Ruth Langsford pulls out of TV show just hours before amid health issue

Daily Mirror01-05-2025

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.

David Beckham to guest edit edition of Country Life Magazine

The former England captain and businessman will join the editorial team for the October 22 edition of the magazine with the aim of celebrating what the countryside means to him and his family. He follows in the footsteps of Royal Family members who previously joined the editor-in chief Mark Hedges at the helm, including the King, the Princess Royal and the Queen. David Beckham and Mark Hedges (Editor-in-Chief of Country Life Magazine) photographed at RHS Chelsea Flower Show (Courtney Hockley/Country Life magazine/PA) Beckham said: 'I am honoured to have been invited to guest edit an edition of a magazine that I have always admired and read. 'I am really looking forward to working with the editorial team to produce an issue that will celebrate what the countryside and the great British landscape means to me and my family.' This comes as Beckham is to be awarded a knighthood in the King's Birthday Honours, according to reports by The Sun. The football star regularly documents his life in the countryside by posting pictures and videos on his Instagram including him harvesting vegetables, gardening and his flock of chickens. Mark Hedges, Country Life editor-in-chief, said: 'I know he has a deep love of the countryside, which has grown since he retired as a professional footballer, although he is, of course, still extremely busy as a businessman and an ambassador for a host of causes, such as Unicef and The King's Foundation, as well as being co-owner of Inter Miami CF in the US and Salford City Football Club in the UK. David Beckham turns 50 this year (Victoria Jones/PA) 'As someone who is passionate about the countryside, I'm excited to see what his special commemorative issue will bring.' The one-off edition aims to highlight how the countryside has played an important part in Beckham's life. It will feature his favourite view, his best-loved recipe and spotlight his rural champions, including the craftsmen and woman who helped shape his home in the Cotswolds. Beckham, who played for his country 115 times, is the only Englishman to score at three different World Cups and his career included the treble-winning campaign of 1998-99, when Manchester United won the Premier League, FA Cup and Champions League. He earned the third highest number of England caps of all time for the men's team, and was captain on 59 occasions. The former winger married Spice Girl Victoria, also known as Posh Spice, in 1999.

Loose Women's Christine Lampard hides face as co-star makes jibe about husband

Christine Lampard was left red-faced after Janet Street-Porter made comments about her husband Frank Lampard's physique during the latest edition of Loose Women Loose Women made a splash when it returned on Wednesday (11 June). Christine Lampard led the panel and was joined by Janet Street Porter, GK Barry, and Jane Moore. In the latest edition, the team tackled a medley of hot topics and chatted with stars like Joanna Page and Liz McClarnon. ‌ At one point, the discussion turned to the contrasts between type A and type B personalities, especially in terms of how they prepare for holidays versus their normal routines. ‌ After Grace shared tales from her recent trip with partner Ella Rutherford, Janet couldn't resist teasing Christine about her own vacation snaps with hubby Frank Lampard. "Christine's grilling you about this, but the pictures of her on holiday last weekend, I was looking at," Janet said. "Now, before we talk about type A or type B, can we just talk about your husband's physique?" The studio erupted into laughter at the question, and Janet confessed she'd even shown her other half the photos of the ex-Chelsea star due to his impressive shape, reports Belfast Live. With a comedic jab, Janet said: "Pictures of Frank online, diving into the pool, flab-free! I said to my partner, 'Look at Frank Lampard. He's not six months pregnant." Christine, giggling and somewhat mortified, hit back: "Janet! I tell you what, Janet's taken up four minutes there just talking about Frank Lampard!" ‌ Christine provided a glimpse into her marriage by complimenting her husband, with whom she has two children, for being "incredibly good" at planning trips and holidays due to his affinity for organisation. She stated: "Now, to give Frank his physique, and his personality dues, he is A type. He is incredibly good at organising things, and it's a bit like you just described there. "He's very good, and I think it's just his personality. It's what he's always been like. He likes planning; he likes an itinerary. He likes to have everything booked. He has no problem taking care of everything." The couple, who started dating in 2009 and married in December 2015, have a son and daughter together, and Christine also acts as stepmother to Frank's two daughters from a previous relationship. Loose Women airs on weekdays on ITV1 from 12.30pm
