RUTH Langsford helped herself to a £585,000 pay day last year, new figures have revealed
The telly star runs a firm called Hey Ho Limited to take in cash from her TV work and endorsements from firms like Tesco.
Accounts for the 12 months to the end of May 2025 show Ruth, 65, paid herself a dividend of £585,000. In 2024, she took £770,000.
The figures show the firm retained £741,000 in cash.
The Sun has contacted Ruth’s representative for comment.
And she’s on course for another big payout because her new book is already a best-seller just hours after it was published.
The memoir – called Feeling Fabulous – shot to number 11 in the Amazon book charts and was number 1 in the Beauty and Fashion category.
Publishers said of the £11 work: “Up and down the country, people love Ruth Langsford’s zest for life and ability to find the humour in any situation. Every day through her work at Loose Women, she meets people who have been through the most astonishing highs and lows. Her warm and open interviewing style has made her one of the UK’s favourite broadcasters.
“Now, in her first-ever book, she’s opening up about her own ups and downs like never before.
“From her rebellious school days to starting out in telly, Strictly Come Dancing and her close bond with her family, she’s sharing the experiences that have shaped her and the lessons that she’s learned along the way.
“Throughout everything, Ruth has retained her trademark humour and sense of fun, and now she wants to share how she’s found her way back to feeling fabulous, no matter what.”
The popular presenter split from husband Eamonn Holmes in May 2024.
She said the breakup was “devastating”, admitting it felt “impossible to survive” in the initial period.
In her book, she revealed she would often cry in the shower before work following the separation.
She expressed a “deep loss” and found it “incredibly hard to come to terms with” the end of their 26-year relationship, having expected to be with Holmes “forever”.
Ruth stated she has accepted the end of her marriage, despite not being happy about it, finding that fighting against the inevitable was “exhausting and pointless”.
The Loose Women presenter, who is not ready for a new relationship, also acknowledged that the public nature of their divorce was the “hardest” aspect.
