Ruth Langsford admits she’s accepted her body after menopause made her boobs bigger

She’s a much loved daytime television presenter. 

And, Ruth Langsford, 61, has admitted that she’s ‘accepted’ her shape after menopause made her boobs bigger, but confessed she doesn’t believe she has ever been ‘body confident’.

The Loose Women star also defended husband Eamonn Holmes, 61, for previously making jibes about her body on live on television, while they co-hosted This Morning.

Asked if she feels confident about her body, Ruth told Woman magazine: ‘If I’m honest, I don’t think I’ve ever been body confident. The menopause has changed my shape; my boobs are bigger, I’m generally just bigger, but it hasn’t ruined my life.

‘There’s a certain amount of acceptance for me and if you have that, you don’t battle with it.’

Ruth was also asked about Eamonn previously joking about her body on live television, which led the presenter to defend her husband.

She said: ‘He would never do that if I didn’t know he was joking, that would be horrendous.  

‘He’s always told me that I’m gorgeous and beautiful. He’ll say: “You look great in those jeans.” That’s why he’s able to crack those jokes.’ 

In February, Eamonn was slammed by This Morning viewers after he made a jibe about his wife’s size on the show. 

The presenter was accused of ‘body shaming’ Ruth during the It’s Behind You segment where a viewer calls in and describes what is behind the hosts, who have to guess the right answer. 

During the game, a picture of Kate Middleton appeared on screen, with the caller saying: ‘She’s very thin,’ and ‘she’s married to…’ before his time ran out.

Eamonn turned to Ruth when he heard ‘thin’ and said: ‘She’s very thin, well it’s not you darling.’ 

Ruth ignored her husband’s remark and correctly guessed it was Kate Middleton before Eamonn added: ‘He wouldn’t say she was very thin and married to Eamonn Holmes, would he! No, he wouldn’t have done that!’
