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.

How has the media wronged Nadiya Hussain?
Nadiya Hussain's recipes have become staples in households across the country and acquired for the TV presenter and cookery writer the status of national treasure. However, her reaction to the BBC's decision not to commission a new series from her leaves a bitter taste and prompts the thought that her secret ingredient all along might have been celebrity entitlement. Over the weekend, the Great British Bake Off winner posted a video update on Instagram for her 950,000 followers. After explaining her social media absence (events in Gaza were making it 'hard to post about food in a positive way') and letting us know about changes in her professional dealings ('I'm way more mindful of who I work with, brands I work with, especially if they are brands that support the genocide'), Hussain revealed that the BBC had 'decided that they didn't want to commission a show'.

Love Island star ‘gives away' she's signed up for All Stars after split from boyfriend and abuse accusations
She previously turned down the show after getting into a relationship with her ex STAR QUALITY Love Island star 'gives away' she's signed up for All Stars after split from boyfriend and abuse accusations Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) LOVE Island beauty Belle Hassan has dropped a major hint she's signed up for All Stars following her split from her rugby player ex-boyfriend. Belle split from Scotland international Luke Crosbie, 28, in February and claimed she was the victim of emotional abuse. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 4 Belle Hassan dropped a big hint she's signing for All Stars Credit: Instagram In a Q&A with fans on Instagram last night, she revealed she can't say much for "legal reasons" but insisted she's never been so happy to be single. Having 'rediscovered' herself, Belle appeared to confirm a return to Love Island in the New Year. When a fan asked if she was doing All Stars, she replied with a selfie and a large side eye emoji suggesting wheels are in motion behind the scenes. Earlier this year, the makeup artist, 27, told fans she'd experienced six weeks of alleged emotional abuse that left her feeling at an all time low. A source told The Sun at the time: "Belle is no longer with Luke. "She's back in London while she processes everything that has happened recently and is focusing on her wellbeing after the split." When a fan asked how she was, Belle wrote: "I'm probably at the lowest point I've been in my life and I genuinely don't know how to pull myself out. "I can't even pull myself out of bed, and have been like this for about 6 weeks, when I tell you emotional abuse is no joke I mean it! Have YOU got a story or an amazing picture or video? Email exclusive@ and you could even get PAID "I wouldn't wish what has been done to me on my worst enemy. "For the first time in my life I've been faced with a situation I have no idea how to deal with and I know usually it's me on here giving all the advice but I don't wanna sit here and lie and say I know I'll be fine because this time I'm not sure if I will be. Love Island's Belle Hassan on date with Scots hunk - who shows up with black eye "I can promise I am trying my best to get better but this one's gna be a process." The pair became an item late in 2023 just as Belle, who previously dated Anton Danyluk, was asked to sign up for Love Island All Stars. She called Luke a "gift from the universe" and said: 'He ticks every checklist I have, he's completely my type to a T, personality, looks everything." Londoner Belle relocated to Edinburgh to live with the sports star and opened a beauty salon in the city. Luke previously praised Belle for supporting his career and shared details of winning her hardman actor dad Tamer's approval. He told us: 'She's starting to realise how sore you are after the games! 'She's got a big job keeping me fed but she's doing a good job so far. 4 Belle posted this statement in February Credit: Instagram 4 She moved her life to Edinburgh where Luke plays rugby Credit: Instagram / @bellehassan 4 Belle pulled out of Love Island All Stars after falling for Luke Credit: bellehassan/Instagram.. 'She loves rugby now and her dad loves it as well, and her mum, so they're big supporters. 'I get along well with her dad. He's a tough man, like! 'One of the first times I met him he wanted to make sure I could protect his daughter so it turned into a little sparring match at Christmas. I passed the test! 'You wouldn't hear the end of that if I'd knocked him out!"

How my ‘perfect' beauty regime exposed my ex as a cheating rat – what his other woman did is totally unforgivable
As soon as she discovered the clues the relationship ended right then and there EX-CUSES How my 'perfect' beauty regime exposed my ex as a cheating rat – what his other woman did is totally unforgivable Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) AN influencer has shared the peculiar way she found out her love rat ex was cheating – by the other woman using her skincare cream. Wanessa Moura has a strict morning beauty routine and often likes to share tips and tricks with her 1.3m Instagram followers. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 6 Wanessa Moura found out her ex was cheating after the other woman used her skincare cream Credit: Jam Press/CO Press Office/@wamoura 6 This attention to detail helped her identify that one of her former boyfriends was a two-timer Credit: Jam Press/CO Press Office/@wamoura 6 Wanessa claims she had given her ex a key to her place Credit: Jam Press/CO Press Office/@wamoura Her products are all carefully organised in her bathroom. This attention to detail helped her identify that one of her former boyfriends was a two-timer. When returning from a work trip, the 31-year-old noticed that one of her face creams was running low and her carefully arranged products had been 'messed' with. 'I'm obsessed with organisation,' Wanessa, who has even launched her own skincare range, told NeedToKnow. 'I know exactly how much is left of each cream, where every bottle goes, what's sealed, what's half-used. 'When I saw one of the jars with a loose cap and a different texture, I knew someone had touched it. 'And it wasn't me.' Wanessa claims she had given her ex a key to her place, but knew he wasn't the 'vain' type, so it was highly unlikely that he had touched the cream. She said, 'Someone had messed with my products, and I knew something was wrong. 'He [my ex] would never know how to use that stuff on his own. My love rat husband slept with three other women (1) 'He was the rough type, you know? The kind who thought anything beyond soap was nonsense, and who wouldn't even wear sunscreen or moisturiser. 'He took pride in never putting anything on his face. 'That's why, when I noticed my products had been used correctly, I got suspicious right away. 'My ex wouldn't even know how to open the jar, let alone apply the under-eye cream properly.' But using my expensive products without permission? That, to me, is unforgivable Wanessa Moura Unable to let the incident go, Wanessa, who hails from Brazil, confronted her ex. When pressed for answers, he confessed. Wanessa added: 'He cheated on me, and the mistress left with glowing skin. It's absurd! 'The relationship ended right then and there, of course. 'But to this day, I'm furious. 'Being cheated on is already bad enough. 6 When pressed for answers, her ex finally gave his confession Credit: Jam Press/CO Press Office/@wamoura 6 Wanessa claimed that another one of her exes was so vain that she would spend more time getting ready than she did Credit: Jam Press/CO Press Office/@wamoura 6 Facial care is important for the social media influencer Credit: Jam Press/CO Press Office/@wamoura 'But using my expensive products without permission? 'That, to me, is unforgivable.' This isn't the only beauty-related incident that the influencer has dealt with. Last year, she claimed that another one of her exes was so vain that she would spend more time getting ready than she did. At the time, Wanessa said: 'He started spending absurd amounts on beauty products and even using mine. 'Facial care is important, and I love that men take care of themselves, but when he starts spending more on aesthetics than I do, something is wrong.'
