Ruth Langsford breaks silence on ITV This Morning return as 'three stars set for comeback'

Ruth Langsford has spoken out about a potential return to This Morning. It comes after it was reported a shake-up is planned on the ITV show after the current boss announced his exit.

Ruth, who used to host the show alongside ex husband Eamonn Holmes, was named by sources to The Sun as one of three presenters who could return to the show amid a ratings dive. Rylan Clark and Amanda Holden are also said to be being considered to make a comeback.

As she touched down in Australia to work on the I’m A Celebrity spin-off show Unpacked, Ruth addressed a possible return, saying: “I don’t know, I haven’t been on it for two years. Never say never."

Ruth was on the show for a lengthy 14 years alongside Eamonn. They were replaced in 2020 by current hosts Dermot O'Leary and Alison Hammond.

Eamonn has taken aim at the show numerous times since, while Ruth, who is still a main presenter on the channel's Loose Women, has not spoken out about the exit. Eamonn claimed he was let go by ITV back in 2020 after remarks he made during the coronavirus crisis.

In a interview with Dan Wootton on GB News he claimed comments on 5G had sparked boss's decision to axe him. 750 complaints were lodged with broadcasting watchdog Ofcom when Eamonn questioned why the "mainstream media" had shut down alleged links between 5G and the coronavirus outbreak.

He said: "They weren't kind when they tossed me out of the door and didn't care where I was going."

Martin Frizell, 65, announced he was leaving his position of editor of the ITV show to help his family yesterday. His wife, TV star Fiona Phillips, announced she had been diagnosed with Alzheimer's last year at age 62.

He said: "Next year I'm expecting my family priorities to change so I need to free up time for them. I love my team at ITV and will miss them and the thrill of live telly but it's an always on, 24 hours a day, seven days a week commitment and I won't be able to do both."

He then added: "It's been a privilege to lead truly great presenters and producers, between us we've turned out more than six thousand hours of live topical telly, that's around 20,000 items and whilst the gongs are always nice. I'm most proud of the change we made to so many lives, even saving a fair few with our campaigns on anti suicide, menopause, testicular cancer and 'how - to' items."
