Ruth Langsford caused controversy on Instagram on Sunday afternoon – just by going for a walk! The presenter posted a video from her stroll with her dog Maggie, which she captioned: "Bit nippy out there today! Enjoy your daily exercise whatever it might be. Xx." The star, who told her fans: "Happy Sunday… stay safe" in the short clip, wore a white T-shirt and glasses on top of her head with her blonde hair loose in its usual bob style. However, some of her followers thought that her hair looked a little lighter than it had previously and took to the comments section to debate the issue.

Other fans, however, were convinced that the This Morning co-host had been to see a professional.

One wrote: "Someone's had some highlights," while another asserted: "Some hairdressers are open and breaking rules. I've followed Ruth for years even went to the same hairdressers. So yes, she has had highlights. Not sure about the 2m rule though, that must have gone out the window [laughing emoji]."
