Ruth Langsford had the perfect response to a troll who branded her ‘sad’ on her Instagram page after her split from Eamonn Holmes.

The Loose Women panellist, 64, shared a clip of herself making a fish dish inspired by a holiday in Spain in an advertisement for Tesco.

However, one of her followers criticised Ruth’s venture in the comments section, writing: ‘Ruth is better than this ridiculous advertising. Sad to watch.’

The former This Morning presenter riposted: ‘Feel free to unfollow if this is making you sad.’

The user then backtracked and told Ruth she ‘lover her posts normally’ and praised her chemistry with QVC co-host Jackie Kabler.

‘For some reason, these Tesco posts seem odd so I’ll stick to your other lovely posts. Sorry if I seemed harsh, as I wish you well and didn’t intend to offend,’ they added.

Ruth graciously accepted their apology and said: ‘No offence taken and good to hear you enjoy our shows on QVC….thanks for watching x..’

Earlier this year, it was announced Ruth and Eamonn, 64, had split after 14 years marriage.

Ruth has not publicly addressed the split but has been praised by her Loose Women co-star Coleen Nolan for being ‘dignified.’

Expressing her admiration for Ruth, Coleen explained: ‘I don’t want to say too much because it’s not my business to say Ruth’s life, but what I will say from a friend’s point of view is, I’ve never met anyone that has handled something with so much dignity and pride.’

‘She’s just such a lady, more of a lady then I’ll ever be, I would’ve spilled my guts right now – as I do, that’s my problem, I say too much. She’s been absolutely amazing, she really has,’ she added when speaking to Woman Magazine.

Since their split, Eamonn has gone public with his new girlfriend Katie Alexander, 42 and taken her on a luxury Mediterranean cruise and a trip to Ireland.

A source previously told The Sun: ‘The cruise is just the latest proof of their closeness.

‘Katie has been telling pals she and Eamonn are going to be for keeps — and now everyone is starting to believe her.

‘Eamonn’s zest for her – the latest being this trip – has wowed Ruth and pals. He has found a new lease of life for sure. Everyone is amazed.’

It’s reported that Eamonn grew close to relationship counsellor Katie, who he reportedly first met on social media in 2015, after his split from Ruth.

After their holidays, it was claimed Ruth had hired a ‘fierce’ divorce lawyer.

Ruth and Eamonn married in 2010, 13 years after they first started dating, and share a son called Jack, who was born in 2002.
