Inside Eamonn Holmes' three years of hell: From losing his mother, job and home to his agonising health battle and split from wife Ruth Langsford as he breaks silence on shock divorce


The former This Morning hosts, both 64, revealed they are headed for divorce on Saturday after work commitments 'took their marriage in different directions'.

The TV presenter admitted he feels 'bitter' about having to sell his house after losing two appeals against HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) which set him back 'hundreds of thousands of pounds in legal fees'. Speaking in an interview with his former UTV colleague Gerry Kelly, due to be screened next month, Eamonn claimed tax officials ruled he was a staff member with broadcasters rather than freelance. Fans of the pair - a familiar sight on This Morning for 15 years - have been poring over past remarks they have made on relationships, including on couples who stay friends after breaking up.
