Eamonn Holmes gave fans a bit of a job update on Sunday in his latest Instagram post – but some of his eagle-eyed social media followers were more focused on one detail of the photo he shared.

Uploading an image of himself smiling alongside fellow GB News presenter Anne Diamond, the broadcaster wrote: "Called into present Extra this morning and what a pleasure it turned out to be with the legend that is Anne Diamond . Great response from you on a lot of the subjects we covered. See u in the Morning! [sunshine emojis]." 

One of his followers was quick to respond, commenting: "He's still wearing his wedding ring," and adding a shocked face emoji.

Eamonn and Ruth's shock split

The former couple surprised fans in May when they announced they were in the process of getting a divorce after 14 years of marriage. 

At the time, a spokeswoman told HELLO!: "Ruth Langsford and Eamonn Holmes have confirmed their marriage is over and they are in the process of divorcing."

Of their wedding, Eamonn told HELLO! at the time: "Ruth and I have always known we're good together and she knows I love her more today than ever. 

"This is our chance to seal that properly and to say to the people we care about and those we've got to know well over the years, 'Come and share this special day with us. Come and enjoy a big old hooley!'" 

They share a 22-year-old son, Jack, who is studying at university. Eamonn also has three children, Declan, Rebecca and Niall, from his first marriage.

Eamonn's health struggles

"He does the physio, but there might have to be some acceptance that this might never be 100% right. With any care situation - and there are millions of carers in this country - it isn’t always easy. It's testing but we manage as a family."
