Ruth Langsford has revealed the brilliant way she reacted, after a male colleague pinched her bum on set when she was younger.
The 60-year-old was discussing her experiences of sexism on the White Wine Question Time podcast, when she opened up about the incident.
Ruth said: “I remember years ago when I had to take these big trays of tea around at certain times in the day for the VT engineers… it was all men.”
“We had a little kitchenette and for some reason it was deemed to be my job as a woman. I remember taking this tray round and a guy pinched my a**.”
“I put the tray down, I slapped his tea down, and said: ‘If you ever touch me again, I’ll break your f***ing arm.'”
During her chat with podcast host Kate Thornton, the This Morning host also said she hates when women are labelled “bossy”.
Ruth said: “You’d never call a man bossy. I mean if you were a guy and the editor of a magazine, they’d go ‘he’s so dynamic and young and amazing.'”
“Why is it like: ‘She’s really bossy and annoying.’ I think women have had to fight that and to some extent, still do. It will keep changing.”
