Ruth Langsford and Eamonn Homes
Ruth Langsford will join Loose Women as an anchor in the New Year.
The 53-year-old presenter is "thrilled" about landing a permanent role as a regular anchor alongside fellow presenters Kaye Adams, Carol Vorderman and Andrea McLean when the ITV daytime talk show returns in January 2014.
Ruth will appear throughout the entire series following her debut on January 8, and will also continue to co-present ITV's 'This Morning' alongside husband Eamonn Holmes on every Friday and during the school holidays.
She said: "'Loose Women' has always been close to my heart. I have a long history with the show having done the very first series back in 1999. I am thrilled to be back with the girls on a more regular basis, here's to being Loose in 2014!"
Myleene Klass will also be the first in a string of guest panellists to appear alongside the regular cast of women on January 9.
Myleene gushed: "I'm really excited to be part of a team of strong, feisty, fearless women. I look forward to joining a conversation that usually happens in my kitchen!"
The announcement comes after former pop star, Jamelia made her debut as a panellist in November.
