Ruth Langsford opened up on Loose Women about her 94-year-old mother Joan's recent fall, detailing her fractured pelvis and ongoing recovery.
During the latest episode of Loose Women , Coleen Nolan showed her support for fellow presenter Ruth Langsford after her mother suffered a fall. On the ITV show broadcast on Monday (January 6), Coleen interrupted the programme just minutes in to check in on Ruth. The panel, which included Kelly Brook and Brenda Edwards, was about to delve into the day's topics when Coleen said: 'Just before we carry on with all of that.
I know your mum had a fall before Christmas, how is she doing?' Ruth, aged 64, opened up about her 94-year-old mother Joan's condition, stating that although she had a painful injury from a fall, she is 'doing alright'. She described her mother as a warrior, likening her resilience to titanium, despite being worried about her. Ruth shared more details, saying: 'She had a fall in the middle of December and fractured her pelvis which is really painful. I said at the time 'aw thank goodness she hasn't broken anything' and the doctor said a fracture is worse because it takes a lot longer to heal.' Ruth praised her mother's stoicism, recalling how she had a hip replacement last year and was up in three days with just paracetamol. However, she admitted that her mother has been experiencing a lot of pain, which has been distressing to witness. She said: 'She's been in hospital and we only got her out on Friday but she is out of hospital and we've got her home now so happy again. It's been a tough one and I know so many people, when you have an elderly parent who needs care, it's different isn't it.' Ruth continued: 'I love my mum so I don't resent it and it could have been a lot worse but she has just got to do a mixture of resting and also movement, it's a combination of the two but she is amazing and she is doing well so thank you.' This recent incident is not the first time Joan has faced health challenges, as she broke her hip in 2023 and is currently receiving care at home due to her dementia diagnosis
