Whether she's hosting Loose Women or sharing her Sunday activities with her beloved mother, Joan, Ruth Langsford always looks wonderful.
Testament to her gorgeous looks, the 63-year-old graces the cover of the latest issue of Woman & Home, donning a cream blazer atop a cosy jumper, with glamorous makeup added for good measure.
While Ruth looks amazing on the cover, fans were disappointed that she appears to have been airbrushed, commenting: "Airbrushed to the hilt," and: "Too airbrushed! You don't need it Ruth you are fine just the way you are." Take a look at Ruth's shoot below...
Hitting back at the comments that her appearance has been airbrushed, Ruth wrote: "Yes... And I love it!! Have a look at my Instagram posts… it’s very clear I don’t actually look like this but who doesn’t like a bit of glam now and then?!"
Another fan commented: "Prefer you more natural Ruth – sorry," to which the Loose Woman star replied: "Don’t be sorry. You’re entitled to your opinion. You know I don’t really look like this but I love getting a bit of glam on every now and then!"
Others of Ruth's followers defended her, heaping praise on the star's appearance – with or without airbrushing.
"Oh Ruth you look amazing. Ignore the haters, you are a beautiful woman inside and out and a fabulous cover girl. You are a classy lady," one wrote, while another commented: "Ruth you look beautiful whichever way you are, but getting some glam on for Christmas is a wonderful pick me up."
Others couldn't believe the negative reactions, writing: "I will never understand how people feel they can say something rude about a person they don’t actually know! How would they feel if random people started critiquing them? Just scroll by with your thoughts please," and: "Can’t you just let her have a glam day and leave it at that, she enjoyed and if makes her feel great then you enjoy Ruth!"
