She is now best known for being a panellist on ITV's Loose Women, a role she has had on and off since 1999, and for being This Morning's relief host alongside her husband.

Of her lengthy career, she said: 'I didn't think I would still be working in television at 60 because when I was in my 30s you didn't see 60-year-old women in television.

'Women were farmed off when they hit 40 - but it's very different now and that's thanks to those who forged the way for older women; people like Gloria Hunniford and Janet Street-Porter.'

Her husband affectionalty gushed to the magazine: 'Ruth has a lovely attitude to life. I just stand back in awe and look at her strength and capabilities.

'She is an amazing person - I am not half the person she is. She is my great hero and she has got more into her groove as she has got older.'
