Ruth Langsford briefly walked off This Morning on Thursday after 'secret' footage of her and Rylan Clark larking about during an ad break was shown to millions of viewers at home.
After lots of speculation that she would be making a surprise return to the daytime show, without husband Eamonn Holmes by her side, Ruth made her first This Morning appearance for quite some time on Monday, teaming up with Rylan, the man she calls her 'TV son,' having hosted with him before.
Within minutes of cameras rolling on the first episode of a new week, many viewers were calling for Ruth, now regularly seen as an anchor on Loose Women, to be reinstated on This Morning on a full time basis, after she and Eamonn lost their Friday hosting gig to Alison Hammond and Dermot O'Leary at the start of 2021. Other fans have loved Ruth and Rylan' s on-screen chemistry but it was something that went on behind the scenes that prompted Ruth's momentary walk-off on Thursday.
