Ruth Langsford makes awkward This Morning blunder while hosting Loose Women
Loose Women took an awkward turn on Tuesday when host Ruth Langsford accidentally made a This Morning blunder.
Prior to the ITV chat show starting, This Morning hosts Sian Welby and Dermot O'Leary headed to the studio to see what Ruth, 63, and her co-stars had in store on the programme today. However, upon reading out the line-up, Ruth said: "Hello, yes, coming up on This Morning... not This Morning! You're This Morning, we're Loose Women. Force of habit, sorry!"
This Morning fans will recall that Ruth used to host the show on Fridays and holidays, alongside husband Eamonn Holmes from 1999 to 2022. Ruth remains as a host on Loose Women, where she has worked since 1999.
It comes as new This Morning presenter Sian, 37, praised Ruth for her support. The radio star, who is currently a host on the Capital FM Breakfast show after replacing Vick Hope, is one in a long line of presenters who have stepped in to help fill the void left by Holly Willoughby. This Morning bosses have been conducting a series of live auditions to see who best fits the ITV show.
On Monday, Sian was asked to present the show with Dermot after being appointed as the new entertainment expert. Rylan Clark previously hosted the showbiz section on the programme, with Rylan going on to become a stand-in This Morning lead presenter.

During the interaction, Sian said: "Aw, thank you Ruth! Ruth's been so sweet to me, you know, always! She looks after me, she's so lovely!"
To which Ruth replied: "Well I'm delighted to see you there Sian!" with Sian responding: "Aw, thanks Ruth!" It comes as Sian took to Instagram on Sunday to share her excitement over her new role. She said: "I'm trying to be cool, calm and collected, but I'm hosting This Morning tomorrow!
"I can't believe this, I'm on the actual main show. I don't know who allowed this. Am I ready? Am I a liability? I'm not sure but thankfully I will be with Dermot who is a beacon of joy and an ultimate professional."
She continued: "And he's going to take me under his wing, and I feel very safe. So, yes I will be with Dermot on Monday on This Morning, tune in if you want to see the carnage that could happen because honestly at this moment I don't know what is going to happen, I'm just going to wing it." Former This Morning presenter Ruth rushed to support her friend and commented: "Go Sian!!"
