Six months after the announcement, Ruth told Woman&Home that she what she most wants in life is "happiness" for her son Jack. "When you have children, you look at them starting out in life and you just want everything to be good for them, for them to be happy and to not have their hearts broken," explained the TV star. "You can't guarantee any of that, but that's what I want most for Jack," she added.

Ruth joined her 94-year-old mum, who lives with Alzheimer's disease, in hospital on Boxing Day and took her a slice of Christmas cake before keeping her company whilst she did her crossword puzzle.

She’s had a fall and fractured her pelvis! She's OK…ish, no surgery required thank goodness, but she needs rest and time to heal now. She’s in hospital at the moment, but I'm hoping to get her home soon.
