Ruth Langsford's three-word response on if she'd return to This Morning as she arrives in Oz
by Tom BryantHead of Showbiz · RSVP LiveRuth Langsford has backed her fellow Loose Women to triumph in the Jungle - as she said she would say “never say never” to a This Morning return.
The presenter was all smiles as she arrived into Australia to take part on the spin-off I’m A Celebrity show.
Ruth is being flown in by ITV because she is a fellow Loose Women colleague of Jane Moore, 62, and also works with GK Barry, 25.

She said at Brisbane Airport: “I think Jane is doing so well. Of course I am backing her to win, but of course I have Grace as well. I have two Loose Women. Maybe it could be a double win and two Queens of the Jungle.”
Talking about Jane’s performance, she added: “I thought Jane was extraordinary in her challenge when she swam underwater.That was extremely difficult, I would not have been able to do that. She was very calm, and you noticed that the only person who didn’t scream on the bus was Jane. She is a good woman.”
The former This Morning host - sporting a fresh blow-dry and bronzed tan - is heading into the jungle for a role on ITV2 series, Unpacked.
She also opened up about This Morning which is set for a shake-up after its exec producer stepped down.
Asked about the This Morning changes, she said: “I don’t know, I haven’t been on it for two years.” Asked if she would fancy going back, she said: “Never say never.”
But she ruled out going into the Jungle, adding: “Absolutely not.”
Ruth has been busy documenting her trip on social media.
Posting on her Instagram Stories, she shared three suitcases and captioned the image: "Australia here I come!! Never could travel light!!! @imacelebrity."
After landing in Dubai for the stop-over, she said "goodbye grey skies" as she enjoyed a glass of fizz.
She then said her adventure was about to begin before sharing she will appear on Unpacked on Friday.
She went on to share a magazine article about her saying she was on her way to the jungle.
She laughed as she captioned the image: "Reading about myself on the plane … bizarre! Can’t believe I’ll be within touching distance of @janepmoore!!"
Ruth is taking her spot on the Unpacked couch, following on Colson Smith from Coronation Street.
She will be a guest host alongside the show's presenters, Joel Dommett, Sam Thompson and Kemi Rodgers.
The TV star announced the end of her 14-year marriage to her former co-star Eamonn, 64, in May.
He has since moved on with relationship counsellor Katie Alexander, 43.
