Ruth Langsford has hit back at fans for suggesting she has secretly been going to the hairdressers. The Loose Women panellist vehemently denied the claims, telling her followers the secret to her hair looking healthy and shiny. "A few people have been saying, 'Oh Ruth, have you secretly been having your roots done?' Eh, no! Look at them… look how dark," she said in a video.

"If I have been having my roots done by a hairdresser, I would be asking for my money back. So I absolutely haven't, I had them done just before lockdown – fortunately. But the dark hairs are coming through a lot."

Many fans were quick to respond, with many sympathising with her roots coming through. "I'm in the same boat... dark/grey roots, no nails and a fringe needing help pronto," wrote one, while another remarked: "I don't know how you manage it, but for some reason the root growth really suits you!" A third post read: "Looking nice as ever there Ruth. My hair has behaved slightly better than I thought it would but colour really does need doing now!!"
