Story summary

Eamonn Holmes' family believes his girlfriend, Katie Alexander, is after his money, according to sources close to the situation. This comes as Ruth Langsford, Holmes's ex-wife and current partner in caring for him at the hospital, has reportedly stepped in to support him following a stroke. Sources claim that while Alexander wishes for Holmes to recover, she feels cast aside by his family and ex-partners who are now more actively involved in his care. The narrative surrounding Alexander is seen as unfair by some insiders, who assert her intentions towards Holmes are genuine and not financially motivated. Holmes's current condition remains critical, with no updates on when he might be discharged from the hospital.

Why this leaning score
