Loose Women’s Ruth Langsford candidly opened up about her experiences with ageing on Monday’s show, admitting that ‘everything has drooped and sagged’ – only to be met with a brutal response from the studio audience.

The TV presenter, 64, lifted the lid on the changes she’s noticed in her body since she hit 60 as the panel discussed ‘dramatic ageing’.

It was prompted by a new study which found that rather than experiencing a slow, gradual decline, our bodies change dramatically around the ages of 44 and 60.

Kicking off the discussion, Ruth said: ‘Actually I saw this article, it was in the Daily Mail today with various women talking about it and it really resonated with me.

‘Definitely when I hit 60 it seems to have happened very quickly. So, you know, kind of 50 to 60, you know me I don’t really worry too much about age.’

She added: ‘But 60, until now, I’m 64, I feel that everything has kind of drooped and sagged and it’s a bit you know, funny neck…’

As the presenter trailed off in thought, the audience burst into fits of laughter, to which Ruth responded: ‘I do, I do!’

She glanced over at the studio audience and swiped: ‘You’re supposed to go, no Ruth, no, surely not,’ which sparked another wave of giggles.

Panelist Kelly Holmes jumped in and asked Ruth: ‘Do you actually see it and feel it in yourself?’

‘I can see it,’ Ruth admitted, ‘I look in the mirror or you know if you take a selfie or something, whereas before I didn’t really notice it.’

She continued: ‘We promote very much on here body positivity and confidence, age is just a number, so I do teeter on this kind of tightrope of trying very hard to be that woman.

‘Then I have those moments where I fall off the tightrope to go, ‘Oh my God, look at my neck, it’s awful.’

On the other hand, when Brenda Edwards was asked about if she is bothered by ageing, she confidently responded: ‘Absolutely not, not bothered at all.

She added: ‘But 60, until now, I’m 64, I feel that everything has kind of drooped and sagged and it’s a bit you know, funny neck…’

On the other hand, when Brenda Edwards was asked about if she is bothered by ageing, she confidently responded: ‘Absolutely not, not bothered at all’

‘Everybody says old – you can be three years OLD, and five years OLD, and fifty years OLD, so that is a mindset. I’m kind of done with people saying because you get to 40 or 60 you’re old.

‘No. I’m young at heart and I smile a lot – that’s why I have no wrinkles on my face at 55 years old.’

It comes just after a debate in a previous episode of the ITV daytime show took an explosive turn.

Last week, Kaye Adams raged ‘why are you arguing to kill people?!’ at the show’s stunned guest, Mariella Frostrup, as their smoking ban debate got heated.

During the episode, Kaye, Mariella, Frankie Bridge and Nadia Sawalha chatted about the recent potential smoking ban.

On Thursday, Keir Starmer confirmed he was considering a ban on outdoor smoking amid claims it could see Brits barred from lighting up in beer gardens or outside stadiums.

But, like the rest of the nation, the panellists could not agree on whether the potential ban is a step in the right direction.

Kaye argued that the government has already done damage limitation, reduced the number of people who smoke in the UK and that the ban could have more negative impacts on the NHS than initially thought.

But Mariella, who is an ex-smoker, and Frankie Bridge didn’t quite see eye-to-eye with the panelist.

They argued the point of avoiding a nanny state and confessed they felt the government was hypocritical because they benefited from the taxes.

The panellists argued that if the government are going to ban smoking outside pubs and around outdoor spaces, then they should just ban smoking entirely.

Kaye argued: ‘That is why they don’t ban it. That is why they do things like putting it behind plain packaging, the put warnings on it. They raised the prices. They do everything they can to reduce the number of people who smoke and to do damage limitation. That is what they have done very successfully. Only 10 percent of the public now smoke…’

Cutting in, Frankie Bridge quipped: ‘But they have done that and now they have brought out another version of [vapes] which is dangerous.’

Appearing frustrated with her fellow co-panelists, Kaye said: ‘I just don’t understand why you seem to be arguing to kill people.’
