Let's make this birthday one to remember.

82 years old (Born on April 16, 1943)

Happy Birthday to the fabulous Ruth Madoc! From your unforgettable portrayal of Gladys Pugh in "Hi-de-Hi!"—complete with that iconic Welsh charm and mischievous smile—you've given us countless laughs, memorable catchphrases, and a timeless character we still adore today. Your BAFTA nomination was richly deserved; after all, who else could make holiday camp announcements so delightfully entertaining?

Whether charming campers or dazzling audiences on stage and screen over the years, you've consistently brought warmth and humor into our lives. Here's wishing you another year filled with laughter as bright as Gladys's jackets—and applause louder than Maplins' morning wake-up calls!
