Ruth Langsford discussed the emotional reason behind her recent weight loss and opened up on her possible surgery plans.
Speaking in a new interview with woman&home, the presenter addressed how she feels about ageing as she approaches 65.
Admitting that she dropped some pounds following her tough divorce from Eamonn Holmes, she said it ‘had something to do with it.’
Ruth and Eamonn announced their split last year after 14 years of marriage and 27 years together, with Eamonn going public with his new relationship with dating counsellor Katie Alexander, 43, shortly after.
The Loose Woman panellist said: ‘I have lost weight. Divorce obviously has something to do with it.’
She also added that a recent hormone check revealed she was coming to the end of menopause, which had helped.

Ruth recalled how a man on social media had recently made a comment on her looks, and explained that although she tries not to ‘dwell on age,’ she wouldn’t rule out surgery in the future.
She explained: ‘A man put on a social media post recently, “Ruth’s really looking her age these days.” I had a little jolt and thought, “What, because I’ve got a few lines?” I’m nearly 65. What am I supposed to look like?
‘Sometimes I’ll take a selfie and I’ll look at myself and go, ‘That looks terrible. I’m not posting that.’ There’s a vanity there. Listen, every time I see myself on camera, I think, ‘I’d like to get my neck done.’ It’s all I see. Something about your neck suddenly goes, and it’s really ageing.
‘I’m not saying that I’ll never have a neck lift or a chin lift because, who knows? By the time I’m 68, I might not be able to stand it any more.’
‘There are times when I think, ‘Am I just cutting my nose off to spite my face?’ I say I don’t want injectables or fillers but I could look great.’
Speaking on Loose Women back in September Ruth candidly opened up about her experiences with ageing, admitting that ‘everything has drooped and sagged’ – only to be met with a brutal response from the studio audience.
The TV presenter lifted the lid on the changes she’s noticed in her body since she hit 60 as the panel discussed ‘dramatic ageing’.
It was prompted by a new study which found that rather than experiencing a slow, gradual decline, our bodies change dramatically around the ages of 44 and 60.

Kicking off the discussion, Ruth said: ‘Actually I saw this article, it was in the Daily Mail today with various women talking about it and it really resonated with me.
‘Definitely when I hit 60 it seems to have happened very quickly. So, you know, kind of 50 to 60, you know me I don’t really worry too much about age.’
She added: ‘But 60, until now, I’m 64, I feel that everything has kind of drooped and sagged and it’s a bit you know, funny neck…’
As the presenter trailed off in thought, the audience burst into fits of laughter, to which Ruth responded: ‘I do, I do!’
She glanced over at the studio audience and swiped: ‘You’re supposed to go, no Ruth, no, surely not,’ which sparked another wave of giggles.
Panelist Kelly Holmes jumped in and asked Ruth: ‘Do you actually see it and feel it in yourself?’
‘I can see it,’ Ruth admitted, ‘I look in the mirror or you know if you take a selfie or something, whereas before I didn’t really notice it.’
‘We promote very much on here body positivity and confidence, age is just a number, so I do teeter on this kind of tightrope of trying very hard to be that woman.
‘Then I have those moments where I fall off the tightrope to go, ‘Oh my God, look at my neck, it’s awful.’
