Eamonn Holmes blasted over 'hurtful move' after Ruth Langsford split
Eamonn Holmes has been labelled as "inappropriate" due to his "hurtful" song choice in a recent video where he teamed up with an S Club star. The 64 year old broadcaster, who recently enjoyed a getaway with his new 42 year old girlfriend Katie Alexander, has faced some challenging times following his split from wife Ruth Langsford earlier this year. However, fans have criticised him for bursting out in song with the 'weird' choice of Blue Christmas in a promotional video for a pet fundraiser alongside friend Jo O'Meara. Some have called out his song choice, suggesting it was insensitive towards his ex-wife Ruth. Ruth is reportedly still coming to terms with Eamonn moving on so swiftly after their marriage ended, while she's adjusting to her new single status.
One fan commented: "Maybe he's trying to say something, it will be a blue Christmas without Ruth." Another remarked: "That's a bit weird." A third added: "Very inappropriate song very hurtful have some respect." Eamonn has been at the centre of controversy lately, with his recent holiday with Katie leading to a storm of social media backlash.
Fans have not hesitated to share their dismay on Instagram. One person said: "He lost such a lady." Still, some fans support the GB News presenter, and Eamonn's been spotted appreciating the support online.

A fan encouraged positivity: "Keep it positive people or scroll on? It's easy. Stop being so hateful to make yourself feel better! You don't know the facts???" Another chimed in with a call for kindness: "Everyone learn to be kind comments on here. Just leave him alone."
Some followers aren't entertaining negativity, stating: "Not interested in stupid comments," while another demanded: "So many nasty comments! If you can't say anything nice say nothing at all.."
Amid the social media storm, Ruth, along with her friends, are said to be absolutely stunned by his choices; especially the bold move of going public with his new partner on holiday.
A source disclosed to The Sun just how serious Katie is about their relationship, explaining: "The cruise is just the latest proof of their closeness. Katie has been telling pals she and Eamonn are going to be for keeps - and now everyone is starting to believe her."
They continued: "Eamonn's zest for her - the latest being this all-expenses-paid trip - has wowed Ruth and pals. He has found a new lease of life for sure. Everyone is amazed."
