Experts reveal one item you should never wear at the gym
When it comes to gym etiquette, there's plenty of advice about what to wear and what to leave at home. But according to jewellers, fitness professionals, and medical experts, there's one item you should always remove before hitting the weights: your wedding or engagement ring. While it might feel unnatural to leave it at home, keeping it on could cause issues like bacteria build-up, injury, or damage to your ring. The impact to your ring Makayla Donovan, co-founder of TMC Fine Jewellers, emphasised the importance of removing your ring at the gym, even if it's sentimental. 'Lifting weights, using resistance equipment, or even doing high-intensity movements can put unnecessary stress on your ring,' she told 'Over time, this can lead to misshaping, scratching, or loosening of stones. It's just not worth the risk, especially with precious metals like gold, which are softer and prone to bending or marking under pressure.' Sweat, dirt, and bacteria that build up at the gym can also dull the ring's finish over time. 'It's something many people overlook, but grime can easily accumulate and go unnoticed, particularly with rings featuring intricate settings,' she said. It could affect your workout Ben Lucas, co-founder of Flow Athletic, agrees and points out that it could have consequences for your workout as well. If a ring spins around on your finger, it can become uncomfortable during certain exercises, he explained. 'This sometimes happens when you're in a plank position, such as plank dumbbell rows or during yoga,' he said. 'You might also cut your hand if you're unlucky, and get blisters from pinching or circulation issues too.' The potential health risks Following this, Dr Zac, a leading GP, warns that wearing your ring at the gym could land you in the ER. 'When you're lifting weights, gripping bars, or doing high-intensity workouts, your ring acts like a friction device,' he said. 'Constant rubbing between your ring and sweaty skin can cause ring rash (also called wedding ring dermatitis).' This is a type of contact dermatitis often triggered by trapped moisture, friction, and dead skin build-up. And if you're not yet convinced, it gets even more alarming. Studies have shown that rings can harbour up to 730 million bacteria, including dangerous strains like Staphylococcus aureus. That's the same bug that causes golden staph infections, some of which are antibiotic-resistant and can be life-threatening. 'If you happen to get a micro-tear in your skin, which is common during workouts, it could be the perfect entry point for infection,' he added. There's also the risk of allergic reactions to metals, especially if your ring is made from nickel or low-quality alloys. And if you're still unconvinced, Dr Zac suggests Googling 'ring avulsion injury' at your own risk. 'It's when the ring gets caught on gym equipment or a weight and rips off the skin or even degloves the finger,' he warned. So, what should you do instead? All the experts recommend leaving your wedding ring at home or in a safe place during your workout. If sentimentality matters, consider a silicone band, which is lightweight, hypo-allergenic, and designed to break away safely under pressure. If you really can't bear to take it off, training gloves provide some protection, but the safest option is to leave your rings at home.

And while Eamonn, 65, has embarked on a new relationship with new girlfriend Katie Alexander, 43, he had continued to wear his gold band on his wedding finger. However, as he hosted Tuesday's edition of GB News alongside co-star Ellie Costello, his ring was noticeably absent from his hand.

But since then, Ruth has resolutely kept her wedding and engagement rings on, even once declaring to a fan that she wouldn't remove them 'because I am still married.' On a recent episode of her ITV show Loose Women though, Ruth revealed the rings were off. Meanwhile, Eamonn's girlfriend Katie Alexander recently addressed a diamond ring on her wedding finger in new post shortly after going 'Instagram official' with their romance. The presenter and marriage guidance counsellor Katie have been dating since mid-2024, with engagement rumours swirling since December.

'I can't put on trainers, I can't change, I can't go to the showers, I can't do things, I can't stand up.

Remember Monday star Holly-Ann Hull shares update on her missing engagement and wedding rings after they disappeared following band's disappointing Eurovision final
Holly-Ann Hull has shared an update after it was reported her engagement and wedding ring had disappeared following her band's disappointing Eurovision loss. The R emember Monday singer, 30, has now revealed that she has been forced to fly home from Basel without her engagement ring which is still missing. While the engagement gift has vanished, Holly-Ann did have some positive news that her wedding ring - which was also missing - has been found. The band had hoped to secure victory for the United Kingdom, but after receiving the dreaded 'nil points' in the public vote, they finished in 19th place. Holly-Ann admitted her 'brain was scattered' following the Eurovision concert and has 'misplaced it'. Speaking on Capital Breakfast with Sian Welby and Jordan North, she said she is 'so upset' because it was somewhere in her hotel room. Holly-Ann explained: 'It's my engagement ring. I found my wedding ring but my engagement ring is gone, and I honestly don't know where it is. 'I'm so upset about it and it's something silly it's in the hotel room. It's not like I went on a wild night out and lost it, it's like I've misplaced it because I'm so silly and my brain was just scattered all over the place'. Sian asked if she was still in Basel and could continue looking for the special ring but Holly-Ann replied: 'No, I'm in my house. I've had to say goodbye to her. I'm just silly.' Presenter Sian attempted to help Holly-Ann and added: 'Yeah, but Holly I'm wondering if you need to go back through your luggage because it's the kind of thing where I bet you thought to yourself 'I'll play it safe and hide it in my shoe.' Or something like that and you'll find it.' It comes hours after Holly-Ann posted an Instagram video the morning after the Eurovision final and told her followers: 'I've lost my wedding ring and my engagement ring.' According to the BBC, the clip showed the singer and her bandmates sat on a plane, preparing to fly home from Switzerland, but Holly-Ann did not share any further details about her missing rings. In the clip, Remember Monday poked fun at the lyrical style of their song What The Hell Just Happened?, singing that they were still wearing 'last night's hair gel' and their knees hurt. Holly-Anne then joked: 'I'm gonna have a breakdown 'cause I've lost my wedding ring.' Lauren Byrne went onto add that the trio are 'so grateful' for their supporters, while Charlotte Steele praised their fans for being 'amazing.' On Sunday, Remember Monday broke their silence hours after their Eurovision heartache. Speaking hours after the final result on Saturday night, Remember Monday vowed this is 'just the beginning' for them, before adding they'll be heading out on the road for a tour this summer, as well as a performance at the Capital Summertime Ball. They said: 'WOW - what a ride! Three best mates walked onto the world's biggest music stage and came out with a Top 10 Jury score, massive streaming numbers, and memories that will last a lifetime. 'Performing at Eurovision was one of the most surreal and emotional moments of our lives. The love we've felt from fans, our incredible team, and everyone who streamed, voted, and believed in us has been overwhelming. 'This is just the beginning for Remember Monday. We've got new music coming your way, a UK & Ireland headline tour this year, a summer packed with festivals, and we'll be hitting the stage at Wembley Stadium for the Summertime Ball… no big deal! 'We're so grateful for the platform, the media support, and every single new fan who's joined us on this wild journey. Eurovision? Completed it. Let's go!' Remember Monday's 88 points were awarded by the Eurovision juries, and saw them in 10th place before the public votes were revealed. However, the announcement that the UK received 'nil points' from audiences saw them plunge down the table, finishing just one spot lower than last year's UK hopeful Olly Alexander. Another silver lining comes in the form of the girls signing a potentially lucrative record deal with Andrew Lloyd Webber. Show commentator Graham Norton had previously tempted fate by boldly claiming the group 'have a great advantage in that they are unlike any other act this year'. 'Their vocals and harmonies are flawless, the song has a very strong hook and the trio are hugely likeable,' he said earlier this month. Despite impressing the juries across Europe, the girl group, received the dreaded 'nil points' from the public vote, finishing far behind winners Austria in a tense finale 'With a decent place in the running order they should do very well indeed.' Norton said that successful acts have good songs that have a 'hook' and 'interesting staging'. He added: 'It doesn't have to be complicated, just clever and fresh. Lastly, and this is the hardest of all, the act needs to be likeable and somehow get their personality across to the audience. Not forgetting great vocals.' Despite Norton's high hopes and their high-energy routine, the odds were not in their favour with Ladbrokes presciently claiming they were more likely to finish in last place than first. In a crushing blow to their chances of success, the girls were ranked at just 66/1 to take home the trophy by bookies, with nine other countries soaring ahead of them. Their odds of coming in last place were much closer at just 3/1, while the chance of them scoring 'nul points' ranked at 12/1. Speaking ahead of the competition, Alex Apati of Ladbrokes said: 'Remember Monday need nothing short of a miracle to cause an upset in Switzerland tonight, if the latest odds are anything to go by.' The UK last finished triumphant in the contest 27 years ago with the victory of Katrina and the Waves in 1997, with their track Love Shine A Light. Remember Monday had fallen far behind Sweden and Austria, who were both the bookies' leading favourites to win the 2025 Eurovision Song Contest. In one of the most politically charged Eurovision song contests, Austria stormed to victory, while Israel - whose performance was hampered by protests - took second place. Millions of viewers across Europe tuned in to see who would take home the crown, as JJ representing Austria emerged victorious in Saturday night's grand final following two semi-final shows earlier this week. Israel's Yuval Raphael, who survived the October 7 massacre in 2023, was the runner-up with New Day Will Rise, performed in Hebrew, French and English. The singer was left 'shaken and upset' after two pro-Palestinian protesters rushed towards her during her performance. Meanwhile, organisers confirmed that a crew member backstage was hit with paint but was not injured. While the UK managed to rack up 88 points from the professional jury, it was yet another snub from the European voting public. Despite their failure at the Eurovision Song Contest, the girl-band has signed a seven-figure contract with musical supremo Andrew Lloyd Webber and will release songs on his label this year. As reported by Katie Hind for The Mail on Sunday, the £1million deal has been awarded because the impresario is convinced the group could be huge. A source said: 'Andrew is genuinely excited by Remember Monday – he really does think they have something special, both in their vocal capabilities and with their stage presence.' The band will be represented by The Other Songs music company which Lord Lloyd-Webber founded with his sons Billy and Alistair. The firm is focused on nurturing songwriting talent and it prides itself on creating unique opportunities for emerging and established artists. The source added: 'Andrew Lloyd Webber sons are utterly convinced they can go from strength to strength as a result of Eurovision.'For some acts the contest is a last throw of the dice, but the new label deal shows how much faith he has in them going on to greater things now.'
