Ruth and Eamonn first met in 1997

RUTH Langsford is still wearing her wedding ring – despite Eamonn Holmes moving on with his new girlfriend.

The TV legends announced their split in May after 14 years of marriage.

In the last year, Eamonn has grown close with relationship counsellor Katie Alexander, 42, and they have started spending a lot of time together.

But Ruth, who has said there was “no going back” on their relationship, has refused to take her diamond sparkler off.

She nipped to the salon and treated herself to a new hairstyle, videoing the entire process for her followers.

As she held her phone in her left hand, her wedding ring was visible in the mirror.

She had extensions added and her hair gently curled into soft waves, which fans loved and said how young she looked.

“10 years younger instantly! Love it,” one wrote.

“Stunning Ruth! You look radiant and younger!” agreed a second.

“Love it Ruth, you look fabulous,” chimed a third.

Sources told OK! Magazine that Ruth has made a conscious decision to keep her ring firmly on her finger.

“Ruth has been trying her best to be respectful to Eamonn for the sake of both their families and especially Jack.

“She is still wearing her wedding ring and doesn’t feel right taking it off at the moment and she wanted to be as respectful as possible and does not want to invite any more speculation about their situation,” they added.

Ruth was said to be left “in tears” recently after Katie was spotted with a ring on her wedding finger.

“Seeing Eamonn’s new woman wearing an engagement ring over the weekend really upset her, not because of Eamonn moving on, but because she finds it hard having their marriage and split back in the limelight again,” the source added.

The Sun contacted Ruth’s rep for comment.

Eamonn has reportedly sent Ruth a reassuring message after pictures of Katie with a ring on circulated.

Beaming Katie was spotted running errands near the TV star’s home, showing off the sparkler.

Katie has denied it was an engagement ring and insists they’re not engaged.

A source told MailOnline: “There are other people in this and I know Eamonn had to message Ruth to say there was nothing in the engagement speculation.

“Katie just wants to get it over and done with but Eamonn is less keen because he doesn’t want to hurt Ruth’s feelings.”

Eamonn and Ruth met all the way back in 1997 and started dating that year, but only made their relationship known in 1999.

The pair – who tied the knot in 2010 – welcomed son Jack into the world in 2002.
