Ruth Langsford in tears over harrowing Loose Women moment
Ruth Langsford got visibly upset when discussing the emotional Coronation Street storyline as it reminded her of her dog Maggie. The Loose Women panel discussed grieving for a beloved pet, which made Ruth think of 13-year-old Maggie dying one day. Coleen Nolan stepped in to comfort her co-star after she broke down in tears.
After playing a clip from the ITV soap, Ruth said: “I can’t bear it.”
“Oh my god you’re actually going to cry, it’s not even your dog,” Coleen replied.
“I am a massive Corrie fan,” Ruth explained before taking a moment. “Oh god! So I was watching it and actually Maureen Lipman has written today saying that, you know, the makeup people at Corrie asked, ‘Do you need a tear stick to help you cry for the scene?’
“And she was like, ‘Absolutely not’ because sadly she had to have her own dog put down.”
“I can’t see through the tears here,” Ruth admitted as she tried to read out the name of Maureen’s dog.
“Diva…she had to have her put down so she said it brought it all back having to make that awful decision.”
“My little Maggie is about 13,” Ruth began to say before breaking down in tears again.
“Oh god,” she repeated as a photo of Maggie popped up on the screen. “Look at her there, she’s a bit grey.”
Ruth later said: “That’s the biggest thing is that you know that hopefully, in the grand scheme of things that pet is going to go before you and that’s heartbreaking.
“So I think that storyline I’m looking at Maggie, she’s a bit grey and she’s 13 ish…she’s a rescue dog.”
“And looking at that, it is going to happen,” she added.
Coleen chipped in: “I don’t want to be anywhere in the vicinity when that [Maggie dies] happens.”
