So where is Ruth and why isn't she on This Morning?

However, Rochelle then interrupted him, jokingly adding: "Every time you say the same thing and I tell you not to do that!"

He went on to explain: "Ruthie's got other things to do today but she can't be here today but Rochelle and I are pairing up!"
