Ruth Langsford and Eamonn Holmes have called time on their 14-year marriage.The couple, known for their fiery exchanges on screen, often engaged in sharp banter that was a staple of their public persona, even during live TV appearances.Despite the playful nature of most of their interactions, there have been instances where the tension seemed to be more than just playful sparring.In a joint statement shared today, they announced: "Ruth Langsford and Eamonn Holmes have confirmed their marriage is over and they are in the process of divorcing."
