It came after the lovebirds shared a cute selection of snaps following a happy day at the park this weekend.

Katie has taken to her account to admit 2024 had been "the year of hell" with "lies about me and death threats from people who have never met me."

She added: "Not only did my mental health suffer but also my childrens' did.

"One thing I don't do it forget.

"But a huge thank you to my friends and family who know me, and the truth, and have supported me through the past year."

Her stark admission comes as Eamonn, 65, is in the midst of a divorce from ex Ruth Langsford, also 65, and a battle over their £3.6million home.

The divorcing Loose Women star has been granted a severance of joint tenancy of the six-bed pile they bought in 2014.

The move, revealed in public documents, means that if Ruth were to die her share of the house in Weybridge, Surrey, would not go to her former spouse Eamonn, with whom she shares son Jack.

GOING STRONG

Meanwhile, Katie's relationship with Eamonn appears to be going from strength to strength.

A source told The Sun on Sunday: “Eamonn is smitten with Katie’s appearance.

HEALTH WOE

Katie's admission came after a tough week for her man.

Eamonn sparked fears among his followers after he posted a heartbreaking update on his health to social media.

He vowed to "redouble my efforts" to walk again after being confined to a wheelchair.

In his bittersweet caption alongside a snap showing him looking svelte from 2022 he wrote: Great picture popped up from 3 years but it’s made me sad - I could walk."

The telly favourite added: "Got to redouble my efforts."

Eamonn's wellbeing was also a cause for concern after he opened up on the horror injuries he suffered while falling off a chair during his GB News Breakfast Show slot.

The Belfast-born journalist had a double hip replacement in 2016 yet has been suffering from chronic pain since a follow-up spinal operation in September 2022.
