This Morning presenter Ruth Langsford left her fans wondering recently, as she took a prolonged break from posting on her social media accounts.
The 58-year-old is usually very active on her Twitter and Instagram pages, posting regular updates on her home life and work life.
Recently, shes been updating fans almost every day, on a brand new fitness challenge shes undertaken with her personal trainer Frank, to complete 15 minutes of exercise a day.
But followers of the star were left uncertain after Ruth had failed to post anything since the 18th April, meaning shed taken over a week off of her social media.
In a video, Ruth explained. She said to her followers, “Hello, long time no speak. Let me explain.
“Last week, Eamonn and I went to Vegas for a week filming for our new Channel 5 series, How the Other Half Live, coming soon.”
She continued, “But the night before we went, I did my back in getting my suitcase out of the loft.
“I dont know what I did, but it was very painful. And a ten-hour flight didnt help! I had to see a chiropractor when we were over in Vegas.”
Sorry for my absence….heres why!! @fitwithfrank #badback #walking #maggie #rescuedog #dogstrust

Ruth Langsford said, “Consequently I havent taken part in my Fit with Frank workouts because I didnt want to make it worse. So I am a week behind you all.”
The presenting star also explained that she had opted for a more gentle exercise that day – walking her beloved dog, Maggie.
She revealed, “Im just walking, gently, trying to hold my core and trying not to hurt my back. But hopefully now, Im on the mend.”
