Ruth Langsford, 64, has provided an update on her mother, Joan, who is currently in the hospital after a serious fall. The 93-year-old fractured her pelvis in the accident, which has disrupted their Christmas plans. Ruth, who is best known for her role as a presenter on Loose Women, had previously shared the news of her mother's injury with fans, expressing concern over the impact it would have on their holiday celebrations.
In an Instagram post today, Ruth updated fans with a video of Joan in her hospital bed, watching films on an iPad. Ruth captioned the post: "Hospital visiting." She added: "She chose Dad's Army again today.". Earlier this month, Ruth shared footage of her mother's agonising injuries after her fall. Ruth has been giving regular updates on the condition of her 94-year-old mother, Joan, who fractured her pelvis after losing her footing. Ruth has been at her mother's side as she continues to receive treatment - and has been doing her best to aid her recovery herself.
Taking to Instagram Stories over the weekend, Ruth gave fans a close look at some of the injuries Joan sustained - uploading a video of her rubbing some cream onto a large purple bruise that is on her head. She wrote in an accompanying caption: "Mum’s got a right shiner after her fall! Trying to soothe it with Arnica cream.".
But looking for some positivity among the misery, Ruth pointed out that Joan has an impressive natural colour of hair despite being in her ninth decade of life. The TV star commented: "94 yrs old and hardly a grey hair… I’m hoping I’ve inherited the gene!".
