The 59-year-old star had been off work and offline since announcing Julia shock passing three weeks ago.
However, Ruth took the time to congratulate Gemma Atkinson and her partner Gorka Marquez after they announced the birth of their daughter at the weekend.
Commenting on Gemma’s Instagram post sharing the exciting news, Ruth wrote: “Congratulations yummy mummy and daddy!
“A beautiful (I’m sure) baby girl… What a precious gift. Sending you all much love.”
The TV favourite added a series of heart emojis to her sweet comment, which was ‘liked’ by dozens of fans who were delighted to have her back.
Ruth was left “distraught” last month after she received the shock news that Julia had died.
Sharing a photo of the two together, she wrote: “My lovely sis Julia has sadly died after a very long illness. My heart is completely broken.
