"Ruth Henshall is joining in a gust appearance, safely, this will though mean an exit for Glenda Shuttleworth. Can I officially say on this sofa can we please have her back." However, Sharon was forced to take to social media to clear things up after being told her exit info was incorrect.
"I am the biggest idiot," she
