Ruth Langsford ‘calls in a “fierce” divorce lawyer’

Ruth Langsford has hired a ‘fierce’ divorce lawyer amid her bitter split from estranged husband Eamonn Holmes, as the GB News presenter was seen cheekily grabbing his new lover Katie Alexander’s bottom in Ibiza yesterday. 

As reported by The Sun, Catherine Costley has been called up by Loose Women host Ruth, 64, who seeks to end her 14-year marriage to Eamonn, also 64, with a financial settlement.

Ms Costley is known for her fierce approach to divorce settlements and has said all women should have a ‘go bag’ fund when exiting a relationship, according to The Sun. 

The divorce lawyer was once an apprentice of ‘Steel Magnolia’ Baroness Fiona Shackleton, Britain’s highest-profile divorce lawyer who famously represented Charles in his split from Diana in 1996. 

Baronness Shackleton has also worked with A-list stars including Paul McCartney, Liam Gallagher and Madonna, and was once doused with water in court by a furious Heather Mills while representing the Beatles legend during the couple’s divorce in 2008.

This comes as Eamonn proved he was very much enjoying his new romance with his relationship counsellor girlfriend Katie, 42, after the pair jetted off for a luxury holiday together. 

The getaway reportedly left Eamonn’s estranged wife Ruth shocked, with the holiday occurring just four months after the former golden couple announced they were divorcing.

However, Eamonn – who was still wearing his wedding ring – put all thoughts of his wife behind him as he got to grips with his new love’s behind.

The broadcaster looked smitten as he gazed up at his girlfriend, who looked stunning in a leggy black mini dress. 

The Northern Irish presenter has been open about his new relationship with the pair pictured enjoying two holidays together over the summer. 

In May, Ruth and Eamonn were said to be in the process of divorcing’ after work commitments ‘took their marriage in different directions’.

A spokesperson for the couple said: ‘Ruth Langsford and Eamonn Holmes have confirmed their marriage is over and they are in the process of divorcing.’

Eamonn and Ruth, who wed in 2010 after 13 years together, are ‘determined to stay friends and keep things amicable’.

Ruth Langsford’s team declined to comment when contacted by MailOnline.
