Ruth Langsford addresses claims she is feuding with ITV star trends now

Ruth Langsford has addressed claims she is feuding with a fellow ITV star.

The Loose Women presenter, 63, already found herself embroiled in the This Morning drama after she was accused of failing to acknowledge her nemesis Holly Willoughby, 42, live on air on Tuesday. 

Despite this, Loose Women viewers have been convinced that Ruth is also feuding with her co-star Coleen Nolan, 58, a fact she has now dismissed.

During the show, the panel were discussing therapy, when Coleen called Ruth her 'confidante' prompting the audience to sigh.  

Giving her friend a big smile, Ruth said 'Don't believe the magazine covers!' after several outlets had reported that things were frosty between them.

Moreover, Ruth had joked about Coleen's age earlier in the show. 

When Coleen reminisced about ice cream parlours in the sixties, Ruth teased: 'It was 102 years ago, yeah'.

Back in October, the pair were discussing funny women and Coleen had said that she believes she is funny.  

Ruth jibed: 'You're not that funny,' as the audience gasped. 

Coleen hit back: 'You know this is going to be all over the magazines next week. Because we're always at war!'

'We are always at war, we have been at war for years!' Ruth retorted.' 

Ruth was accused of failing to acknowledge her nemesis Holly during a live link on ITV on Tuesday after her husband Eamonn recently criticised her.

The awkward moment is the second one the pair have faced following a live link the day before, which saw Ruth, gritting her teeth. 

The interaction began when Ruth spoke to  Holly's co-host Josie Gibson, 38, and joked about how they were both wearing green outfits - Holly has green in her outfit too! 

'We've got the green memo today Josie. You look great!' Ruth said. 

However, during another section of the show, Ruth did in fact greet Holly and Josie together - although fans didn't seem to notice this.

Earlier in the programme, agony aunt Deidre Sanders, 77, praised Holly and This Morning amid claims of toxicity. 

She said: 'It's lovely to be back. Holly, it's great to work with you and it's nice to be back in a kind, caring environment.' 

And the day before. Holly was forced to share a toe-curling live link with Ruth, whose husband Eamonn Holmes has been outspoken in his criticism of the This Morning host and her former friend Phillip Schofield. 

Viewers cringed as Holly introduced Ruth, who is reportedly still close to the young show runner with whom Schofield had an affair.

Holly sitting alongside Josie and US singer and honorary Queen frontman Adam Lambert who was a guest on the sofa, said: 'Let's find out what Loose Women are talking about today. Hi there, Ruth!'

Ruth replied: 'Yeah, we love Adam Lambert, too!', before blowing him kisses. 

The exchange came after Ruth's husband Eamonn issued repeated and brutal criticisms of both Schofield and Holly in the wake of the scandal engulfing This Morning. 

He made allegations about a toxic culture on the show and said that the presenting pair ‘use’ people and should both have quit. 

Awks! Ruth's husband Eamonn has been pretty scathing about Holly in recent interviews making things no doubt a little tense between them

On Monday, a tearful Holly returned to the show after a two-week break. 

In a statement, she admitted she felt 'shaken, troubled' and 'let down' after her disgraced former co-host lied to her and ITV colleagues over his affair with the younger man who worked on the show.

But viewers hit out at the 'melodramatic, scripted and soulless words', which she read out while seemingly on the brink of tears alongside co-host Josie Gibson.

And that same day. on his GB News show, Eamonn called for 'anyone watching today who has kissed Phillip , let us know'.

He said last week on GB News: 'Well, she wanted him not there, so what is she moaning about? Holly is being as false as he is and nobody is talking about the elephant in the room.'

Mimicking her, he continued: 'Oh, the couch will not be the same without him being there.

'They deserve each other. She says "I thank him for all his knowledge, experience and humour." All the things that she didn’t have when she came to the show. 

'Well, it’s true. I would call that stabbing in the back. I could give you a list of the lack of kindness and lack of awareness from both of them.'

Eamonn's words had come after Holly first issued a statement about Phillip's departure. 

She spoke again about the fall-out with Phillip on Monday morning with an emotional monologue about her former best friend. 

She said it 'feels very strange indeed' to be on the show without Phillip, adding that the team 'gave our love and support to someone who was not telling the truth'.

Eamonn launched a fresh attack on Phillip again on Monday, insisting he doesn't believe the former ITV star's claim that he has made 'one mistake' in his 40-year career.

In a bombshell interview last week, Phillip said he believed his career was over and he had 'lost everything' after admitting he lied about his relationship with the young man.

Holly's monologue in full...  

'Right, deep breath. Firstly, are you OK? I hope so.' 

She stated it 'feels very strange indeed sitting here without Phil and I imagine that you might have been feeling a lot like I have. Shaken, troubled, let down, worried for the wellbeing of people on all sides of what's been going on and full of questions'.

'All of us at This Morning gave our love and support to someone who was not telling the truth, who acted in a way that they themselves felt they had to resign from ITV and step down from a career that they loved. That is a lot to process'.

She added: 'It's equally hard to see the toll it's taken on their own mental health. I think what unites us all now is a desire to heal for the health and wellbeing of everyone. 

'I hope that as we start this new chapter and get back to a place of warmth and magic that the show holds for all of us, we can find strength in each other.

'And from the heart, can I just say thank you for all your kind messages and thank you for being here this morning. Myself, Josie, Dermot, Alison, Craig and every single person that works on this show will continue to work hard every day.'
