Eamonn Holmes has made a return to social media for the first time since it was announced he and wife Ruth Langsford are set to divorce after 14 years of marriage.
TV’s golden couple revealed the news via a spokesperson yesterday, but they are yet to personally address fans via social media. Eamonn did, however, post on Instagram yesterday after Manchester United won the FA Cup.
Unfortunately the post attracted some nasty comments and his fans rushed to defend him over it.
Eamonn Holmes returns to social media
On Saturday May 25, hours after confirming his split with Ruth, Eamonn posted on Instagram. Manchester United had just beaten Manchester City 2-1 in the FA Cup Final.
Avid Manchester United fan Eamonn, shared a portrait of him and former manager Sir Alex Ferguson. He captioned the image: “My God, what a Cup Final, what a result! #MUFC European football next season too. The Magic of The Cup. Congratulations to the whole squad.”
However many fans were not impressed with his post and took the opportunity to question him over his relationship. Some expressed their sadness at the split news, while others wished Eamonn well.
However one comment in particular angered some fans when a follower wrote: “Awwww poor Ruth, what did you do?”
Eamonn defenders immediately hit back to defend the GB News presenter.
“On what planet do you think it is ok to write this on someone’s post. You don’t know them and this is a disgusting thing to write! Grow up,” said one.
Another added: “Their private life is nothing to do with us, what makes you think you’re so entitled? The post is about the football, let’s keep it at that.”
“Eamon posted a football photo, why has no one got respect and NOT bought his personal life on this feed. Disgraceful!” commented a third.
A fourth agreed: “’’”
