Ruth Langsford sets record straight on 'mystery man'
Television presenter Ruth Langsford returned to screens on Tuesday, November 4, joining GK Barry, Denise Welch, and Jane Moore on Loose Women. During the show, she addressed online rumours suggesting she was in a new relationship after photos showed her with an unidentified man.
The host, 65, clarified that the circulating image was artificially created and that she remains single. The discussion quickly drew public attention as Ruth shared her surprise over the situation.
"Unknown to me, apparently I have a man. I don't know who the woman in the bobble hat is because it is clearly not me and I'm not sure who that man is."
Denise Welch commented on the image:
"I thought that was you but in AI. It is you in AI."
To which Ruth replied:
"Well it's something... They've done something to it."
The fabricated photo was paired with an equally false story describing how the supposed couple met. Referring to that article, Ruth said:
"The full story girls is heartbreak, closure and a love that came full circle."
She added that friends contacted her after seeing the viral post:
"Apparently, according to the article that is all over Facebook or something because friends kept ringing me up and going 'have you got a new man that you haven't told us about' I said 'no'."
