Ruth Langsford made a grisly confession on Loose Women which left both her co-stars and viewers at home equally shocked.

Tuesday’s episode of the popular ITV daytime show saw the star, 64, present alongside fellow panellists Denise Welch, 66, Janet Street-Porter, 78, and Judi Love, 44.

Ruth joined in with a discussion on the show about etiquette around picking up dog faeces. 

Towards the end, the conversation took a turn and Ruth made the shocking revelation that she had relieved herself in ‘a bit of a clearing with some bushes’ while out running. 

She explained how she was on a run and felt a ‘cramping’ sensation. 

‘My my top lip started to sweat and my eyes are darting,’ she added, explaining that she was in a residential area.

Ruth went on: ‘And I go, ‘I’m never going to make it home’ and I’m sweating and suddenly I just see a bit of a clearing with some bushes and I just literally flew in, leggings down and then leggings up and I was so shocked that I just sH๏τ back out of the bushes.’

‘I went home shaking the whole time thinking, ‘Please [say] no one saw me,” she said.

Viewers took to social media to share their shock at Ruth’s admission, and one posted on social media: ‘I’ll never look at Ruth Langsford in quite the same way again. #LooseWomen.’

Last week, Ruth opened up about her divorce from Eamonn Holmes for the first time since they announced their split last year. 

The couple were together for 27 years and married for 14, and have one child together, 22-year-old Jack Holmes. 

Shortly after their separation, Eamonn went public with his new relationship with dating counsellor Katie Alexander, 43, while Ruth remains publicly single.

Speaking to Woman & Home about their divorce, Ruth insisted that she is determined to look ahead and feels an enthusiasm for what’s next, including meeting someone new.

When asked how she is feeling now, Ruth said: ‘I’m alright. Relationship breakdowns are very difficult – marriage, friendship, whatever it is – but you just deal with it and you have to move on. 

‘You can either let yourself crumble or you pick yourself up and get on with life. It’s a choice.’

She added: ‘I’m not delighted my marriage is over but I’ve accepted that my marriage is over, so I am trying to now embrace the fact that I’m single and can make choices that are just about me.’
