Ruth Langsford has apologised to viewers after making her grand return to Loose Women after weeks away following her and Eamonn Holmes' split announcement. TV couple, who previously hosted This Morning as a duo, sent shockwaves through the showbiz world when they announced their separation in May after 14 years together. Ruth has stayed silent about the separation while taking a break from work , but Eamonn swiftly returned to GB News and thanked fans for their support.
And now, after over a month away from ITV's Loose Women, Ruth was welcomed back with open arms. Before the show began at 12:30pm, she took to her Instagram Stories to tease her return with a video of the hallway at the studio. She focused the camera over the Loose Women sign on the wall before panning the camera to the neon 'Let's get loose!' sign.
Ruth captioned the post: "Back on the Loose! Hope you can join us!" As the show began, she addressed her return and told viewers at home: "Welcome to your first Loose Women of the week, it's great to have your company!" Before they got the show on the road, Coleen Nolan was quick to interrupt Ruth and pause the programme to share a message of support. She said: "Can I just say? I am so so happy that you're back!"
