Ruth Langsford made a surprising comment about returning to This Morning as she touched down at Brisbane Airport.
The presenter, 64, has jetted off to Australia to support her Loose Women co-stars Jane Moore and GK Barry, who are currently starring on I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!.
Ruth will appear on the ITV2 spin-off show I’m A Celebrity Unpacked alongside Joel Dommett, Sam Thompson and Kemi Rodgers.
Arriving at the airport, Ruth was quizzed about the upcoming overhaul at This Morning following the exit of its editor, Martin Frizell, who announced on Wednesday (November 27) that he was stepping down after 10 years.
“I don’t know, I haven’t been on it for two years,” Ruth responded.
When asked if she would ever return to the award-winning daytime programme, she remained open, simply declaring: “Never say never.”
However, she firmly dismissed any speculation of attempting three weeks in the jungle herself, adding flatly: “Absolutely not.”
Ruth previously hosted This Morning for 14 years with ex-husband Eamonn Holmes before they were sensationally axed.
The ITV star threw her support behind her two Loose Women colleagues, saying: “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.”
Reflecting on the 62-year-old’s impressive stint 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.”
Throughout her journey to Australia, Ruth has been actively updating her fans via social media.
Taking to Instagram, the TV personality excitedly posted a snapshot of her luggage with the caption: “Australia here I come!! Never could travel light!!! @imacelebrity.”
Touching down in Dubai for her stopover, she bid farewell to dreary skies by indulging in some bubbly and shared that her adventure was starting soon.
Ruth’s Instagram stories also showed her reacting to a magazine feature about herself journeying to the jungle, jesting: “Reading about myself on the plane … bizarre! Can’t believe I’ll be within touching distance of @janepmoore!!”
