    Ruth Langsford makes awkward This Morning blunder while hosting Loose Women

    Ruth Langsford made an awkward This Morning blunder while hosting Loose Women on Tuesday’s show as she spoke to presenters Sian Welby and Dermot O’Leary

    Loose Women took an awkward turn on Tuesday when host Ruth Langsford accidentally made a This Morning blunder.

    Prior to the ITV chat show starting, This Morning hosts Sian Welby and Dermot O’Leary headed to the studio to see what Ruth, 63, and her co-stars had in store on the programme today. However, upon reading out the line-up, Ruth said: “Hello, yes, coming up on This Morning… not This Morning! You’re This Morning, we’re Loose Women. Force of habit, sorry!”

    This Morning fans will recall that Ruth used to host the show on Fridays and holidays, alongside husband Eamonn Holmes from 1999 to 2022. Ruth remains as a host on Loose Women, where she has worked since 1999.

    It comes as new This Morning presenter Sian, 37, praised Ruth for her support. The radio star, who is currently a host on the Capital FM Breakfast show after replacing Vick Hope, is one in a long line of presenters who have stepped in to help fill the void left by Holly Willoughby. This Morning bosses have been conducting a series of live auditions to see who best fits the ITV show.

    On Monday, Sian was asked to present the show with Dermot after being appointed as the new entertainment expert. Rylan Clark previously hosted the showbiz section on the programme, with Rylan going on to become a stand-in This Morning lead presenter.

    During the show, This Morning went over to Loose Women to see what was coming up with host Ruth sharing the show’s line-up. During the interaction, Sian said: “Aw, thank you Ruth! Ruth’s been so sweet to me, you know, always! She looks after me, she’s so lovely!”

    To which Ruth replied: “Well I’m delighted to see you there Sian!” with Sian responding: “Aw, thanks Ruth!” It comes as Sian took to Instagram on Sunday to share her excitement over her new role. She said: “I’m trying to be cool, calm and collected, but I’m hosting This Morning tomorrow!

    “I can’t believe this, I’m on the actual main show. I don’t know who allowed this. Am I ready? Am I a liability? I’m not sure but thankfully I will be with Dermot who is a beacon of joy and an ultimate professional.”

    She continued: “And he’s going to take me under his wing, and I feel very safe. So, yes I will be with Dermot on Monday on This Morning, tune in if you want to see the carnage that could happen because honestly at this moment I don’t know what is going to happen, I’m just going to wing it.” Former This Morning presenter Ruth rushed to support her friend and commented: “Go Sian!!”

    ITV Loose Women’s Ruth Langsford reveals son was ‘fuming’ when she gatecrashed his party with pizza

    Loose Women host Ruth Langsford recalled her son Jack’s past 16th birthday party on Tuesday’s ITV show, where the youngster was “fuming” after she gatecrashed with pizza

    Ruth Langsford admitted her son Jack was “fuming” after she gatecrashed his 16th birthday party with pizza.

    On Tuesday’s episode of Loose Women, Ruth, 63, and her fellow panellists were discussing the topic: “Can you be a friend and a parent to your child?”, which prompted Ruth to recall her son’s, who is now 21, past sixteenth birthday celebration. Ruth shares Jack with husband Eamonn Holmes.

    Talking about children’s birthday parties, Ruth said: “Jack did not want me to be there! I always remember, I think it was his sixteenth birthday or something he had friends over.

    “I said I’d get pizzas, they were all [there], they had the kitchen, and Eamonn and I were in another room. Pizzas arrived and I went in, and because I know all his friends, they were like: ‘Oh, hi Ruth!’

    Prince Harry is being pressured by his dad King Charles to make a bold move to resolve the feud with his brother Prince William – and “neatly get around the problem of Meghan Markle”.

    That’s according to a Royal expert, who has suggested Princes Harry and William could be on the brink of mending their strained relationship, due to “pressure” from their father, King Charles III. Tom Quinn, a Royal commentator and author, has revealed that the Duke of Sussex is being urged by the King to find a UK residence so that Charles can spend more quality time with his grandchildren, Archie and Lillibet. This move could potentially pave the way for a reunion between the two brothers on British soil. However, Mr Quinn doubts that Meghan Markle would accompany her husband, given her past negative experiences with the Royal Family.

    Speaking exclusively to The Mirror, Mr Quinn stated: “King Charles has been putting pressure on Harry to do just this as he is angry that his only relationship with his grandchildren so far is via video calls, which Charles hates. William and Kate’s children would spend the weekend at Highgrove and Harry’s children could then easily pop over from their house nearby. This would neatly get round the problem of Meghan – she just wouldn’t need to be there and the children could be whisked back to the States after a week or two.”

    Despite Quinn’s speculations, Harry’s life is currently rooted in the US and he has previously discussed the possibility of becoming an American citizen. During an interview with Good Morning America, he was asked whether he had considered applying for citizenship in the States.During an interview with William Reeve, Prince Harry was quizzed: “Do you feel American?” To which he candidly replied: “Do I feel American? No… I don’t know how I feel.”

    On the topic of potentially applying for American citizenship, Harry admitted: “I have no idea. I’m here standing next to these guys. The American citizenship is a thought that has crossed my mind, but certainly not something that is a priority for me right now.” Meanwhile, Meghan Markle appears to be thoroughly enjoying her Californian lifestyle, and Royal author Omid Scobie suggests she may never return to British soil. In his explosive book ‘Endgame’, Scobie writes that Meghan “never felt at home” in the UK and is adamant about not wanting to “set foot again in England. “Despite not attending King Charles’ Coronation last May nor accompanying Harry to his Invictus Games event earlier this year, Scobie alleges that Meghan’s absence is due to her reluctance to “dive back into the soap opera of the court”.

    Katie Piper stuns ITV Loose Women co-stars with huge hair transformation as she ditches blonde locks

    Katie Piper left her fellow Loose Women co-stars stunned on Wednesday’s show as she unveiled her jaw-dropping hair transformation.

    The presenter, 40, has rocked blonde locks but has ditched her signature hairstyle for a new gorgeous brunette look, revealing the makeover on Wednesday’s show. The Loose Women panel were left amazed over the new look with host Christine Lampard joking: “I thought we had a completely new panellist today, as well as Jill Scott, and it was Katie with new hair!”

    Talking about her new hair, Katie continued: “It’s the new me, I always feel when you change your hair colour, you’ve got to change your makeup, your jewellery, your wardrobe. I’ve experimented with my hair quite a lot over the years.

    “It is something I quite enjoy doing, I never get frightened about it, I mean, I’ve been purple, jet black, white blonde, so yeah… I’ve got different foundations in all my makeup kits depending where I’m going to go [with my hair].”

    Katie also took to Instagram to show off her new hair, writing: “New hair, who dis? Ready for today’s @loosewomen”. Katie’s 1.1m followers were quick to go wild over the look. One person said: “Wow great look loving the brunette!”, a different account put: “HOW!! HOW IS IT POSSIBLE FOR YOU TO LOOK THIS INSANE BOTH BLONDE AND BRUNETTE!!!” with heart eyes, while another fan wrote: “Beautiful!” Someone else raved: “This is stunning, perfect colour on you!!!!”

    It comes as Katie returned to Loose Women in December for the first time since undergoing surgery. The presenter suffered life-changing burns, injuries and blindness in one eye after being attacked with acid in 2008 when she was 24. Katie underwent pioneering surgery to restore her face and vision, but has faced many complications since.

    Only recently, Katie underwent tarsorrhaphy surgery in November to her left eye, which joins parts or all of the upper and lower eyelids to completely close the eye. Katie said at the time of the procedure, which is used to help or heal the cornea: “In my case I am trying to preserve the eye, avoid perforation and loosing my eye completely.”

    Katie added at the time: “Also, if this helps anyone else…. yes I do sometimes find it hard. I’m ok with looking different to everyone else but operations can sometimes take me back to memories of how this all started and that’s hard mentally.”

    Appearing on Loose Women for the first time since the procedure, host Kaye Adams said: “Hello stranger! First of all, Katie, we haven’t seen you for what, five or six weeks?” Katie then explained why she had been absent, discussing her recent procedure. She said: “I had a planned procedure done called tarsorrhaphy, which is a semi-permanent closure of the eye. It’s an operation done in theatre and your eye is fully or partially stitched up.

    “Some people might be familiar with it, you normally see it when somebody has disease of the cornea. Closing the eye gives it the optimum environment to heal so I’ve had quite a lot of problems with my eye over the last year and a half. I don’t like to go on about it because there’s always somebody worse off!”

    Katie added: “It’s been quite painful so it’s quite a relief for me to finally have it stitched up because it’s a lot more comfortable! It’s not permanent, it’s going to be for just about a year like this then hopefully I can have it opened!”

    Inside Harry’s secret ‘plot’ to be welcomed back to UK circles with ‘texts to Eton pals’

    The Duke is reportedly ‘turning away’ from US publicists – and is instead seeking counsel from his old friends and associates on how to make a comeback to the UK

    Prince Harry is reportedly planning a comeback to the UK after seeking advice from former trusted aides, it has been claimed.

    The Duke of Sussex is believed to have sent Whatsapp messages to a number of pals in the UK who are ready and willing to help him make a return from exile in the United States. According to The Mail on Sunday, the prince has been consulting people “from his old life” as a working royal after reportedly becoming dissatisfied with advice recieved from US-based PR experts.

    It comes after he and wife Meghan Markle parted ways with yet another American PR adviser only weeks after their chief of staff quit three months into his role.

    Harry ditched royal life after stepping down with his Meghan in 2020 and moving to the US – but recent reports suggest things may be changing.

    Secret messages to Eton chums

    The Duke has already been Whatsapping a number of UK chums who are on hand to help him establish a smooth path back to Britain, it has been claimed – with a few of them dubbing their task ‘Operation Bring Harry In From The Cold’.

    A source has shared how the prince is “seeking counsel from his old friends and associates”, according to MailOnline. They added: “He is clearly reaching out thinking, ‘I need to do something different because what I’m doing is clearly not working.’ In short, he is rethinking the way he operates.”

    Harry is believed to have already approached a trusted figure “from the old school” known for their loyalty and discretion. One friend has reportedly drawn up a plan for how Harry can re-enter UK circles again – and possibly carry out “very low-key royal duties”. The source added the pal “believes if Harry comes back to the UK with zero fuss, and does zero publicity and attends very mundane events, he could prove himself and win over the British public again.”

    Harry is ‘unhappy’ in LA

    It was suggested that Prince Harry has been unhappy in LA after he returned to America following a trip to Nigeria with Meghan Markle in May.

    The Duke and Duchess of Sussex were spotted at the airport in Los Angeles following a mammoth 18-hour flight, with Harry looking downcast walking behind Meghan. Royal expert Tom Quinn said Harry seemed upset and suggested it could have been linked to his brief UK visit in May, where he had hoped to visit his father King Charles, but the monarch was reportedly too busy.

    Speaking exclusively to The Mirror, Tom said: “Harry tried desperately to put a brave face on it during his recent visit to the UK, but his real feelings were apparent when he landed back in Los Angeles. It was impossible not to see how downcast and upset he looked.

    “And it’s no surprise because he had hoped to see his father, and for a good deal longer than their 30-minute meeting last time he was in the UK.”

    Turning away from ‘all sorts of Hollywood publicists’

    A source says the Duke is reportedly “turning away from all sorts of Hollywood publicists” and is instead “seeking counsel from his old friends and associates”. It comes as Harry and Meghan have parted ways with yet another American PR adviser – only weeks after their chief of staff quit three months into his role.

    Christine Weil Schirmer, who had previously worked for Apple and Pinterest, was already head of communications at the Sussexes’ charity Archewell, but began overseeing the couple’s publicity in 2020. It has now emerged that Schirmer left the role ‘quietly late last year’.

    It makes her the tenth staff member to have left the pair in the last three years. Several have now left the pair since they first moved to California, including their chief of staff Josh Kettler, who shockingly quit his role three months in. A former employee said: “What may be most telling is that the entire time I worked there, I don’t think I heard a single current or former employee on their staff say they would take the job again if given the chance.

    “These aren’t employees they had just found off the streets. Many of them are people who had previously excelled working for demanding bosses in high-performance companies and environments.”

  • Woman has feet read by TV celebrity – and says results were life-changing

    Woman has feet read by TV celebrity – and says results were life-changing

    Jane began foot reading in 1999 and started teaching the techniques in 2003. In 2010 she was awarded honorary membership of the Association of Reflexologists for her outstanding services to reflexology

    I had my feet read and it made me reflect on my life.

    It occurred to me about halfway into my trip to Ormskirk that I might, in fact, have to show my feet to a stranger. Before anybody gets any ideas, I was making the journey to meet TV’s celebrity foot reader Jane Sheehan.

    If you’re a fan of Loose Women, you may remember when Jane read the feet of the presenters, including Stacey Solomon and Kaye Adams. But that doesn’t even begin to scratch the surface of Jane’s career.

    Jane has also featured on BBC’s Strictly Come Dancing spin-off show It Takes Two. Her book, Let’s Read Our Feet, is a number one best seller on Amazon.

    Jane began foot reading in 1999 and started teaching the techniques in 2003. In 2010 she was awarded honorary membership of the Association of Reflexologists for her outstanding services to reflexology.

    As the UK’s leading foot reader, or, as Jane put it, with a chuckle, “one of the top five in the world, I just don’t know what out of five,” she has been teaching her skills to reflexologists and other therapists for more than 20 years.

    For those of you that don’t know, foot reading is a skill adopted by holistic therapists which they say helps them work with clients at a new level of understanding. Foot reading is said to reveal personality strengths and weaknesses, and highlights hidden potential and undervalued talents.

    Upon arriving at the foot clinic, I was eager to know more about how feet are read. Luckily, Jane was really friendly and happy to explain more. She made it clear that language is key in foot reading – so you communicate properly with the person whose feet you’re reading.

    Jane's foot reading clinic is behind her house in Ormskirk

    She said: “If I look at your feet and say you’re rebellious, you may think one thing, but somebody else may think of something entirely different.” Each part of your foot says something different – for instance, the size of your right big toe might tell about your people skills. Even shoe choice can hint at whether you’re shy or outgoing.

    At first, I thought I’d just show Jane photos of my feet. But after Jane explained foot reading details, plus a good old chin wag and being offered a cuppa, I decided to get the full experience. It wasn’t surprising when Jane noticed that I’m sensitive and insecure, as well as finding handling many tasks simultaneously quite hard.

    You might remember me mentioning before, I got diagnosed with ADHD in 2023. Many insights Jane came up with linked back to this, I mused, and she could see from my expression she was spot on.

    Getting your feet looked at by someone might seem a bit odd, but Jane made me feel so comfortable. She told me that I am a person who loves deeply, but worries too much.

    Jane also had tarot cards to show me

    No credit)Sometimes people don’t always agree with what Jane sees from studying their feet. That’s why she mostly goes with her feelings rather than getting very specific. She can read aspects of your personality and behaviour, but not predict the future.

    Having my feet read was an amazing experience. After Jane finished studying my feet, she also did a little bit of tarot card reading for me. A beautiful card with a fairy told me to “be honest with myself.”

    I really felt differently after having my foot reading. Jane was very nice and professional, and some of the things she said really struck a chord with me. It surprised me how much a foot reading could make me think about my life. I highly recommend giving it a go.

    If you want to try this mind-blowing foot reading for yourself, you can join Jane’s workshop in Liverpool from February 3 to February 4. You can buy tickets on www.footreading.com.

    Late Queen’s ‘deliberate’ act at huge moment revealed true feelings for Meghan and Harry

    A royal expert has claimed that the late Queen Elizabeth decided to make a very ‘deliberate act’ at a pivotal moment that indicated some of her feelings about the Duke and Duchess of Sussex

    Despite any difficulties in their relationship with King Charles or Prince William, both Meghan and Prince Harry have always spoken about the late Queen Elizabeth in the highest, most affectionate terms.

    For her part, the former monarch regularly reiterated their status as beloved family members, even through difficult negotiations over the terms of the couple’s royal exit, and any allegations they made about the royal household after they had moved to California. However, despite the clear affection all parties shared in their private relationships, one royal expert has pointed out that when the late Queen came to a pivotal moment, her “deliberate act” may have shown some of her feelings toward the Duke and Duchess of Sussex as members of the institution of the monarchy.

    The expert, Robert Lacey – a royal author and historian – made the claim in the Daily Mail, and the particular act that he believed to be so significant on the part of the late Queen occurred during her annual Christmas message to the nation. Usually, eagle-eyed royal fans are quick to spot the framed photographs visible on the monarch’s desk during the festive speech, and in 2019 the Sussexes were nowhere to be seen in the photos present.

    “The absence of a single Sussex from the 2019 assemblage of significant royal faces in the Queen’s Christmas broadcast appeared to reflect a deliberate decision on her part. She would be providing no brand endorsement opportunities this year for Sussex Royal,” the expert wrote. Lacey added: “It was unheard of for the royal Christmas desk not to feature a cosy image of the latest royal grandchild or great-grandchild. But in 2019 there was no sight of Harry and Meghan’s six-month-old son, Archie.

    “A brief video clip flashed on screen during the broadcast showing the Queen and Meghan’s mother Doria cluck-clucking over the little boy, but there was no name-check. The Queen simply acknowledged the arrival of her great-grandchild in passing, without mentioning his name or his parents: ‘Prince Philip and I have been delighted to welcome our eighth great-grandchild into our family.’ This was the Queen’s only reference to the new arrival and his parents in her 2019 address to the world — an anonymous ‘eighth great-grandchild’.” Instead, on the desk were photographs of the late Queen’s father, King George VI, Charles and Camilla, and Prince William, Kate and their three children: George, Charlotte, and Louis.

    Coleen Nolan compares Loose Women to Match of the Day as she spills on feud rumours

     

    Coleen Nolan says her previous Loose Women exit was down to ‘certain people behind the scenes that weren’t being nice’ as she addressed panel bad blood claims

    Coleen Nolan compared the Loose Women studio to Match of the Day but says life would be dull if there wasn’t disagreements.

    The ITV daytime show has forever been dogged by rumours of feuds and fallings out but one of the mainstays insists there is no bad blood at all and they’re all just committed to making great TV. Coleen says just because the woman don’t all go for evenings on the town together, it doesn’t mean they don’t get on.

    She says the team all “get on” and agrees with her co-star Kaye Adams, who said last year that she gets fed up that Loose Women regulars after often asked whether there are rows between them, and said it is a always barrel of laughs behind the scenes. Coleen says people must not mistake intense debate for annoyance.

    Coleen
    Coleen has been regular face on the show’s panel for almost 25 years

    “We have to have little disagreements because otherwise it would be a boring show,” she told OK! Magazine. “If there’s a topic we all agree on, it’s boring, so we don’t do it. When there’s a little bit of something between Janet and me, or anyone else, every time we go to break we say ‘that’ll be on the front covers this week!’.”

    Coleen insisted there is no problem at all between the panel, and said she didn’t enjoy seeing women pitted against other women. “I sometimes get upset because I don’t the like them saying, ‘You can’t believe what you see on the television’, or get us to hate each other,” she said. “It never happens with shows featuring men.

    “You don’t see a story about Match of the Day saying ‘Gary Lineker’s at war with this person or that person’ do you? Hand on heart, we all get on. But I live in Cheshire so it’s not like I just pop out for a drink with them. So no, we’re not always out on the town together, but God help everyone when we are because when we do go out, it’s wild!”

    She opened up about her short-lifted departure – and says it was people off camera that caused her to make the decision, and not any of her co-stars. In 2011, Coleen announced that she was departing the show so she could concentrate on other TV programmes but it wasn’t long before she was back.

    She continued: “I went through a period where I left for a while because I’d fallen out of love with it a bit and I needed to take a break. “It was because certain people behind the scenes weren’t being nice and I wasn’t enjoying it. Then those people went onto other things and great people came in, and I’ve loved it ever since.”

    Kaye said last year on all those fall out claims: “I do get fed up that almost always we will be asked whether we bitch about each other. I’m just waiting for Alan Shearer and Gary Lineker to be asked the same question because they just never are. When we are asked about feuds, we think it is funny. It is certainly not a viper’s nest.

    “The one thing that I can guarantee when I go to the Loose Women, regardless of the line-up of women, regardless of the topics, at some point in that day, I will have a real belly laugh. And I don’t know how many other people can say that about their working life. I’m really delighted to say, hand on heart at some point in the day, we will be creasing ourselves, which is a lovely thing.”

     

  • ITV Loose Women star’s ‘terror’ over health emergency live on air which led to A&E dash

    ITV Loose Women star’s ‘terror’ over health emergency live on air which led to A&E dash

    Loose Women star Kaye Adams has shared the terrifying moment she had a sudden health emergency just before she went live on air as she ended up in A&E

    Loose Women’s Kaye Adams has revealed how she was rushed to A&E after an emergency on the show.

    The TV presenter, 61, has recalled the terrifying moment as she appeared on the ITV panel show a week on from the incident. She was joined alongside Kelly Holmes, Judi Love and Nadia Sawalha to discuss the day’s topics. During the programme on Friday. Earlier this week Kaye revealed she suddenly lost all hearing in her right ear ‘minutes’ before she went live on on air.

    During today’s show, Kaye opened up on the scary moment as she told viewers: “We showed you a clip of what happened to me last Friday just before we went on air. I just completely lost my hearing in my right ear.” A clip was then shown of Kaye struggling to hear the producers in her ear piece last week, where she said she could “hear nothing”.

    After the clip had finished, she told the panel: “That’s what you call a brave face because behind that I was seriously panicking. I wear hearing aids which is fine and I manage quiet well. I have got this television ear piece and then I can hear you lot with hearing aids.” She joked: “I sometimes switch [them] off.” Kaye added: ” So to completely go deaf in this ear was terrifying.”

    Kaye had taken to her social media earlier in the week where she informed her followers about the incident. She wrote: “I was absolutely terrified, I thought, ‘Oh my god, what has gone wrong? On Friday when I was doing Loose Women, minutes before we went in air, my right ear just went dead. I put my earpiece in, there was no sound I couldn’t hear a thing.”

    She decided to push through the show, and didn’t mention her health scare to viewers. However, she became increasingly worried when she got home to Glasgow and her hearing still had not returned. The Loose Women star explained that as she became more concerned, she started to google her symptoms after losing all hearing in one ear so suddenly.

    Kaye went to sleep but woke up the next morning and went straight to the hospital where she was looked after by the ‘dedicated’ nurses. S he was then sent for an audiogram at a nearby Boots hearing centre but was left utterly mortified when she discovered the reason behind her sudden hearing loss.

    The TV star revealed that the audiologist pulled out a huge lump of wax, which was affecting her hearing. “I mean I am embarrassed to say this because, honestly, my head was going to some terrible terrible tumour, I am very melodramatic,” Kaye told her followers. “Paula pulled out the biggest bit of wax you have ever seen.”

    Princess Diana ‘s former Royal bodyguard has claimed she would have “accepted” Charles and Camilla’s relationship if she were still alive.

    Ken Wharfe, who protected the mother-of-two for years while serving as a Scotland Yard officer, has opened up about his views on how Diana would have felt about her ex-husband marrying the now Queen Consort Camilla Parker Bowles.

    His comments come as throngs of Royal enthusiasts gathered at Diana’s previous home, Kensington Palace in London, to commemorate the 27th anniversary of her death by laying flowers.

    Speaking in an interview, Ken remarked: “Part of Diana’s problem was that she naively believed that the relationship with Camilla would fade away.” He continued, recalling his time with Diana from the mid-1980s: “But let’s be honest, Camilla was there from day one. Camilla from my time, I went there in the mid-1980s, was very much the discussion at the time.”

    “And (with) Diana’s openness she felt it necessary to give me the complete low down of the relationship. I questioned that at the time, but actually having listened to her, it made me understand Diana a lot better. And she naively believed that it would end. There is no doubt in my mind that Diana did love Charles. I mean, she said that to me repeatedly.”

    Diana tragically died at the age of 36 in a car accident in Paris on 31 August, 1997 five years after separating from then-Prince Charles, with their divorce finalised in 1996. Camilla and Charles went public with their relationship two years following the tragic car crash that claimed Diana’s life.

    Mum-of-two Diana famously spoke of their tumultuous relationship during her TV tell-all with Martin Bashir, stating: “There were three of us in this marriage, so it was a bit crowded.” Ken has voiced his opinion that Diana and Charles would not have resumed their romance even if she had lived. On potential reconciliation, he opined: “From my own experience in life, you move on and you change, you mellow slightly, and you deal with situations in a much calmer way.”

    He continued to reflect: “And I’m sure Diana would have done that. She was very good at that.” Reflecting on the passage of time and its healing effects, he said: “Time, as everyone says, is a great healer. Diana was angry with the Prince of Wales, angry with her circumstances, angry with Camilla, angry with everybody.”

    Nonetheless, Ken believes in change over time. He added to The Sun: “But you know you know, things heal. And as time progressed, she would have been in her 60s now, she would have accepted.”
