 14 before they shockingly announced they had gone their separate ways.

While initially seeming to keep things amicable between them, Eamonn, 64, showing off a new love with 42-year-old girlfriend, Katie Alexander, seems to have soured their cordial break-up. Now Ruth is embracing a brand new look and lease on life as she moves on from the relationship. Eamonn has already been seen on holiday with new girlfriend Katie Alexander , with friends reportedly claiming that she is "the one" for him.

Ruth has now lawyered up with "fierce" divorce attorney, Catherine Costley in order to navigate a financial settlement and officially end their marriage. Costley is a protegee of Baroness Fiona Shackleton, who was enlisted by Paul McCartney in his break-up. The big-gun legal eagle has worked under the country’s top divorce lawyer, “Steel Magnolia” Baroness Fiona .
