Ruth Langsford's mother Joan, 93, rushed to hospital after fall as presenter reveals she will be staying in over the Christmas period to recover

Ruth Langsford has revealed her mother has been rushed to hospital after suffering a fall in an emotional update on her Instagram on Saturday.

The TV presenter, 64, revealed her mum Joan, 93, would be spending some time in hospital to recover after breaking her pelvis over the Christmas period.

The Loose Women panellist posted a heartwarming video of her mother dancing and singing in the kitchen as she cut vegetables to her 1million followers. 

Alongside the clip Ruth explained that this year's Christmas was going to be different as she looks set to spend it without her mother.

She wrote that Joan had recently had injured herself after a fall and would need to spend some time in hospital.

The star revealed that this isn't the first time her mother has broken her pelvis but was hoping she would recover as well as she did last time.

Ruth wrote: 'No dancing in my kitchen peeling the veg for my darling Mum this Christmas….she's had a fall and fractured her pelvis! 

'She's ok…ish, no surgery required thank goodness but she needs rest and time to heal now. 

'She's in hospital at the moment but I'm hoping to get her home soon. 

'This time last year she fell and broke her hip but recovered well…she's a very strong woman so I'm sure she'll recover from this too. 

'Put's life and what's important into perspective eh? Happy Christmas! X x'.

The news of Ruth's mother's fall comes after her former husband Eamonn Holmes sparked engagement rumours with his new girlfriend Katie Alexander.

The presenter, 65, sparked speculation after Katie was spotted wearing a large ring on her engagement finger during a romantic getaway to Paris last week.

The TV star has been dating counsellor Katie, 43, since his split from Ruth and has reportedly spoken openly of his hopes to tie the knot.

Eamonn and Loose Women star Ruth announced their plans to divorce in June after 14 years of marriage and 27 years together.

'Eamonn has been talking openly about his plans to marry Katie and has made it clear he wants to spend the rest of his life with her,' a source told The Sun.

'They're already living together and he knows it feels right. They have a very strong connection and get on very well.

'She has given him a real lust for life and she looks after him.'

In pictures obtained by the publication, the couple headed to the Louvre, with Katie wearing a gold diamond ring on her engagement finger.

The counsellor was not pictured wearing the band at a Christmas carol concert in West London on December 5.

MailOnline has contacted Eamonn's representatives for comment.

Katie has reportedly told friends she is in for 'the long haul' with the GB News host.

She has been helping Eamonn through the split from Ruth, with the couple heading on holiday together in recent months.

But her friends say she is at pains to point out that their friendship has only grown close once the marriage was over in May.

An onlooker said at the time: 'Katie certainly seems to be able to put a smile back on Eamonn's face. They seem genuinely besotted with each other.'

The getaway reportedly left Eamonn's estranged wife Ruth shocked, with the Ibiza holiday occurring just four months after the former golden couple announced they were divorcing.

They then made their first public appearance as a couple at The Irish Post Awards last month, but the former GMB presenter requested that photographers not take pictures of them together.

Katie met Eamonn on X in 2015 after she commented on a post and it sparked a conversation.

Last October he attended a charity fundraising event in Huddersfield, West Yorkshire and became a patron. Katie has worked for the charity as a therapist.
