Ruth Langsford shares health update on elderly mother after horror fall as she prepares for first Christmas since Eamonn Holmes split

Ruth Langsford has shared a health update on her elderly mother as she prepares for her first Christmas since her split from Eamonn Holmes.

The Loose Women presenter, 64, who has been regularly visiting her 94-year-old mum Joan in the hospital after her horror fall, posted a video on Instagram Tuesday evening.

In the clip, Ruth shared a glimpse of her Christmas preparations from her kitchen, updating followers on how things were going.

She told the camera: ‘Hello, this feels like déjà vu because last Christmas Eve, I think I was standing in the kitchen like this, with a roller in my hair, talking about last-minute things and how come I’m never organised and have everything done like people that are going to carol services tonight and pantos and everything’s done, and I haven’t got everything done.

‘And my mum, my mum is in hospital, to be fair, and I’ve been doing a lot of hospital visits, but that’s no excuse because, you know, I’ve had all year to prep. So I’m here, look, wrapping presents, I’ve laid the table over there, and there’s Maggie.

‘I have made my cranberry sauce today, but still some bits and bobs to do.

‘I’ve got to wrap Maggie’s stocking from Santa. Shhh. And here I am, roller in, but I have got a glass of fizz.

‘So if I don’t get to speak to you tomorrow, Merry Christmas to you and yours. I hope you have a wonderful day, whatever you’re doing. Have a good one, and cheers.’

Earlier in the day, Ruth showed fans the horrific bruising on her mother Joan’s face after she suffered a fall last week.

Displaying Joan’s painful injuries, Ruth wrote: ‘Mum’s got a right shiner after her fall! [crying face emoji] Trying to soothe it with Arnica cream’.

Keeping spirits high, Ruth joked: ’94 years old and hardly a grey hair… I’m hoping I’ve inherited the gene!’

Ruth explained at the time of the fall that this year’s Christmas was going to be different as she looks set to spend it without her mother.

The star revealed that this isn’t the first time her mother has broken her pelvis but was hoping she would recover as well as she did last time.

Ruth wrote: ‘No dancing in my kitchen peeling the veg for my darling Mum this Christmas….she’s had a fall and fractured her pelvis!
