Ruth said how Joan, 94, was forced to attend hospital after a nasty chest infection ‘got the better of her’.
Sharing a snap from hospital, she said: “Another hospital visit for Mum last night….chest infection got the better of her.
“They sent her home after a few hours of care though…..thank you to all the staff at St. Peter’s Hospital, Surrey for looking after us so well.”
Last December Ruth told fans how her Christmas plans with her mum were thrown into chaos after Joan fractured her pelvis.
Her mum’s injury prompted Ruth’s ex Eamonn to publicly get in touch.
A post about Joan’s health was commented on by hoards of celebrity friends and fans – but was also ‘liked’ by ex-husband Eamonn.
Ruth has previously opened up about Joan’s health battle as she receives care in a home while living with Dementia.
She is incredibly close to her mum and previously broke down in tears over not being able to visit during the peak of coronavirus lockdown rules.
Joan regularly features in Ruth’s social media updates as she visits her on the weekends, where they prepare dinner together.
Meanwhile, a source close to Ruth and Eamonn’s divorce previously told Sun Club how the pair will avoid a Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie-style showdown.
Ruth previously celebrated her 65th birthday with a lavish getaway at a £1,000 a night hotel.
She soaked up the sun in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines with her closet pals, considered to be her inner circle.
