Christine Lampard was reunited with her former co-star Adrian Chiles on Wednesday’s Loose Women as the pair appeared on the ITV daytime show together after 17 years
Presenter Adrian Chiles joined Loose Women panellist Christine Lampard on Wednesday 9 October, reuniting 17 years after they co-hosted The One Show on BBC One.
Adrian was there to discuss his new book, The Curious Columns of Adrian Chiles, a compilation of his past columns. He told the Loose Women panel that he had over 500 columns to sift through, describing the process of “putting the book together involves re-reading every single column,” as “hard-going.”
He labelled the book as “reasonably entertaining,” and disclosed that the most contentious column when first published in The Guardian was about loading a dishwasher, which only saw the light of day after persistent nagging. The 57 year old also shared the charming story of how he met his wife, Katherine Viner.
She was his editor and was particularly amused by a humorous column he wrote about his difficulty bending over, leading her to request a meeting. As Adrian revealed on the show: “We ended up getting married.” He quipped: “If I hadn’t had trouble bending over, I would never have got married! “, reports OK!.

The One Show’s veteran Adrian and his co-host Christine, known for sharing top-notch chemistry on-screen, once again proved their inseparable bond when they teamed up for the documentary series ‘Christine and Adrian’s Friendship Test’ in 2017. Their brilliant partnership stretched from The One Show stints between 2007 and 2010 to ITV’s breakfast show Daybreak until 2011.
In a heartfelt column earlier this year, Adrian opened up about the loss of his father, confessing he was “shocked” at the passing of his dad in March. He wrote: “All my life I’d worried about my dad dying. I couldn’t, and can’t, get my head around much at all. About the only thing I am sure of is that 50 years of worrying about it was properly pointless.”
His father endured a fall in January which resulted in a fractured shoulder, leading to his discharge from A&E, only for him to be admitted to a “rural community hospital” shortly after. Tragically, his father passed away six weeks later on 9 March.
Digging deep into emotional territory, Adrian reflected on his father being “stuck” between an unwanted life and a feared death. Moreover, he poignantly described how he came to understand that people are divided into two distinct groups: those familiar with the dying process and those oblivious to it.
