Loose Women panellist Ruth Langsford has returned to the show after a long break from the show.
Langsford had announced her return on Instagram, telling her followers she'd be back "on the Loose" as she posted a snap from the set.
She then appeared on the chat show today (July 22) after two months away. At the end of May, news broke of Langsford's divorce from her husband, former This Morning co-presenter Eamonn Holmes.
"Can I just say I'm so happy you're back," Loose Women host Coleen Nolan said as the live audience cheered on Langsford, with Janet Street-Porter adding: "Thank god."
"It's very nice to be back with you," Langsford replied with a smile.
