Ruth, 64, stepped away from her role as anchor on ITV’s Loose Women – and hasn’t been seen on the show since April.

But now she’s ready to return – but has made it clear she will not be discussing her separation on the programme.

Ruth is due back on our screens tomorrow.

A friend of Ruth told The Mirror: “It has been a tough few weeks but now she feels it is time for her to get back to Loose Women.

“It is a job she loves doing and even though the split has been very tough, life must go on.

“Just don’t expect any big news or revelations about the divorce, she wants to keep that private.”

Ruth will be joined on the panel by Coleen Nolan, Brenda Edwards and Janet Street-Porter.

Earlier this month Ruth treated herself to a trip down to the salon.

The TV star headed to the salon amid reports that the GB News anchor is growing close to a mystery woman.

Keen for a fresh start and look, Ruth had some hair extensions put in and showed the look off on Instagram.

Days before Ruth was seen for the first time since Eamonn was spotted with close friend Katie Alexander.

She went make-up free as she took her dog Maggie for a walk after a difficult few days for the pup, who had to undergo surgery.

The Sun previously told how Eamonn has grown close to relationship counsellor Katie in the wake of his split.

The pair have grown close since they met on X/Twitter in 2015.
