Ruth Langsford accused of snubbing Holly Willoughby in 'awkward' live TV link

ok.co.uk:

ITV viewers have accused Loose Women panellist Ruth Langsford of snubbing This Morning presenter Holly Willoughby.The awkward moment occurred during a live link between the two shows as Ruth shared what was coming up on today's Loose Women.

During the call, Ruth noted that both she and Josie Gibson, who has been presenting alongside Holly this week amid the latter's return, were both wearing green, as she joked: "We've got the green memo today Josie.

You look great!" However, viewers at home were quick to note that Holly, who was also wearing green, did not get mentioned, nor did Ruth appear to address her directly.

Those who noticed the "snub" were quick to take to social media, with one tweeting: "Ruth not speaking to holly #thismorning" While another shared a GIF of singer Mariah Carey saying "I don't know her", which they captioned: "Ruth was like this to Holly [laughing emoji] #ThisMorning." Speaking to the Mirror about the awkward snub, body language expert Judi James said: "The signs of tension had barely eased today but, as Holly sat primly, her hands touching and static on the table in front, Ruth brought Coleen into frame to allow her to have some relaxing banter in her own studio. "When Ruth said ‘Hi Holly Hi Josie’ and their fixed smiles looked identical, her eyes flicked from side to side in a micro cut off ritual as though avoiding using eye contact." Holly, 42, had been absent from This Morning since her former co-worker Phillip Schofield, 61, stepped down after 21 years with immediate effect last month.
