The presenter has two co-stars competing in the jungle
Ruth Langsford has issued a message of support to her Loose Women co-star Jane Moore. The former This Morning presenter arrived in Brisbane Airport today to take part in I’m A Celebrity’s spin off show.
The presenter was all smiles as she arrived as she landed in Australia. She told The Mirror at Brisbane Airport: “I think Jane is doing so well. Of course I am backing her to win, but of course I have Grace as well. I have two Loose Women. Maybe it could be a double win and two Queens of the Jungle.”
Ruth has appeared alongside Jane Moore on the ITV chat show for many years and in recent months alongside campmate GK Barry, who became the youngest Loose Women panellist. Talking about Jane’s time in the jungle so far, Ruth added: “I thought Jane was extraordinary in her challenge when she swam underwater that was extremely difficult.

“I would not have been able to do that. She was very calm, and you noticed that the only person who didn’t scream on the bus was Jane. She is a good woman.” Although Ruth was full of praise for Jane’s efforts, viewers were much more critical.
The 62-year-old came under fire from fans during the episode. The trial saw the contestants try to each navigate a tunnel with one above ground and the other below ground.
Maura was distraught during the trial and ended up in tears after she faced her fear of spiders. Jane swam through the water tunnels but refused to go in the part of the tunnel that was completely underwater.
Annoyed fans on X, formerly known as Twitter said: “Nooo I’m so annoyed Jane skipped past so many without even bothering why has she gone back acting like she had it hard.” Another commented: “I knowJjane is not dishing out advice to Maura when she skipped 50% of the trial.”
Asked about the This Morning changes, Ruth said: “I don’t know, I haven’t been on it for two years.” Asked if she would fancy going back, she said: “Never say never.” But she ruled out going into the jungle, adding: “Absolutely not.”
Ruth will appear on the Unpacked couch tomorrow, Friday, November 29 where she will talk about the camp antics. She will be a guest host alongside the show’s presenters, Joel Dommett, Sam Thompson and Kemi Rodgers.
