Earlier this year, Ruth spoke about not being able to see her mum during the COVID-19 pandemic.

She explained that her mum was in a care home and due to Covid restrictions, she wasn’t able to “psychically sit in her room and talk to her, touch her”.

She added: “My mum’s had her first vaccine, could they not treat me as a primary care worker.

“Test me and as long as I don’t have Covid, she’s had the vaccination, I could go in and psychically sit in her room and talk to her, touch her.”
