ITV Loose Women's Ruth Langsford mum in hospital as star gives update

Ruth Langsford has shared an update on her mother's health, following a recent accident. The Loose Women panellist said that Joan, 93, suffered a fall and fractured her pelvis, no more than a year after breaking her hip. Posting to Instagram earlier this week, Ruth explained: "No dancing in my kitchen peeling the veg for my darling Mum this Christmas .

...



she’s had a fall and fractured her pelvis! She’s ok...

ish, no surgery required thank goodness but she needs rest and time to heal now. "She’s in hospital at the moment but I’m hoping to get her home soon. This time last year she fell and broke her hip but recovered well.

" Ruth said the incident has 'put life and what's important into perspective', but asserted that her mother is 'very strong' and will surely recover. Two days later, she paid her mother a hospital visit and wrote: "She’ll be in hospital for a bit longer yet, but she’s in pretty good spirits considering and I hope she’ll be home for Christmas." The fresh update comes just two months after Ruth battled a health issue of her own, previously disclosing to followers that she'd been housebound for days.

"I've had a couple of days at home with the lurgy but feeling better today so I ventured out for a stroll with Maggie," she said at the time, according to The Express . Sharing a quick clip of her dog trotting along the pavement, she added: "Nice to get some fresh air." The 64-year-old further explained that she'd lost her appetite while ill, but once this returned, she indulged in a nostalgic 'old school dinner'.

"Haven't eaten much for a couple of days so I've gone old school for dinner! SO hungry," she said previously. "Bisto instant gravy granules..

. delicious!! Took me back to school dinners." Ruth's health struggles also follow her recent split from ex co-star Eamonn Holmes.

The couple were married for 14 years before announcing their separation in May. In September, Eamonn was spotted in Barcelona with his alleged love interest, Katie Alexander, who is 22 years his junior. Reports suggest Eamonn and Katie met a few years ago and became close friends during his rough patch with Ruth.
