Eamonn Holmes appeared to be caught in a poignant moment on GB News this morning (August 7) as he delved into the emotional world of animals. The veteran broadcaster, who parted ways with his wife Ruth Langsford earlier this year, engaged in a heartfelt discussion about how animals can sense distress and exhibit profound affection. During the conversation with co-host Isabel Webster, they touched upon research indicating that cats can mourn the loss of their animal companions.
Eamonn, seemingly lost in contemplation, glanced down at his hands, his expression tinged with melancholy. He remarked: "I think it's fascinating how we are being shown and educated the feelings of animals and that they know and can sense when things are wrong and they show and can demonstrate lots and lots of love as well." Isabel chimed in with a personal story about her own cat giving her the cold shoulder" after she returns from a trip.
Eamonn, clasping his hands and inadvertently concealing the wedding band he still wore, queried humorously: "In a huff?" Both Eamonn and Ruth frequently post about their beloved dog, Maggie, on their respective social media platforms. Reports have surfaced suggesting that the ex-couple is facing "difficult conversations" over the custody of their cherished canine as they approach the final stages of their separation, reports the Express . An insider previously revealed to the media: "Maggie is like a daughter to them.
They dote on her. But she's getting on and they know she needs stability. "It's a case of who can give her that.
Eamonn adores her and Maggie's been such a support during his health woes." They continued: "The thought of giving her up is heartbreaking to him. But if Ruth is able to get out and about and walk her more, then it may well be that she gets Maggie in the split.
" The beloved 14-year-old canine has recently had a vet operation to remove a lump, with Ruth taking to social media to post updates and charming photos of Maggie recuperating at home. This followed Eamonn sharing a tender photo with Maggie, with the caption: "A lot of you wondering about Maggie. She's had an op to remove a growth.
All well. Not bad for a 14-year-old! In fact she's in better shape than me." Follow Mirror Celebs and TV on Snapchat , Instagram , Twitter , Facebook , YouTube and Threads .
