The This Morning favourite, 57, regularly keeps her fans updated with sneak peeks at her Strictly Come Dancing journey, and last night she took to Instagram to share a clip of herself after the show with her 381,000 followers.
Ruth Langsford, who looked sensational in a long, blonde wig for her Bond Girl-inspired Rumba could be seen bidding farewell to her ultra-glamorous extensions.
"Do I have to give it back?" she joked, whimpering: "Ohh… Bye lovely hair…"
She then pretended to sob as the hair and make-up team carried away her beloved wig.

After failing to impress the judges with her sensuous routine earlier in the night, Ruth jokingly refused to come out from behind the glittering studio door to give an interview alongside her professional partner Anton du Beke, 51.
In a video which Anton shared with his 40,000 Instagram followers, the curvaceous star could be seen peering around the corner as she insisted: "I don't want to come out. I'm not coming out."
However, she quickly got over her fear, joining her partner as he put a comforting arm around her.
