Ruth Langsford poses with her beloved mother Joan as she pays another visit to her care home

Ruth Langsford shared her joy at being able to visit her mother Joan in her care home once again on Tuesday .

The Loose Women star, 60, was left in tears of happiness last week after finally reuniting with her beloved parent, 88, after Covid-19 restrictions kept them apart for a year.

And Ruth was once again delighted at getting to see Joan again as she took to Instagram to share a snap of them together, writing: ‘I got to see my Mumma again.’

The Boomerang image sees Joan beaming away at the camera as she sits next to her facemask-clad daughter, who was taking the snap. 

Alongside the post Ruth, who is the ‘nominated family member’ allowed to visit, told how she got to see her mother after a Covid-19 test, while she thanked the care home staff for their help.

She wrote: ‘I got to see my Mumma again….SO happy! Covid test, PPE & only allowed 1hr but it’s worth it just to hold her hand ❤️ Thank you to all the staff for working so hard to make this happen.’

The This Morning favourite also took to her stories to share an image of Joan stroking Ruth’s pet dog Maggie. 

Last week, Ruth finally reunited with her ‘inspirational’ mother after being forced apart for months under Covid restrictions, with the star admitting she had ‘a little cry’ during their meeting. 

The TV presenter travelled to her mum Joan’s care home and shared the sweet moment on her Instagram page. 

The Loose Women star’s emotional reunion comes after broke down in tears last month after revealing she hadn’t physically touched her mother Joan for months due to the pandemic. 

Ruth shared a sweet video of her mum with her dog Maggie, saying she’s the most ‘inspirational woman in my life’.

The touching video saw Joan sitting on a sofa at her care home, while stroking her pet pooch. 

Ruth didn’t appear in the video but she was no doubt behind the camera filming the sweet moment. 

Captioning the moment, Ruth penned: ‘On #InternationalWomensDay I got, at last , to spend an hour of it with the most inspirational woman in my life… my darling Mum. Maggie was SO excited to see her too!’ 

Earlier in the day, Ruth took to her Instagram stories to reveal she was awaiting her covid-19 test results before heading into the care home to visit her mum. 

Alongside a clip of herself and Maggie in her car, she penned: ‘Waiting with Maggie to get the result of a covid test so I can go in and see mum in her room. 

New guidance on care home visits, which came into affect on March 8th, states on the gov.uk website: ‘Every care home resident will be able to nominate a single named visitor who will be able to enter the care home for regular visits. 

‘These visitors should be tested using rapid lateral flow tests before every visit, must wear the appropriate personal protective equipment and follow all other infection control measures (which the care home will guide them on) during visits. 

‘Visitors and residents are advised to keep physical contact to a minimum. Visitors and residents may wish to hold hands, but should bear in mind that any contact increases the risk of transmission.’

On Tuesday’s Loose Women, Ruth spoke further about her visit with her mum, with her revealing that their meeting was ‘very emotional’ and that she had ‘a little cry’.

Speaking further about the visit, she told The Mirror: ‘It was lovely. We both cried, but they were happy tears. It was very emotional.

‘It had been a year since we’d been together, but we fell very quickly and very easily back into that relationship we’d had.’

Joan currently resides in a Surrey residential home, just a stone’s throw away from Ruth and husband Eamonn Holmes’ pad.   

During their first meeting after a year apart, Ruth revealed they quickly fell back into a routine as she made Joan tea, watered her plants and got her advice on a challenging crossword puzzle. 

They also sat down to chat about what’s been on TV while holding onto each other’s hands ‘very tightly’.
