Ruth Lansford prepares to jet off to Australia after being snapped up by I’m A Celeb spin-off bosses
RUTH Langsford is getting ready for her trip to Australia after being snapped up by I’m a Celeb spin-off show bosses.
The 64-year-old took to Instagram to reveal she’s packing ahead of going Down Under to support close pal Jane Moore.
Sun columnist Jane, 62, is one of this year’s campmates and her Loose Women co-star Ruth will join I’m a Celebrity Unpacked hosts Joel Dommett, Sam Thompson and Kemi Rodgers.
Ruth shared a clip of her travel hacks while packing the essentials, revealing how she manages to compress her clothes for the suitcase.
Earlier this month The Sun told how Ruth had been signed up to appear on the show following her shock split from husband Eamonn Holmes in May.
An insider said: “It’s been a tough year for Ruth and she’s been putting her best foot forward, she’s thrilled to have been asked to appear on this the spin off show and fly to Australia ahead of Christmas.
“She’s rooting for Jane and can’t wait to give her opinion on how she is getting on.
“The production team are particularly excited they have landed Ruth to join them as they think she’ll be amazing and give the new format a boost.”
Eamonn, 64, has already moved on from his marriage to Ruth, going public with new girlfriend Katie Alexander, 43.
The trip comes after Ruth took a savage swipe at Eamonn after he moved out of their £3.5million home.
During a Loose Women discussion on the topic of antiques, the panel debated whether they “hang onto old bits of tat” or chuck them out.
Ruth then cheekily remarked: “I’m throwing out a lot of stuff out at the moment”, which had the audience in hysterics.
Amused Coleen Nolan couldn’t resist giving Ruth a clap over the hilarious dig.
Ruth also recently fired back at trolls who questioned why she is still wearing her wedding ring.
She defiantly told them: “Because I’m still married.”
