Ruth Langsford has shared her joy at receiving her first coronavirus vaccine.
The This Morning and Loose Women presenter shared a picture on Instagram of her getting her first jab on Saturday (February 13).
Ruth, 60, said she felt "grateful" for being offered the vaccine after fearing the message was a hoax.
But added she hopes it's a "step closer" to seeing her mum, who lives in a care home, again.
She wrote on Instagram: "JUST HAD MY VACCINE!! Feel SO grateful. Thought it was a scam message at first as I wasn't expecting to be called until March!
"Thank you everybody, staff & volunteers, at the vaccination centre in Walton-on-Thames, Surrey...a quick, well organised and very friendly experience. The jab took seconds and was painless.
"Thank you @stephanieshervington for being so lovely....you & your colleagues are doing an amazing job. Another step forward to being able to see my Mum again I hope."
She shared the post with a snap of her being given the jab in a black T-shirt emblazoned with the word 'Love' in a gold heart.
Ruth is set to return to This Morning on Monday alongside husband Eamonn Holmes.
