Ruth Langsford shares MAJOR health update on her mum after the 94-year-old’s horror fall before Christmas

Ruth Langsford has shared a positive health update about her elderly mother Joan after her horror fall in December.

The 64-year-old Loose Women presenter shared the happy news on Instagram that her mother, 94, is now back home after breaking her pelvis in a nasty fall.

Ruth shared a sweet video of her mother fussing over her dog Maggie and wrote: ‘SHE’S HOME!!! Mom is finally out of the hospital!

‘Thank you to all the nursing staff at St.Peter’s Hospital and Woking Community Hospital for caring for her so well.’

As the dog licked her mother’s face, she added, “As you can see, Maggie is VERY happy to be home!”

Ruth last updated her followers on Boxing Day when she went to hospital to spend the day with her mother after her first Christmas since her split from Eamonn Holmes.

The star revealed she brought her beloved mum a piece of Christmas cake to enjoy over the festive period.

Ruth regularly visited Joan in hospital after her horror fall and shared a new photo of her eating the cake with a cup of tea.

In another photo, the Loose Women star was seen with her blonde locks in a neat ponytail and dressed in a khaki top as she did a crossword with Joan.

She wrote: ‘Nothing stops her from her crossword puzzles!’

Ruth also previously posted a video on Instagram that she shares a glimpse of her Christmas preparations from her kitchen, as she kept followers updated on how things were going, with the festive period looking a little different for her this year.

She said to the camera, “Hello, this feels like déjà vu because last Christmas Eve I think I was standing in the kitchen like this, with a roller in my hair, talking about last minute things and how come I’m never organized and got everything done, like people going to the carols and pantos tonight and everything is done, and I haven’t done everything yet.

“And my mom, my mom is in the hospital, to be honest, and I’ve been making a lot of hospital visits, but that’s no excuse because, you know, I’ve had all year to prepare. So I’m here, look, wrapping presents, I’ve set the table over there, and there’s Maggie.

“I made my cranberry sauce today, but there’s still some work to be done. I have to wrap Maggie’s stocking from Santa. Shhh. And here I am, come in, but I have a glass of fizz.

“So if I can’t talk to you tomorrow, Merry Christmas to you and yours. I hope you have a great day whatever you do. Have fun, and cheers.”

Ruth also showed fans the horrific bruises on her mother Joan’s face after her fall Joan’s painful injuries.

Ruth wrote: ‘Mum is really glowing after her fall! [crying face emoji] I try to soften it with Arnica cream.’

She cheerfully joked: ’94 years old and barely any gray hair… I hope I inherited the gene!’

Ruth explained in the fall that this year’s Christmas would be different because she would spend it without her mother.

The star revealed this isn’t the first time her mother has broken her pelvis, but hoped she would recover as well as last time.

Ruth wrote: ‘No dancing in my kitchen peeling vegetables for my dear mother this Christmas…she fell and broke her pelvis!

‘She is doing well, fortunately no surgery is required, but she now needs rest and time to heal. She is currently in the hospital, but I hope to get her home soon.

‘This time last year she fell and broke her hip, but recovered well. She is a very strong woman, so I am sure she will recover from this too. Puts life and what’s important into perspective, eh? Merry Christmas! Xx’.

MailOnline revealed that Ruth and Eamonn Holmes are still only communicating through their lawyers, despite the couple’s amicable olive branch on social media last month.

Ruth appeared to accept ex-husband Eamonn’s peace offer and sent the similar back to a post from he and co-host Isabel Webster as they wrapped up their final show of the year.

It comes after Eamonn publicly showed support for ex-wife Ruth as she made an emotional visit to her ailing mother Joan in hospital.

In his first notable contact with Ruth since their divorce, the GB News presenter liked her post.

But the estranged couple’s relationship has not thawed, despite the cryptic Instagram post.

Ruth’s ailing mother Joan has always played an important role in Eamonn’s life, so it was important for him to like her post.

MailOnline contacted Ruth and Eamonn’s representatives for a comment.

The couple confirmed that their 14-year marriage was over in June and are believed to be keen on a quick divorce once Christmas and New Year are behind them.

It’s understood Eamonn and Ruth are hoping to settle their divorce soon, with Ruth getting to keep their £3.5million Surrey mansion.

“The aim is for Eamonn and Ruth to resolve their divorce as soon as possible in the new year,” a source told The Sun.

‘Ruth would like to stay in their marital home because that is where she is based. Eamonn, on the other hand, is keen to get out and make a fresh start. They are not behind and want this to be arranged as quickly as possible.’

Eamonn recently sparked speculation that he is engaged to Alexander after she was spotted wearing a large ring on her engagement finger during a romantic getaway to Paris last week.

“Eamonn has spoken openly about his plans to marry Katie and has made it clear he wants to spend the rest of his life with her,” a source told The Sun.

‘They already live together and he knows it feels good. They have a very strong bond and get along well. She has given him a real zest for life and cares for him.’

In photos obtained by the publication, the couple went to the Louvre, with Alexander wearing a gold diamond ring on her engagement finger.

The consultant was not pictured wearing the band at a Christmas carol concert in west London on December 5.

Last month it was reported that Langsford had hired a “fierce” divorce lawyer amid the bitter split.

As reported by The Sun, Catherine Costley has been called out by Loose Women presenter Ruth, who wants to end her 14-year marriage to Holmes with a financial settlement.

Costley is known for her fierce approach to divorce settlements and has said all women should have a ‘go bag’ fund when they end a relationship, according to The Sun.

The divorce lawyer was once a student of ‘Steel Magnolia’ Baroness Fiona Shackleton, Britain’s leading divorce lawyer who famously represented Charles in his divorce from Diana in 1996.

Baroness Shackleton has also collaborated with A-list stars including Sir Paul McCartney, Liam Gallagher and Madonna.

She was once doused with water in court by an irate Heather Mills while representing the Beatles legend during the couple’s divorce in 2008.
