'I was off the scale' - Ruth Langsford told son Jack about the menopause after she 'lost her rag'

Ruth Langsford attends the National Television Awards 2020 at The O2 Arena on January 28, 2020 .

Ruth Langsford spoke out on Loose Women last year about a conversation she’d had with her son Jack about the menopause after she "lost [her] rag".

During the show on 28th October 2024, the panelists discussed contraception, periods and the menopause and educating people about them.
