Coronavirus: Ruth Langsford kisses her mum through window as elderly isolate amid pandemic

Ruth Langsford has shared the heartbreaking way she had to greet her mum on Mother's Day.

The presenter had no choice but to give her mum a kiss through the window as the elderly have been advised to self-isolate for 12 weeks at home.

Ruth posted the super sweet moment on Instagram to her thousands of followers as she told them she hadn't forgotten about her mother on such a special day.

This Morning star Ruth, 60, said to her mum Joan: "Gis' a kiss... happy Mother's Day."

In a heartbreaking sequence, the This Morning star then tapped her hand on the window to get her mum's attention.

Ruth and Joan touched hands through the glass as they gazed longingly at each other.

Ruth said: "It is odd, isn't it?" as her mum nodded.

The wife of Eamonn Holmes captioned the sweet video: "Locked down but not forgotten! Happy Mother’s Day Mum....love her! ❤"

Social media was sent into overdrive with the sweet scenes.

Among the crowd, one wrote: "So lovely," as another penned: "Bless her and you xxx".

The famous presenter later posted a second video of her mum dancing around the kitchen during happier times.

She wrote: "This is what my Mum would normally be doing in my kitchen on Sunday! Makes me smile SO much...thought I'd share one of her greatest hits! [dancer emoji] Music from @mrantondubeke #mothersday".

TV cook Juliet Sear shared: "She's brilliant your mum!"

And a fan of Joan's added: "I did shed a tear over your last post Ruth. Your Mum certainly does have the most loving daughter and she will feel that from you no matter where you are.

"Your Mum's got a great energy and a great spirit...and great dance moves too. Sending you all the love Ruth! Stay positive and remember the good times."
