Her “theatrical” business Hey Ho Ltd boasts has resources of £2.3m – including £1.1m in cash.

Ruth also presents Lose A Stone In 4 Weeks For Summer and pens newspaper and magazine columns as well as having regular spots on Loose Women and shopping channel QVC – along with popular Tik Tok and Instagram pages.

At the end of the segment, viewers at home noticed that Phillip seemed to forget his manners.
The 59-year-old presenter didn’t say thank you to Ruth after she finished addressing the audience and fans took to Twitter to express their thoughts.
One user commented on the interaction: “Not even a ‘Thank you, Ruth,’ from our Phil. Fancy working in that atmosphere.”

Eamonn has slated Phillip’s behaviour and called him “passive aggressive,” while also taking a stand against ITV for removing him and Ruth from This Morning, which the pair had presented together for 15 years.
