Ruth Langsford has dropped hints about a possible return to the This Morning sofa as she arrived in Australia for the I’m A Celebrity spin-off show Unpacked. The TV personality, who previously co-hosted the show with her ex-husband Eamonn Holmes for 14 years, expressed openness to the idea, saying, "Never say never."
Possible Comeback
Ruth Langsford, along with Rylan Clark and Amanda Holden, is rumored to be in line for a sensational return to This Morning amidst a significant shake-up at the popular morning show. The long-serving boss of the show, Martin Frizell, recently announced his departure, leading to speculations about new faces joining the presenting team.
The End of an Era
The departure of Martin Frizell, who has been described as "mercurial and fearless," marks the end of an era for This Morning. While ITV plans to open the role up to external candidates, there is strong speculation that current Associate Editor Vivek Sharma might be the frontrunner for the position. Sharma is seen as a fresh and innovative choice to revitalize the show and engage with a younger audience.
A Family Priority
Martin Frizell cited family priorities as the reason for his departure, noting that he needs to free up time to care for his wife, former GMTV presenter Fiona Phillips, who was diagnosed with Alzheimer's in 2022. Frizell expressed his love for his team at ITV and his pride in the work they have done during his tenure, covering important topics like suicide, menopause, and testicular cancer.
