The American-born actress, comedian and TV presenter took to social media to share her morning routine – which includes a freezing cold dip in the sea – with fans.

Sharing a video of the incredible mountain view, Ruby said: “I go swimming here every day and it’s cold.

“You freeze the house, but it supposedly protects against depression. I’m a living example of that.

“I go here, there’s the beach, and then I shower and I always change where everyone can see me because I think you flaunt it if you’ve got it.”

She then gave fans a glimpse of her one-piece swimsuit and said: “This is me in a swimsuit, let me slip it on, there it is…I’ll never show it again.

– That’s it, that’s what I do in the morning.

Her followers were quick to praise the star for her youthful appearance.

One wrote: “Amazing way to start the day looking fit and fabulous Ruby!! Show off Gal.”

Another posted: “You look great Ruby.”

While another added: “Definitely still got it.”

The funnywoman has enjoyed an incredible career as a comedian, actress and writer since moving to the UK and appearing on British TV screens in the mid-80s.

But times haven’t always been easy for the star and she recently revealed that her parents beat her and made her feel suicidal in an emotional interview with Kate Garraway for Life Stories.

She insisted she “would be dead” if she hadn’t fled her late angry parents in Chicago to study in Glasgow when she was a teenager.

In the 90s, she hosted Ruby Wax Meets… – a BBC series in which she interviewed names such as Madonna, Pamela Anderson and Imelda Marcos.

She also guest starred and edited the script for the hugely popular comedy Absolutely Fabulous.
