GB News presenter Eamonn Holmes has thanked TV personality Kerry Katona for her support in a touching moment.
It follows Eamonn and his ex-wife Ruth Langsford issuing a joint statement to confirm their separation.
Eamonn and Ruth’s representatives published a statement on May 25, which read: “Ruth Langsford and Eamonn Holmes have confirmed their marriage is over and they are in the process of divorcing.”
Following a debate on GB News, Katona took the opportunity before signing off to wish Eamonn well, blowing him a kiss.
