Ruth Langsford has issued an update on her mother's health following a 'horrible chest infection'. The TV star said that while Joan, 94, isn't quite well enough to 'come out yet', it's hoped she will return to her usual self very soon.

 

"Thank you for all your kind wishes for my Mum," the Loose Women panellist wrote on Instagram yesterday. "... she's doing a lot better after that horrible chest infection.

"...Not quite well enough to come out yet, but I hope she'll be back dancing in my kitchen very soon. In the meantime she's enjoying lots of cuddles with Nurse Maggie!"

 

Joan hasn't been too fortunate with her health in recent months, having also fractured her pelvis in December, no more than a year after breaking her hip. Although the family were relieved Joan wouldn't require surgery, she did need to spend some time in the hospital to recover.
