Ruth Langsford apologises for staring at This Morning guest's breasts: 'It's hard not to'
RUTH LANGSFORD apologised to This Morning guest Chidera Eggerue during an interview about her campaign Saggy Boobs Matter as she admitted she couldn’t stop looking at her breasts.
Ruth Langsford and Eamonn Holmes were chatting to Chidera about her campaign to help women celebrate their bodies and embrace their breasts.
The 23-year-old told the This Morning presenters that she herself considered having breast surgery when she found her body did not look like the women in clothing campaigns.
She told the ITV stars: “I would go to M&S and get my bra fitted, like you do, and I would get a bra in my size but when I tried it one, my boobs didn’t look like the woman on the packaging.
“That was far too early in my life to start disliking myself.”
