Eamonn, who was in a self-drive electric wheelchair amid his crippling back problems, looked particularly enamored with the blonde beauty as he playfully grazed her behind.

‘Ruth is shocked by how open Eamonn is being about his relationship, after all they both still have their wedding rings on’
Revealing the real reason the estranged couple haven’t removed their rings, they added: ‘Neither of them want to be the first to take it off because they don’t want to look like they’re to blame for the split.’
In contrast, Eamonn is said to be ‘smitten’ with his new love.
Speaking about the presenter and Katie’s holiday plans, the source shared: ‘They both love cruises and they feel like they can be free onboard to act how they want. They are both smitten.’
When approached by MailOnline, Ruth’s representatives declined to comment and Eamonn’s representatives did not respond to comment.
The holiday comes after Katie denied claims she’s set to move in with the broadcaster.
The pair were reported to be house-hunting together just four months after their blossoming romance began.
However, Katie’s representatives have exclusively told MailOnline this is not the case.
The rumours were sparked after a source told The Sun: ‘Katie’s assured him she’s in it for the long haul and they’re both settling down nicely.’

Eamonn and Ruth, who wed in 2010 after 13 years together, are ‘determined to stay friends and keep things amicable’.
