Ruth's motivational clips were shared only hours after she gave some advice about body confidence in a chat about weight struggles on This Morning. During the show, one caller revealed that the menopause had made it harder for her to lose weight. The viewer, named Jessica, said: "You get depressed because everywhere you look you see Love Island models. You get the middle aged spread and your weight is getting thicker and thicker and everything you do, nothing helps."
