Now that she’s presenting This Morning to millions of viewers every day while Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield take the summer off, Ruth Langsford has gone on a serious health kick to get herself TV ready.

After admitting that she ‘ate what she wanted’ on a recent family holiday, Ruth, 58, is now embracing healthy lifestyle changes.

The presenter has been sharing her journey, which involves weight training and completing 10,000 steps a day, with followers on social media.

But despite her best efforts, her husband and This Morning co-host Eamonn Holmes isn’t giving her the encouragement she needs, after teasing her about her weight-loss mission live on TV.

Ruth has previously opened up about her TV body battle, saying, ‘There are loads of times when I forget to hold my stomach in, and I see a shot of myself and think, “Ooh, my pot belly!” Television really accentuates it.’

She added, ‘One week I think, “I’ll do my steps and not drink,” and I might lose a couple of pounds, but then it goes back on again.’

So will Ruth be able to keep up her strict new regime?
