Eamonn Holmes is facing scrutiny after posing with a younger actress after his split from Loose Women star, Ruth Langsford. Eamonn has been labelled by fans as ‘disrespectful’ as he posed with Hollywood star, Kate Beckinsdale.

Eamonn posted the snap on social media days after returning to the UK following a romantic holiday with his new girlfriend, Katie Alexander. They've been all smiles on their latest jaunt in sunny Ibiza, just as news surfaced of Ruth enlisting the help of a formidable divorce lawyer. Now, Eamonn has posted a snap of himself with his arm around actress Kate, 51.

He’s been struggling and Kate has been really really poorly and them meeting has put a smile on their faces. Be happy for them, you twisted people!"

A second agreed: "Good lord there are so many disgusting nasty comments about Eamonn. It’s his life no one knows what happened and quite frankly it’s no one’s business either."
