Loose Women welcomes Ruth Langsford back
Loose Women fans were thrilled to see Ruth Langsford has returned to the panel after some time off.
Last week, the 63-year-old was forced to take some time off after being hit by an illness which she spoke about on Monday’s show.
Addressing her absence, Coleen Nolan said: “Just before we carry on, where the hell have you been?”
Ruth replied: “I’ve been poorly and sickly. It’s very nice to be back in the real world.”
As the audience let out a sympathetic noise, Coleen confessed the women on the panel missed her.

She replied: “If you’ve got the lurgy at the moment, so many people have got this.
“I don’t know what it is, I had a chest infection, antibiotics, awful, wiped out.”
As Ruth spoke about her illness, a photo appeared on-screen of her inhaling steam to help with her symptoms.
The panellist continued: “That was Eamonn (filming), I was like, ‘would you go away!’

As Kelly Holmes highlighted there’s a new variant of coronavirus, Ruth shared she had taken three tests which all came back negative.
She added: “I literally, I thought, ‘Oh I’ve got a bit of a cold’. I was sipping Lemsip and honey and lemon and all this stuff you do.
“I was lying on the bed feeling sorry for myself and I thought, ‘What’s that noise? What’s that funny noise?’[ I realised it was my chest.
“It was literally like a death rattle! “
Admitting that was the moment she realised she had to go to the hospital, she was then given antibiotics.
She told her co-hosts that she’s better now and feels fine, but still has a croaky feeling in her chest.
It seems as though Ruth isn’t the only person within ITV who’s been struck down with the bug.
