Ruth Langsford was left close to tears on Friday as the Loose Women panel bid farewell to available member of their team at the end of the show.
While she wasn't on the ITV daytime show in an official capacity for its latest live episode, in the closing moments it was revealed that the former This Morning host Ruth was in the audience for a poignant reason, to give a send-off to Loose Women's long-serving make up artist Donna May Clitheroe, who is walking away from the programme after 20 years.
It was Friday's presenter Kaye Adams who broke news of Donna May's exit, saying: "Before we go, we have to say after 20 years, this is the last day of our dear friend Donna May. The heart of our make up room. She's sat there with Ruth, I don't think Ruth's going to let her go."
