Ruth’s sophisticated bob was expertly trimmed by stylist Leo Bancroft, with the star still rocking her fringe, but looking a lighter blonde than usual.
Showing her approval at the look in the mirror, she smiled to the camera and captioned the clip: ‘The Master at work!’
Ruth’s glamorous makeover comes after her ex Eamonn Holmes, 64, moved on from their split by embarking on new romance with Katie Alexander, 42, and even enjoyed a recent holiday together.

The GB News host revealed last week that he ‘can no longer walk or look after himself’ in a frank new video.
After surgery on his back in 2022 for a slipped disc, Eamonn has not been able to walk unaided and often relies on a wheelchair.
He took to Instagram alongside S Club 7’s Jo O’Meara, who got in touch with him after hearing about his spinal troubles two years ago as she had suffered the same crippling pain.
The former This Morning presenter emotionally revealed he can no longer look after himself – amid his new relationship with Katie.
It comes after the Mail reported that Ruth has removed the stairlift from their £3.5million Surrey home. The couple announced their split earlier this year after 14 years of marriage.
Ruth installed the stairlift in January 2023 to help him get to bed as he struggled with chronic back pain from slipped discs and a dislocated pelvis. He had had surgery four months earlier but still needed help around the house.
Soon after family friend and TV presenter Rylan Clark visited the now estranged couple’s home. He posted a video of himself going up the stairs on it.
In the emotional video, Eamonn admitted his former days of independence have come to an end as he pleaded his followers to adopt a dog as he petted Bella.
Eamonn, who used to share a rescue dog, Maggie, with his ex-wife Ruth, also revealed that losing his ability to walk also had an impact.
He captioned the clip: ‘Think about giving Bella a home. If I could walk and look after myself she would be mine but instead you could be me. Talk to @TheK9Angels . Absolutely lovely Doggie.’

He underwent spinal surgery in 2022 following years of chronic back pain and previously had a double-hip replacement in 2016
Eamonn uses a wheelchair due to chronic back pain as well as undergoing painful physio sessions.
Speaking in January he said the ‘harsh reality’ could be that he may never be able to walk unaided again.
In 2016, Eamonn underwent a double-hip replacement operation lasting three-and-a-quarter hours after living with acute pain for many years.
Speaking about his operation at the time, Eamonn said: ‘ Was I nervous? No! It was just like being on television. In the build-up I was stressed — can I do this? Will I handle it?’
Two years later, Eamonn detailed his battle with shingles and how he was struck with the virus on his son Declan’s wedding day.
During an appearance on Loose Women in September 2021, he spoke about his health battle which left him unable to work on This Morning three years ago.
He also shared images of his puffy face covered in marks and scabs during his battle.
Shingles is a viral rash caused by varicella zoster virus, the virus which causes chickenpox, being reactivated. In the UK, 90 per cent of adults have had chickenpox, so will have this virus lying dormant in their nervous systems.

He eventually discovered it was three slipped discs that affected the movement of his right leg
His years of chronic back pain started in spring 2021 – which came completely out of nowhere, with the pain leaving Eamonn reliant on a walking stick.
He eventually discovered the root cause was three slipped discs that affected the movement of his right leg.
In September 2022, Eamonn was forced to step away from his GB news show as he underwent vital back surgery to aid his chronic back pain.
Following his surgery, he revealed that despite physiotherapy, he continues to find his lack of mobility stops him from doing simple things and is forced to rely on others, which he described as ‘soul destroying’.
His spinal surgery left him with a weakened left leg,and just over two weeks into his recovery from the operation, Eamonn fell backwards down 18 stairs at the Surreyhome, hitting the stone floor at the bottom and causing him further leg weakness and a broken shoulder.
The former This Morning host admitted at the time that fracturing his shoulder in a fall is a ‘massive setback’.
A year after his spinal surgery, Eamonn underwent a spine and neck stretching procedure in September 2023 after admitting he ‘couldn’t walk’.
Eamonn admitted he ‘hadn’t recovered’ from his back surgery, confessing: ‘I can’t run, I can’t walk, I can’t do anything except watch TV and eat.’
He explained: ‘I just got problems last year in my back, which I haven’t recovered from. It’s not good, it’s not a good recipe I have to say.’
Prior to their split estranged wife Ruth revealed she feared Eamonn ‘might never be 100 per cent right’.
