Joan, the mother of the Loose Women actress, has also been dealing with a “horrible chest infection” for the past few weeks.
Ruth Langsford’s ‘horrible’ excuse for her late appearance on QVC has been made public. Just two weeks after her mother slipped ill, the 65-year-old TV star had a nasty stomach bug.
“I’ve got a horrible tummy bug so unfortunately can’t do my show @qvcuk tonight,” she told her fans in an Instagram Story yesterday. “Thankfully, the wonderful @melissahardystyle is stepping in for me so I hope you can join her… some lovely new pieces launching! Thanks Melissa!”
The Loose Women star’s mother, Joan, has also been grappling with a ‘horrible chest infection’ these past few weeks. In a separate update, Ruth recently said the 94-year-old wasn’t quite well enough to ‘come out yet’, but hoped she would recover very soon.
Ruth thanked you last month for your kind words for my mother. “I’m hoping she’ll be back dancing in my kitchen very soon, but she’s not quite well enough to come out yet.” She’s enjoying lots of cuddles with Nurse Maggie in the interim”!
Sadly, Joan has recently experienced a number of health issues. One year after breaking her hip, she fractured her pelvis in December.
While the family was relieved to learn that she wouldn’t need surgery, Joan was required to stay in the hospital to recover. “No dancing in my kitchen peeling the veg for my darling Mum this Christmas… she’s had a fall and fractured her pelvis,” Ruth said in December.
She’s okay, I suppose, and I’m grateful that no surgery is necessary, but she still needs rest and recuperation right now. Although she’s currently in the hospital, I’m hoping to see her soon. She fell and broke her hip at this time last year, but she is now recovering well.
Ruth said the experience had a significant impact on her outlook on life, especially considering how her mother missed out on Christmas traditions last year. She’s a very strong woman, she said, and I’m confident she’ll recover from it as well.
It “puts life and what’s important in perspective,” he says. Nurses at Chertsey’s St. Peter’s Hospital and Woking Community Hospital treated Joan.
By January, she and Ruth and her dog, Maggie, were both recovering from her illness. She is recovering superbly after breaking her pelvis in December, Ruth later added.
“… Charging like a good ‘un once more on her walker! Hope when I turn 94, she will have her grit and drive! LEGEND. “
