Ruth is out there

FEELS FABULOUS AFTER TOUGH EAMONN SPLIT

- by MARK JEFFERIES

THERE are few clearer signals that you have moved on from a difficult marriage split than bringing out a book called Feeling Fabulous.

But Ruth Langsford makes it clear in the memoir she doesn’t always feel that way and the breakdown of her relationship with Eamonn Holmes took a huge toll on her for many months.

Looking back, the Loose Women star credits close friends and therapy for helping her turn a corner after some tearful and testing days.

She tells us: "Some people cope with things better than others, but when you come through a period of darkness, you feel proud of yourself and you can look back and think, ‘I handled that, I did that.’

"The book talks about how to be your best self no matter what life throws at you, and I do believe we're all stronger than we think."

She also credits her friends for helping her when she hit low points in life. Ruth adds: "Friendships, particularly female friendships, are so important to me.

"There are so many things in my life that I would not have got through without my close friends who literally picked me off the floor and helped me get through."
