OHMYGOSSIP — Ruth Langsford took home more than £2 million in 2021, according to financial records.
The ‘Loose Women’ anchor earnt £2,092,863 in 2021, according to tax records for her personal limited company Hey Ho Ltd, despite the 62-year-old star and her husband Eamonn Holmes, also 62, being replaced as the Friday presenters on ‘This Morning’, with Dermot O’Leary and Alison Hammond stepping into the couple’s shoes.
Ruth and Eamonn also used to co-host the show during school holidays in place of main presenters Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield.
A source told The Sun newspaper’s TV Biz column: “Ruth has had the last laugh here. She’s proven the talk wrong that she and Eamonn were pale and stale. Her pay from ITV might not be as high as Holly and Phil’s but her earning power outside of the show is vast.
“She has her gig on shopping channel QVC which is huge, plus her work on ‘Loose Women’.”
Ruth is also said to be in demand for commercial work.
The source added: “Now she is free to make even more shows for other channels. Plus she is always asked to sign up for commercial work and has appeared in adverts for everything from blood circulation boosters to bingo games.”
Ruth – who has competed on ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ – was supportive of her husband Eamonn, the father of their son Jack, 19, recently relocating to the GB News, saying that he “can turn his hand to anything”.
On his ‘This Morning’ departure, Eamonn recently labelled ITV as “sly”.
Last weekend, he said: “They’re sly. They didn’t want to announce that I’d been dropped because it would adversely affect audience figures, so they made it look as if I’d walked away from them rather than the other way round.”
