Despite her history on the This Morning set, Ruth showed no sign of awkwardness and seemed completely at ease to be back alongside her Loose Women colleagues as she laughed and joked with them. No mention was made of her time as This Morning host.

Pointing to Ruth and Coleen, Ben said “The two of you have been on it (Loose Women) from the beginning?” To which Ruth confirmed: “And Jane.”

“Did you think when you did that first ever show it would still be going 25 years on?” Ben added. Jane replied: “No it was only commissioned for four weeks – at the end of the four weeks we all went ‘bye’. It was really lovely, what fun and then it got recommissioned and it just kept coming back.”

The women also joked about their glamorous coordinated silver outifts to mark the show’s silver anniversary with Coleen joking: “I got on the train like this!”

Meanwhile former This Morning host Phillip Schofield is about to make his TV comeback on a Channel 5 documentary, Phillip Schofield Cast Away, which launches on Monday, September 30.
