Ruth Langsford has set her sights on a new Loose Women panelist.
The TV star, 64, jetted Down Under to support her co-star Jane Moore following her exit from the I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here! jungle. However, she appears to be trying to recruit another member for the Loose Women panel. ITV are reportedly wanting to sign Coleen Rooney to the hit daytime show upon her jungle exit.
The WAG is a fan favourite to be crowned Queen of the Jungle and has spilled on her life with famous husband Wayne and their four sons. Coleen has already appeared on Loose Women as a guest but has never secured a permanent spot. She is said to have turned down the opportunity while her sons Kai, 15, Klay, 11, Kit, eight, and Cass, five, were young.
Ruth confessed she would "love" to have Coleen on the show and branded it "absolutely fantastic". Speaking on spin-off show, I’m A Celebrity… Unpacked she said: "On Loose Women, we share our lives, warts and all. So actually the fact that we don't know Coleen very well, she's very private, maybe now she's felt comfortable enough to open up and she's met Jane, they've become friends, so Coleen please come on."

She threw her support behind Coleen and said she deserves to win the show. Jane admitted that she felt she couldn't get too close to Coleen, 38, given that she was from a journalistic background. However, as the days went on, Jane found herself gravitating towards WAG Coleen more and more.
Jane told her Loose Women co-stars that the mum-of-four is quite reserved and quiet in the jungle. "I now call her Col. We're not Coleen anymore, we're Col. She's brilliant. She's very quiet and quite reserved. I thought in the camp that I would quietly get to know her. I wanted her to come out of her shell a bit, and she did confide in me that she was a bit overwhelmed by all the big personalities in camp - which is understandable. I really think that she's coming into her own now. She is such a grafter and I hope she wins."
Jane became the first celebrity of the series to be eliminated from the show. The TV star described her stint in the jungle as "such a weird and magical experience". Talking about Jane’s performance upon landing in Australia, Ruth told the Mirror: “I thought Jane was extraordinary in her challenge when she swam underwater. That was extremely difficult, I would not have been able to do that. She was very calm, and you noticed that the only person who didn’t scream on the bus was Jane. She is a good woman.”
