Ruth Langsford recalls time she embarrassed her son Jack
During a candid chat on Loose Women about "embarrassing" moments, Ruth Langsford opened up about her son Jack, whom she shares with Eamonn Holmes.
She reminisced: "When Jack was young, we used to... I always had music on and we would dance around the kitchen, and if we were in a supermarket and a song came on, I'd always pretend to get the band's name wrong, so I'd go, 'Oh, it's Twizzle Sticks', I love them."
Demonstrating some of her dance moves, she added: "He used to think I was really funny and I just remember one day saying...doing exactly that like I have always done and I was like, 'Jack, look Twizzle Sticks our favourite' and he was like, 'Oh mum stop it, you're so embarrassing'."
Ruth then described the moment she realised things had changed: "You know at that moment. don't you? 'Oh I have lost him' and then he went through a phase of literally he would come in and I'd go, 'Morning' and he'd go, 'What?'"
She imitated her son's reactions further: "'Do you want some breakfast' [and he'd say] 'Ugh, no!'"
In another segment of the show, the panel discussed friendships, particularly the notion that female friendships might be more fraught than male ones.
Ruth expressed her thoughts: "We suffer it on Loose Women where people think 'Aw the Loose Women are always falling out'. It's almost as if people can't accept that a woman can get along with a woman," she said, before adding, "I'm not saying there can't be catty women, but there are also catty men and b****y men too."
She went on: "I think with my friends, I've got girlfriends from school and they were with me recently and they are my 4am friends," reports the Mirror.
"I wouldn't have toxic friends and over the years I haven't had a full-blown fall out but I just distance myself from people when I start to feel that it's becoming toxic or jealousy or catty."

Myleene weighed in: "I think it's so lazy to make that kind of comment. It's just women being put against women and it's never done to men. I couldn't disagree more because my girlfriends are my absolute rock through divorce, miscarriage and everything.
"I call them my 4am because there are some girlfriends I know I can rely on to ring at 4am. I had one girlfriend who knocked on my door at 2am because she didn't hear from me."
Loose Women airs weekdays at 12.30pm on ITV.
