Loose Women star Ruth Langsford has revealed her mother Joan has had a serious accident with just days to go to Christmas. The 64-year-old took to Instagram to share the news with her 1.1 million followers.
She posted a video of her 90-year-old mother looking in rude health as she sang and dance while she peeled vegetables at the kitchen sink. However it transpired the clip was throwback as the presenter revealed in the comment.
"No dancing in my kitchen peeling the veg for my darling Mum this Christmas….she’s had a fall and fractured her pelvis!
"She’s ok…ish, no surgery required thank goodness but she needs rest and time to heal now. She’s in hospital at the moment but I’m hoping to get her home soon.
"This time last year she fell and broke her hip but recovered well…she’s a very strong woman so I’m sure she’ll recover from this too. Put’s life and what’s important into perspective eh? Happy Christmas! X x," she wrote.
Her celebrity friends were quick to flock to the comments to offer Ruth and her mother their sympathies and good wishes.
A Place In The Sun star Lucy Alexander wrote: "Sending you a huge hug Ruthie... I know how much you love your mum. Hope she's on the mend soon."
TV star Lizzie Cundy chimed in: "Sending you so much love . Hoping Mum will be back dancing very soon .Sending huge hugs my darling."
Her Loose Women colleague Nadia Sawahla posted: "Awww Ruth ..wishing you all well xxx."

Her fans also offered their support. "Bless her heart xxx. I’m sure you’ll be looking after her well. Wishing her a speedy recovery X. Sending you a big cuddle too X," one wrote.
Another said: "Sending my best to you and your lovely mum Ruth. I’ve been there and you’re right it puts what’s important into perspective. Sending best wishes for her speedy recovery."
Meanwhile a third commented: "Sending hugs and a speedy recovery for your mum, she’s a string lady who I’m sure will literally bounce back."
This is the latest festive health woe to hit Ruth's mother. She broke her hip in a fall ahead of Christmas last year and Ruth revelaed in February she had to have a full hip replacement following the accident.
