The split between GB News host Eamonn Holmes and Loose Women star Ruth Langsford has taken a financial toll, with their joint company now in the red, owing a staggering £250,000 in debt. After 27 years together and 14 years of marriage, the couple announced their separation in May 2024 – and now the aftermath is starting to surface.
Despite their personal separation, Eamonn and Ruth continue to co-own and run their company, which was originally set up in 2009. However, recent accounts filed with Companies House reveal the financial struggles they are facing, with £251,029 in bills due. The firm now faces £47,974 in debt, which must be repaid within a year.
