Oh what a shame. I loved Gladys Pugh. So funny. We took DD to see Ruth in panto once. I think she played Robin Hood. She used her own voice and the children were shouting 'Hi De Hi'. RIP Ruth.

Such sad news

Very sad. More so for me as I’ve met her several times as there is an extended family connection. She was lovely in real life too.

She’d suffered a fall apparently & posted ‘don’t worry about me I’ll be back soon’.
RIP dear lady. You brought sunshine to many.

She was due to be in panto at Torquay when she had the fall. She die in hospital possibly during the operation. A sad loss

She suffered a fall but didn’t die from that according to the news she died while having surgery for the fall
