Earlier this month, the Loose Women panellist was questioned about her locks after sharing a video of herself walking her beloved dog Maggie.
In view of her 847,000 followers, she captioned the video: “Bit nippy out there today! Enjoy your daily exercise whatever it might be. X x.”
One user commented in response: “Someone’s had some highlights.”
A second wrote: “Have you lightened your hair Ruth? Looks great!”
Dismissing the queries, Ruth defiantly responded: “Absolutely have NOT had highlights or anything else done to my hair….I literally washed it!!!!”
