Ruth Langsford put her worries aside as she went out for a drink with friends on Friday night.
The 64-year-old presenter shared a bunch of snaps on her Instagram Stories, documenting her fun night out with friends Rachael Eleri and Liv Davey.
She looked to be having the time of her life as she posed for a photo with the duo, holding up a peace sign as they all wore black sunglasses.
They went for dinner and drinks at the Greek-Mediterranean restaurant Gaia in Mayfair, London.
Ruth seemed to be enjoying her evening as she pouted at the camera for the cute snap, looking stunning in a white shirt and black trousers.

The TV presenter’s night out comes just over a week after she made her triumphant return to Loose Women following her split from husband Eamonn Holmes.
Opening her comeback show, Ruth announced to the audience: ‘Welcome to your first Loose Women of the week, it’s great to have you with us!’
Her co-star Coleen Nolan added: “Can I just say I’m so glad you’re back?”
As the crowd cheered her return, panelist Janet Street-Porter shouted, “Thank God! Thank God!”
“I was left with her and her,” she joked, pointing to Coleen and Brenda Edwards.
She took an extended break from the ITV show after it was announced in May that the couple would split, and was welcomed back to the studio to loud applause.

Opening the show she announced to the audience: ‘Welcome to your first Loose Women of the week, it’s great to have you with us!’
She took an extended break from the ITV show after it was announced in May that the couple would split after 14 years of marriage (pictured together in 2019)
“I know, I won’t do it again Janet. It’s so nice to be with you again,” Ruth replied.
Ruth has not spoken about the breakup so far.
She has a son, Jack, 22, with Eamonn, who has three children from a previous marriage: Declan, 35, Rebecca, 32, and Niall, 30.
Ruth first appeared on Loose Women 24 years ago, but has not been a guest presenter on the show since April.
Meanwhile, Eamonn is still working at GB News after the split and has not spoken about the divorce.
Earlier this month, a TV insider told MailOnline that while it is incredibly emotional for Ruth to talk about the split, she is a professional and knows she cannot return to television without explaining why she has been absent since April.
The source said: ‘The Loose Women presenters have a history of openly discussing their marital problems on radio and that is a very encouraging environment.’
They added: ‘Ruth knows that viewers will be very concerned about her split, which is why she will be speaking to her and Eamonn for the first time on the show.

‘The audience has witnessed the highs and lows of her relationship, she has always been very open and honest and later this month will be no different… she owes it to the viewers to say something.
“She’ll be surrounded by the people she’s closest to on the show and then she’ll draw a line under it… She has no plans to do a big interview, this will be the only time she speaks.”
During another recent episode of Loose Women, viewers criticised presenter Ruth for being ‘disrespectful’ after allegedly disparaging Eamonn during the show.
The panel consisted of friendship bracelets and special gifts they had received from their loved ones.
Ruth shared her thoughts and said, “I think any gift from a friend is a special gift, anything a friend gives you.
‘When someone says friendship bracelet, I don’t think of a beautiful silver bracelet, but of a piece of cotton that a child made for you.
“I don’t have grandchildren, I hope to have them someday, but I can imagine. If a grandchild or something made something for me, I would feel the need to wear it.”

Viewers quickly noticed that Ruth completely ignored the fact that she has step-grandchildren with Eamonn.
‘I thought it was a bit mean that Ruth said she had no grandchildren, when she had step-grandchildren on Eamonn’s side.’
‘#Loosewomen I thought you had a granddaughter Ruth.’
“They’re Eamonn’s grandchildren. I bet she doesn’t see them anymore.”
‘In the 14 years that Eamon and Ruth were together, her stepson Declan had two children. She would have known them… Her step-grandchildren. Now she says she has no grandchildren. Ouch.’
