Ruth Langsford said she doesn't fear ageing following her split from Eamonn Holmes and hopes to remain active in the years to come after losing family to Alzheimer's disease in recent years
TV presenter Ruth Langsford has said she is afraid of developing Alzheimer’s disease after seeing both her parents develop the condition.
She said: “I lost my darling dad, Dennis, to Alzheimer’s, and now, sadly, my mum, 93-year-old Joan, has the disease. Every time I forget something, instead of thinking it’s a senior moment, I think ‘Oh my God. Is this the start of Alzheimer’s?’ Ruth’s comments come a few months after she and Eammon Holmes announced they were splitting after 14 years of marriage. Earlier this year, Ruth made a cheeky swipe at GB News presenter Eamonn when she told the audience she was “throwing a lot of stuff out at the minute”.
Whilst Ruth may be healthy, her admission of a fear of developing Alzheimer’s comes days after it was announced that the NHS would not fund a new drug that can slow the development of Alzheimer’s.
