Ruth Langsford opens up on difficult conversation with son Jack after she 'lost her rag'

Ruth Langsford opened up on having a "difficult conversation" with her son Jack.

The 58-year-old television favourite had been chatting to her co-stars including , GK Barry and about the burden on women throughout life that included taking contraception, periods, having babies and then the menopause.

Former HearSay star Mylene said men needed to step-up when it came to supporting women with contraception as she admitted her partner had had a vasectomy. Other panel members had noticed that Generation Z had been doing a much better job at raising their sons to be more knowledgeable.

Coleen even noted that her daughter Ciara Fensome had sent her boyfriend to the shop to purchase sanitary products, leaving the TV star dumbfounded - as she would have never been able to ask a former flame herself.

Speaking about how times had changed and educating her own son on the menopause, Ruth shared: "I always say as a mother of a son it is our responsibility to talk to young men about contraception, about women's health about periods and about the menopause."

She explained: "I had to have a chat with Jack about the menopause because I lost my rag one day with him, it was off the scale. I had to then explain to him 'let me tell you about something called the menopause, it's why mummy's a bit cross today'."
