The pair, parents to an adult son named Jack, are 'determined to stay friends and keep things amicable', according to their joint statement.It's believed that Eamonn has left their £3.2million Weybridge, Surrey home following a turbulent couple of years behind the scenes.

A variety of factors reportedly contributed to their split, including Eamonn's bouts of depression during his struggle with chronic back pain.A friend of the couple allegedly told MailOnline about Eamonn's health woes: "Ruth has become more his carer than a wife.

Eamonn has been thoroughly miserable." They suggested that Eamonn had grown "more and more grumpy" and eventually it began to bring Ruth "down more than she could accept", reports the Mirror.
