Ruth Langsford pulls out of TV show just hours before amid health issue
Loose Women panelist Ruth Langsford announced last-minute that she had to pull out of a scheduled TV appearance on a different show today just hours before she had been due on air
Presenter Ruth Langsford has announced that she's had to cancel a scheduled TV appearance as a result of ill health. She shared the news just hours before she was due on air.
Ruth, 65, had been scheduled to front another episode of her QVC show tonight. Ruth Langsford Fashion is broadcast once a week on the shopping channel, with each episode featuring "style advice and inspiration" from the former This Morning host. She however announced earlier that she wouldn't be on the latest episode, airing from 7pm to 9pm. She shared the news in a post on her Instagram Story this afternoon. It included a photo of Ruth and colleague Melissa Hardy. The Loose Women revealed that stylist Melissa would temporarily replace her on the fashion show.
Ruth wrote in the caption: "I've got a horrible tummy bug so unfortunately can't do my show [on QVC] tonight! Thankfully the wonderful [Melissa] is stepping in for me so I hope you can join her ... some lovely new pieces launching."
She also suggested that her colleague was her "hero" in the post, with her having posted a sticker of the description over the photo of the pair. Ruth expressed gratitude to her replacement too, writing elsewhere: "Thanks Melissa."
Melissa shared the post on her own account and issued a message for presenter Ruth following the news that she's unwell at the moment. In the caption that was on her own post today, she wrote: "Feel better soon Ruth."
In a subsequent post, she shared that she would be joined by presenter Ophelia Dennis on Ruth Langsford Fashion tonight. She wrote in her other post: "Stepping in for the lovely [Ruth] at 7 & 8pm with [Ophelia] & lots of new pieces."
Ruth has worked with QVC for over half a decade. She was named an ambassador for the brand in 2017 and now has her own clothing range, Ruth Langsford Fashion. She's continued to appear on the shopping channel in recent years.
She opened up about her relationship with the brand during a Q&A with her followers back in 2019. Ruth revealed at the time that she felt "privileged" to have been invited to collaborate with QVC at the beginning of their partnership.
The insight was shared after being asked how she got to work for the shopping channel. She responded to the question: "I was very privileged that [QVC] invited me to develop my own clothing range with them so of course ... I said yes!"
Ruth has been known to promote her work on QVC and some of its products on her account. Just last week, for example, she posted about having done a "fun photoshoot" for the show Today's Special Value, which she has hosted before.
She wrote: "Fun photo shoot yesterday for my next [QVC] TSV (Today's Special Value). We were working hard but we always have a laugh too!" Ruth then thanked colleagues whom she had been alongside at the photoshoot.

Lola Young shares VERY racy video as she goes topless in latest post to promote her new single One Thing
Lola Young made sure all eyes were on her as she took to Instagram on Tuesday evening with a very racy video. The Messy hitmaker, 24, left little to the imagination as she went topless in the video, covering her modesty with her hand as she sat in a pair of red and white striped shorts. The singer, who is currently promoting her latest single One Thing, looked at the camera as she sang the song's lyrics: 'I wanna pull you closer/ I don't even want your number 'Don't care if you got another/ 'Cause tonight, I'm your only lover/ And I'ma give you that one thing/ I'ma give you that one thing'. At the end of the risqué video the star took her hands away from her breasts as two stars flashed up on the screen. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. She captioned the post: 'one thing …. or two'. Fans went wild for the clip as they penned: 'confidence and full glam is such a good combo on you '; 'Goddess'; 'Lola is giving gals confidence with every video! Beauty'; 'I LOVE YOU!! The artistry and lyrics are just'. It comes after Lola opened up about her sexuality after she responded to a comment on her recent TikTok video last month. Dancing and lip syncing to CMAT's track Take A Sexy Picture Of Me, viewers headed straight to the comments to share their love for the star. While one fan joked: 'no man deserves this' Lola unexpectedly replied as she confirmed she does not identify as straight writing: 'i like p***y as well u kno' [sic]. CMAT also loved the tribute to her song as she replied with a series of crying emojis and penned: 'i love u so much this is the best day of my life. ur so fit'. The lyrics of CMAT's new song go 'I did the butcher, I did the baker / I did the home and the family maker / I did schoolgirl fantasies / Oh, I did leg things and hand stuff / And single woman banter / Now tell me, what was in it for me?'. Fans went wild for the clip as they penned: 'confidence and full glam is such a good combo on you ' Lola, who is a Brit School alum, has soared to stardom this year after she went viral with her hit song Messy and was even nominated for two BRIT Awards. And last month the star took to social media to promote her ADHD medicine, Concerta, because it makes her 'see mess now and clean things up'. Lola highlighted that there was an 'over glamorisation' of the hyperactivity disorder which has broken out among Gen Z with many 'jumping on the bandwagon'. But, she argued, the glorification of ADHD in recent years has also helped break down the stigma and made sure 'people are aware of what it's doing to your brain'. The Croydon-born pop singer said: 'Six months ago I started taking Concerta and it has genuinely changed my life, my thought processing and it's changed how I see mess and I can clear up, I feel genuinely a lot happier. 'My experience on Concerta has been incredible, and I would highly recommend it. I think it's super important to break down the stigma of taking medication for mental health because, right now, if you had a heart condition, you may take some. 'So we should make sure physical health and mental health are viewed on par.'

Taron Egerton is looking for love on celeb dating app Raya after splitting from Marvel girlfriend
n has been spotted looking for romance on celebrity dating app Raya after relocating to Los Angeles, California. Taron had been dating actress Chloe Bennet for several months with the pair enjoying dates in the UK and America. But online sleuths have discovered his profile on Raya suggesting the pair have called it quits, just months after making it official in December. The actor's Raya profile said that he was visiting London but resides in LA, and he tagged the track Lou's Tune by DARGZ. In December, Taron was seen enjoying a romantic stroll with Chloe in N ew York City, just days after the pair confirmed their romance. The week before, the couple were spotted for the first time together as they once again strolled though the streets of New York before stopping in a cafe for a kiss. An insider said last year of his relationship with Chloe: 'Taron has had a turbulent few years but things are much better with Chloe in the picture. 'They met in the U.S. and went on a string of dates here before deciding to take a trip to the UK together. 'He showed her some of his favorite spots and they managed to fly under the radar, which was convenient because they're both super-private people. 'They are busy and taking it slowly, but from what they've been telling friends, it is going really well.' The last time Taron reportedly joined celebrity dating app was after his split from is long-term girlfriend Emily Thomas in April 2022. Following their split, Taron deleted all traces of the assistant director from his Instagram profile at the time. At the time sources close to the star claimed their relationship became 'strained' due to their busy schedules. An insider told The Sun back in April 2022: 'Taron and Emily have both been really busy for the past year and it put a lot of pressure on their relationship. 'They have separated and it hasn't been easy for either of them. He is taking some time for himself now but he is open to meeting someone else soon. 'He has been putting himself out there on Raya in the hopes he can ease himself back into dating.'

All of the best vegetable sculptures from the Lambeth Country Show 2025
When it comes to what you can do with vegetables, the possibilities are endless. They can be boiled, steamed, sautéed, roasted, and even turned into fabulous sculptures. Every year, the Lambeth Country Show hosts a hilarious, and frankly iconic, vegetable sculpture competition, where veg-loving artists create weird and wonderful scenes out of only the finest produce. In 2025 the competition saw Donald Trump, Chappell Roan and Mark Rylance recreated in veggie form. But who squashed the competition? And whose leaves were a major flop? Here are our favourite veggie sculptures from this year's country show. WINNER: 'Not In My Broc-Yard' It was the topic of the year: the battle for Brockwell Park. This artwork depicting a very angry broccolli alongside a grimacing 'Mark Pak-Choi-Lance' poked fun at the campaigners trying to stop festivals in the park, which help fund the free to attend Lambeth Country show. 'Not In My Broc-Yard' was one of three entries on this topic, but this feisty broccoli winning took the title with 704 likes on Instagram. Mark Rylunch and his NIMBY campeaners This entry speaks for itself. Chap-peel Roan Pop superstar Chappell Roan got a veggie makeover complete with ginger (carrot) hair. Cornclave (1 and 2) The conclave appeared in two works, as an army of baby corn elected the new pope. Trump goes pukelear Trump, tarriffs, and a stream of veggie vomit. We love the chaos of this one. Twin Leaks RIP David Lynch, you would have loved being recreated as a squash at the Lambeth Country Show. Enjoyed these? Check out all the entries on the Lambeth Country Show Instagram.
