Ruth Langsford has been seen declaring her love for one of her closest TV star pals after they were recently seen letting their hair down together.
The Loose Women star, who is navigating a new single life following her split from ex-husband Eamonn Holmes earlier this year, took to social media on Friday (October 25) to share her public message for her friend and former co-star Rylan Clark.
Ruth, who refers to Rylan as her 'TV son' after their work on This Morning together, was sending him birthday wishes as he turned 36. Sharing a picture of them both on the show's famous sofa, she said: "Happy birthday to my darling boy!"

She edited the photo so he was wearing a 'birthday boy' blue crown before she simply added: "Love you @rylan," and shared the post on her Instagram Story.
It was just last weekend that Ruth admitted to struggling after being seen enjoying a romantic duet alongside Rylan. Media and TV personality Lizzie Cundie was also involved in the fun and Rylan's cousin Kimberley Morgan. And it was Lizzie who captured the moment that Ruth got on the mic with Rylan at his Essex pad.
They could be seen - and heard - showing off their vocal skills - during a performance of Diana Ross and Lionel Richie's iconic track, Endless Love.
Sharing a video of them performing song with her followers, Lizzie wrote on Instagram: "What a duet," alongside a string of red heart emojis and tagged the pair. Ruth then reshared the post and said: "Thank goodness ONE of us can sing!!"
The partying group also all posed up for a group picture which Lizzie also shared on her Instagram grid cherishing her beloved pals. She wrote: "Can't beat fabulous friends @rylan @ruthlangsford @kimberley_morgan777 #love #fun #birthday."
Then, the morning after the night before, Ruth took to social media and admitted she was in need of some fresh air as she took her beloved pet pooch Maggie, who she rescued with her ex-husband Eamonn Holmes. Alongside a video of her pet pooch walking the streets, the broadcaster said: "@rylan I'm very much needing this fresh air after last night!" before later admitting her blender was too loud for her delicate head.
