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.

Ed Davey supports emotional wife as they open up on caring for disabled son
Ed Davey supports emotional wife as they open up on caring for disabled son Ed Davey and his wife Emily opened up about being a carer for their son during a candid interview on This Morning with Ben Shephard and Cat Deeley This Morning returned to TV screens on Tuesday (10 June) with Cat Deeley and Ben Shephard back at the helm of another packed show. The pair discussed the latest headlines, fashion tips and health issues during the show, which also saw Ben and Cat sit down with politician Ed Davey and his wife Emily for a candid interview. Ed, who is the leader of the Liberal Democrat party, and Emily spoke about caring for their son John, 17, who has severe learning and physical disabilities due to an undiagnosed neurological condition. John requires round-the-clock care, which both Ed and Emily provide alongside external carers. Their son remains without an official diagnosis, with Ed explaining that John finds walking and communicating difficult, adding: "Because he's undiagnosed, you're on a journey both with the people in the health service, and other carers." Ed Davey opened up about caring for his son on This Morning (Image: ITV ) Pulp on track to claim first number one album in 27 years READ MORE: "He's our wonderful boy and we've tried to help him become as independent as possible," Ed, who also shares daughter Ellie with his wife, said. Article continues below Emily went on to share the reality of being a carer for a loved one, and told how she thinks carers are simply "too tired" to campaign to make their voices to be heard. "We're not different from anybody else, it's a very ordinary story in many ways of being a carer. "But, part of the issue about being a carer is that it's physically and emotionally exhausting, so by the end of the day, you just collapse into bed," Emily, who married Ed back in 2005, told Ben and Cat. Ed admitted he and Emily are "very lucky," before adding: "Because I'm in politics, I want to make sure I can be the voice of many carers out there." Ed and Emily are parents to John and Ellie (Image: ITV ) The couple's appearance on This Morning was also to mark the release of Ed's autobiography, titled Why I Care: And Why Care Matters , which landed on shelves on 22 May. Article continues below The book sees the politican reveal "a deeply personal account of life as a carer and a call to support those who care for others." It also features accounts from other carers, in a bid to raise awareness. Ed has been a keen advocate for carers for many years and also has an interest in speech therapy, as John has speech difficulties. This Morning airs on weekdays from 10am on ITV1

Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) CONOR Phillips was a last-minute replacement for Kyle Ashman, who was sent packing before Love Island 2025 kicked off. Here we get to know the pro rugby-playing Irishman, who's ready for romance in the famous villa. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 4 Conor Phillips is a new Love Island star 4 Conor plays for Munster's academy and has represented Ireland at U20 level and in the international 7s Credit: Instagram 4 He's looking for his perfect match on Love Island 2025 Kyle Ashman, 23, was sent packing from Majorca days before the new series launched. This came after it emerged he'd been quizzed by cops over a machete attack at a wake in February 2025. Kyle broke his silence on his exit, saying: 'I fully co-operated with this police investigation and made it very clear that I had no involvement in this incident. 'I am not a violent person and any suggestion otherwise is a mischaracterisation.' Another Islander, Dejon Williams, was also questioned by police after being accused of stealing a woman's phone on a night out. He told The Sun: 'I was never arrested. I voluntarily spoke to the police to clarify the truth about what happened in this incident, with no further action taken. "To stress, my intentions here were entirely honourable and it is very upsetting to read claims that suggest otherwise.' ITV was aware of the incident with Dejon when he secured his place on the show, a spokesman confirmed. On June 4, 2025, Love Island revealed professional rugby player Conor Phillips would be taking his place — here's everything you need to know about him. Who is Conor Phillips? Conor is a contestant in the starting lineup for Love Island 2025. Brutal twist rocks villa as bombshell enters during first episode The 25-year-old rugby pro plays for Munster's academy and has represented Ireland at U20 level and in the international 7s. Conor's looking for "someone who is really sure of themselves, ambitious, a bit of a go-getter and good craic. I like dark eyes and I don't mind a dominant woman". When it comes to turn offs, he added: "Being too needy, or needing to do everything together. "I like someone to be independent and do their own thing and then we come together and do our thing." Speaking to press, Conor revealed the most unusual place he's had sex. He shared: "Probably behind a nightclub, I think, is the craziest, to be honest. Hopefully this is the right place, and it should be, you know, because you're in a lovely villa surrounded by beautiful people, so I'm hoping that this is the one Conor Phillips "I know it's nothing too crazy. I was young as well." He also opened up about how his mother feels about him joining Love Island. He said: "It's a weird one for parents. My mam will be quite reserved and low key. So, it's a bit out of her comfort zone. "But again, she knew that I'm an adult, so I'm going to make my own decision, and she's going to support me. Admitting he'd broken show rules before entering the famous villa, Conor revealed he'd sought advice from past winner Greg O'Shea. Islanders are forbidden from revealing their involvement in the series before it starts. 4 Conor has never really been in a long relationship and believes Love Island is the right place to find a partner Credit: Instagram Fellow Irish rugby player Greg, 30, won series five alongside Amber Gill. Conor shared: "I know Greg through rugby circles so I spoke to him about going on Love Island. "He just said 'be yourself, it's a really really really cool experience that not many people get. "So enjoy it and yeah take it day by day and if you can be yourself you can't really go too far wrong'. "So that's my plan. He was like 'my advice might be a bit different from others because I won'." He added: "I'm 25 and I've only had one relationship and it wasn't very long. "So I feel like I'm maybe doing something wrong or maybe I'm not in the right places. "So, hopefully this is the right place, and it should be, you know, because you're in a lovely villa surrounded by beautiful people, so I'm hoping that this is the one."
