Loose Women star Ruth Langsford has opened up on attending a hospital appointment which could prove to be “life-saving”. The 65-year-old ITV star posted to her Instagram stories to show that she was having to undergo a moment of discomfort in order to maintain her good health.
On Monday she shared a snap from outside Surrey’s Breast Screening Service as she thanked the NHS for a “quick and efficient service”. Ruth captioned the post, writing: “This is where I started my day… A bit uncomfortable but potentially life saving. Thank you for a very quick, efficient service @NHSEngland.” She didn’t share any further updates on the appointment but later posted a snap of her enjoying a coffee in the sunshine. Ruth very rarely opens up about her health, but previously shared fears of succumbing to Alzheimer’s. “I’m a bit ‘head in the sand’ about Alzheimer’s,” she said in Woman & Home‘s March edition. “Both my parents have had it, I know what it entails and it horrifies me.

“There’s a test you can do to see if you’re more likely to get it, but, because there’s no medication to treat it, I’d rather not know. When I have senior moments, as people call them, I panic. Then I let it go, because I can’t bear to think about that.”
The Loose Women star lost her father, Dennis, to dementia in 2012 and cares for her 93-year-old mum, Joan, who also has the condition.
The mum-of-one also opened up about the difficulties she’s faced with her body after menopause. While on Loose Women, she expressed: “I’ve never really had huge problems with weight gain, I’ve been very lucky.
“I like good food so I eat well and I cook, but the weight gain and the shape change in menopause I’ve really struggled with, and I try really hard.”
In another interview, Ruth admitted: “I have lost weight. Divorce obviously has something to do with it.”
Ruth and Eamonn Holmes 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.
