RUTH Langsford has admitted that she’s a ‘bit manic’ in a new behind the scenes video.

Ruth, 64, got ready for her second consecutive day of broadcasting at QVC as she prepared to go on air and sell her range on TSV coats.

She signed off the night with a glam boomerang video on her Instagram story from one of the elevators.
This was after presenting the midnight show on the station until the early hours of the morning.
Just a few hours later, Ruth posted an another video in the same outfit as she went makeup free after just a short nap.
In the short clip, she could not hold her excitement as she admitted: “Morning! So here I am back at QVC.
“The same morning through, [feeling] great, four hours of sleep, but anyway, it’s fine.
“I didn’t sleep see, here I am back for four hours. I’m on at 11am o’clock with Pippa, better go get on with it!”
Before she took to the airwaves, the former This Morning presenter gave her loyal fans a behind-the-scenes sneak peek at her prep process
She made her way into the green room of the West London HQ before treating herself to a breakfast M&S smoothie and a banana.
The presenter then appeared in the makeup chair as she was surrounded by her glam squad.
She gazed at her reflection and spoke directly to her assistant, Maurice, who held the phone and captured the candid moment.
Ruth explained: “So this is where the magic happens.
“I’ve come in as you saw, looking horrific this morning, [after] three and a half hours sleep.
“These are the miracle workers that transform me to a human being again.”
