Loose Women’s Jane Moore was accused of cutting off Gino D’Acampo as he tried to make an ‘important announcement’ during today’s edition of the ITV show

Loose Women’s Jane Moore was accused of ‘cutting off’ Gino D’Acampo in a ‘chaotic’ segment today.

The celebrity chef joined the ITV show’s panel of Jane, Linda Robson, Denise Welch and Brenda Edwards today, but there was chaos in the studio as everyone talked over one another during Gino’s segment. He was there to promote his new cookbook, but as he kept trying to plug the book, Jane had to shut him down multiple times.

The hilarious exchange came to a head at the end of the show, when Gino tried to make a special ‘announcement’ but Jane was adamant the show had to end. She cut him off from speaking, with him showing his apparent anger as the show rolled into credits.

As she wrapped up their chat, Jane said: “Lovely to see you and as Gino might have mentioned, his cookbook is out now,” but half way through Gino interrupted to say: “You don’t need to say that really, they’ve got it, Gino’s Italy…”

He then went to try and make an ‘announcement’, adding: “One second, one second I’ve just got to make an announcement!” but Jane cut in and said: “That is it,” before segueing into what fans of the show could expect from tomorrow’s episode.

“But I was just in the middle of the announcement,” Gino pressed as Linda pretended to hold her hand over his mouth. He then managed to add: “So I’m here and you plug someone else’s book,” as Jane waved goodbye to the viewers.

As the camera cut to a longer shot, Linda could be seen laughing with Gino as she put her hand over his mouth.

It is not the first time an appearance on TV has ended quite chaotic when Gino got involved. In one appearance on This Morning earlier this year, viewers were left stunned as the chef – giving out dating advice – suggested a couple have a threesome.

When one woman called in to quiz the chef on ways to spice up a marriage, Gino had everyone in hysterics as he replied: “You want a bit of spice in your life? I’m going to tread very carefully here.

As the hosts Phil and Holly laughed, he added: “Why not? Why not just get someone else involved and see what’s going to happen.”

In their controversial Netflix series, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle talked about the rocky relationships with their royal relatives with Harry claiming he was left furious and his wife cried after a Buckingham Palace statement that drove a wedge between them and Prince William

After their parents’ painful split and the heartbreak of their mother’s tragic untimely death, Princes William and Harry appeared to be the closest of brothers.

But fast forward to today, and the warring siblings are embroiled in a bitter feud as they carve out separate lives on opposite sides of the Atlantic. The breaking point in their bond came after Harry married wife Meghan Markle – and their pair struggled to adapt to royal life.

And in the Sussexes’ controversial Netflix docuseries, Harry & Meghan, the couple take aim at William and recall a flashpoint that Harry claims left him furious and his wife in floods of tears. It came when Harry says he did not give his permission for a joint palace statement to be put out dismissing bullying claims – and says a wedge was driven between the pair.

Speaking over clips of the brothers playing in an old fire truck and newspaper headlines about the acrimony in their relationship in episode five, Harry said: “I mean, the saddest part of it was this wedge created between me and my brother so that he’s now on the institution’s side.

“And I get, part of that I get. I understand right? That’s his inheritance, so to some extent it’s already ingrained in him that part of his responsibility is the survivability and the continuation of this institution. That day, a story came out that part of the reason why Meghan and I were leaving was because William had bullied us out. And once I got in the car after the meeting, I was told about a joint statement that had been put out in my name and my brother’s name squashing the story about him bullying us out of the family.

“I couldn’t believe it. No one had asked me permission to put my name to a statement like that. And I rang M and I told her and she burst into floods of tears because within four hours they were happy to lie to protect my brother and yet for three years, they were never willing to tell the truth to protect us.”

Last week, Harry marked his 40th birthday and nobody could have quite predicted how his estranged royal relatives would publicly mark the day. But what played out was both King Charles and William taking to their official social media accounts to send on their regards. For the first time in three years, the Royal Family account shared a post on X that said simply: “Wishing The Duke of Sussex a very happy 40th birthday today!” The message was also accompanied by a picture of a smiling Harry and an emoji of a birthday cake.

Around an hour later, the same post was shared by the Prince and Princess of Waleses’ X account along with the message: “Wishing a Happy 40th Birthday to The Duke of Sussex!” Some will see the post as a surprise move given the unresolved tensions between the brothers, which has shown no sign of abating.

But according to royal biographer and editor-in-chief of Majesty Magazine Ingrid Seward, there was a big reason for the message. She told the Mirror : “King Charles would have celebrated his son’s 40th from a distance. Milestone birthdays are important to the royals. Whatever upsets Harry has caused would have been forgotten for the day.

“Even Prince William wished his brother Happy Birthday – even if it was through clenched teeth. He doesn’t trust him, but together with his family, he wished him the best on his milestone birthday.”

Loose Women’s Nadia Sawalha says she was “worried sick” after being taken into hospital recently in a terrifying health scare which she ‘wishes she’d dealt with earlier’

Nadia Sawalha was “worried sick” after being hospitalised in a recent health scare.

The Loose Women panellist, 57, shared a hospital bed snap this evening, saying that she wishes she had “dealt with it sooner” after undergoing a hysteroscopy.

The former Eastenders actress said she has been given the all clear after the procedure, which is to examine the inside of the womb.

“The only reason I’m posting these pics is because I want to catch your eye and urge you if you have been worrying about any symptoms you’ve been experiencing to bite the bullet and get yourself seen,” the Annie Palmer actress penned on Instagram.

She added: “Delaying things will only cause more worry.

“I’m not going to lie I’ve been worried sick myself recently but was given the all clear on Monday! I only wish I had dealt with it earlier, so I didn’t get myself into such a pickle.

“Don’t delay make the call. Get seen. You know it makes sense. Big hugs, love Nads xxx #womenshealth #hysteroscopy #wombwellness”.

Fans and celebrity pals were quick to send messages of support to the former BBC soap star.

One follower said: “Oh Nadia I’m glad you’re OK, but you’re so right, any worry is best dealt with straight the way so you can get on with your life, sending hugs.”

Another said: “Aww, I’m glad you got the all clear Nadia. I actually do need to speak my GP about a few things. And I will asap.”

A third penned: “So glad you took care of it! Gynae stuff is so daunting. Speaking from experience, my friends mum had womb thickness & bleeding & it all ended up ok, all the very bestest x”

Team GB swimmer Eleanor Robinson sent Nadia some hand clapping emojis, while author Laura Belbin added: “Pleased you’re all okay.”

The recent health scare comes after Nadia discovered she was at a “moderately high risk” of becoming prediabetic during a live episode of ITV ‘s Loose Women in 2018.

And although Nadia jokes that his endless talk of healthy eating grew tiresome, she now credits him for helping protect her from the disease.

Speaking on Loose Women previously, she said: “After his diagnosis, Dad was religious with his food and when I was younger I used to think, ‘Oh God, if I hear one more thing about green vegetables and blood sugar,’ but it all went in by osmosis.

“I really admire my father for working so hard to manage his type 2 diabetes and now all that knowledge he has passed down to me is in play now.”

Denise Welch was vocal on Wednesday’s episode of the popular ITV daytime panel show as they discussed the scale of the next royal occasion, which is set to be the coronation of the King

Loose Women panelist Denise Welch has urged King Charles to “read the room” when the plans are drawn for his coronation to be officially crowned as the new monarch.

The actress, 64, was vocal on Wednesday’s episode of the popular ITV daytime panel show as they discussed the scale of the next royal occasion, which is set to be the coronation of the King, following the 10 days of mourning following the death of Queen Elizabeth II at the age of 96 on Thursday, September 8.

Host Jane Moore asked the panel consisting of Welch, Linda Robson and Brenda Edwards for their opinions about the grandeur of the King’s upcoming coronation.

Robson believed that the crowning ceremony should follow similarly to the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee where there were celebrations with localised street parties. Welch agreed with her co-star and explained the reasoning behind her “scaled back” view and also put in a “request” to the new King.

She said: “I think it’s all has been quite a lot, this last 10 days, but I think that it definitely will be a celebration.

“But I think that Charles, hopefully as the new King, will read the room and realise that although the money spent on this type of pageantry and pomp obviously brings a lot of revenue into this country, I think that it should be a slightly scaled back affair.

“And like you say, celebrated more with the street party. Also please, can I put a request into King Charles that it’s just one day because I found that, you know, a lot – 10 days of a media blackout.”

Welch was not scared to voice her dismay during the 10 days of mourning when she took to Twitter after an event she was involved in was cancelled. She ranted about the UK’s decision to cancel and postpone all events following the passing of Her Majesty.

Public and private events alike, including music concerts, were postponed in respect for the Queen and the extended Royal family – but Denise clearly was not entirely on board with the idea.

She wrote: “My friend has been forced to cancel a small charity event I was involved in raising money for people struggling to feed their families in Manchester. Many months of preparation. This is total insanity after the suffering of the last few years and I adored the Queen!!”

During an appearance on Tuesday’s This Morning, Vanessa Feltz told hosts Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield that she doesn’t think Prince Harry’s upcoming book will ‘deliver the nastiness’

Vanessa Feltz was quick to defend Prince Harry on Tuesday’s This Morning as she spoke about reports of him rewriting his upcoming ‘bombshell’ book.

The 60-year-old broadcaster joined Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield in the ITV studio to discuss the latest headlines, and it wasn’t long before the conversation turned to the royal family.

Holly, 41, began the chat by saying: “According to reports, the King saw flickers of hope in his recent interactions with the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.

“I mean a lot of people were hoping when you saw the fab four together, maybe this will be the beginning of some sort of friendship, sort of olive branch, reaching out…”

Vanessa then chimed in and said: “Well so did I, I saw flickers of hope, they’re only human! I saw flickers of hope! Look, Harry and Meghan didn’t have to say yes when they were asked to join William and Kate on that walkabout.

“Now we hear rumours from America that Harry is trying to rewrite the book. I knew that would happen, I was sure it would happen.

“I was sure he couldn’t follow his grandma’s coffin in the same way that he followed his mother’s, shoulder-to-shoulder with the only brother in the world who understands what the two of them were going through and go home completely unchanged by that, how could anyone? He’s only human,” Vanessa continued.

“And I just thought he’d go back and he’d try and rewrite and we hear that he is and I hope it’s true, and King Charles would see the flickers and embers of love that are actually there.”

Vanessa was discussing the latest headlines with Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby

She went on: “I think the book might be very very honest about Harry’s own personal feelings about when he lost his mother and his personal feelings about being in the army, and he just won’t say the horrible things that everyone hopes he will – I don’t – I hope he won’t.

“And I just think you know that’s a book by him, it will deliver, but it won’t deliver the nastiness. And I think if there was any in it, he’ll take it out now,” Vanessa added.

Loose Women star Janet Street Porter has warned Prince Harry that it’s a ‘dangerous’ time to write his memoir following the loss of his grandparents and his father’s accession to the throne

Janet Street Porter has warned Prince Harry it is a “dangerous” time to write his memoir.

The Loose Women panellists gave their verdict on the Duke of Sussex’s ‘tell-all’ and ‘explosive’ memoir, which was due to be released by Penguin Random House in December. It is believed the memoir – which has been described as ‘heartfelt’ – will be released later now following the passing of Harry’s grandmother Queen Elizabeth II.

Prince William said to be ­”increasingly uneasy” about the content of the memoir. Janet gave her verdict on the timing of the memoir, urging Harry to reconsider writing it now.

Speaking on the ITV lunchtime show, she said: “What I think about Prince Harry is that writing this book now is a very dangerous project because his father has lost both parents in the last year and his father has a new job.

“Whether he’s the King or whatever, he’s got a new job. His brother has also got a new job and with that comes an enormous amount of responsibility, and if you care anything for your siblings and your close family who are still alive, you have to consider the impact of what you’re going to say. I understand that Harry does feel hurt… but is now really the time?”

It comes after Janet suggested it would be better for Harry to pen and release the memoir when his father’s no longer around.

A better time might be when his father’s no longer around. Speaking from my own experience, I wrote a memoir about my mother and why we didn’t get on and I waited until my mum and dad were dead and even then, there were people in my family that didn’t like what I wrote,” she explained previously, “I wrote about my mother and I found it cathartic.

Janet urged Harry to change his mind (

Coleen also agreed, adding: “If I was a friend or a relative, I’ve got to be honest, I’d say, ‘Not now Harry, not now. Wait.’ I think it’s too soon with everything else that’s gone on. I definitely don’t think he should be thinking about things with his grandmother, our Queen, being the age she is and being hurt by so many things recently being said and done.”

The paedophile Rolf Harris spent his final days living as a recluse – a million miles away from his former life as a TV star

Paedophile TV presenter Rolf Harris made a final plea to his daughter Bindi before he died aged 93. Harris, once a household name for shows like Rolf’s Cartoon Club and Animal Hospital, was arrested in 2013 as part of Operation Yewtree.

He was found guilty of 12 indecent assaults on four teenage girls across a period ranging from 1968 to 1986, although one charge was later overturned. He was sentenced to five years and nine months in prison for his crimes, before being released in 2017.

Withdrawing from public life, the disgraced star battled severe illness in his expansive home, which he shared with his wife, Alwen, who recently died from a stroke at the age of 93. It was neck cancer and “frailty of old age” that led to Harris’ own death in May last year, reports the Mirror.Before he died, he implored his 58 year old daughter to care for her mother, telling her: “I always believed we would go on longer together but, if I go first, promise you’ll take good care of your mum.” Reports at the time indicated that his wife Alwen was receiving round-the-clock nursing care as she battled Alzheimer’s Disease.

In recent years, Alwen had been seen in a wheelchair and, according to a 2017 statement, her health was severely deteriorating. It is believed that she resided in the family home with carers attending to her until her passing. Alwen and Harris first crossed paths in the early 1950s while they were both studying at an art school in Kennington.

The couple exchanged vows at St Saviour’s Church in Paddington in 1958. Upon his charges, Judge Mr Justice Sweeney stated that Harris had exploited his celebrity status and exhibited “no remorse”.

Hollywood legend Dame Joan Collins didn’t mince her words while appearing on The One Show as she put a stop to Alex Jones’ proposition of going to a Taylor Swift concert

Dame Joan Collins quickly shut down a suggestion made by The One Show presenter Alex Jones as she attempted to encourage her to see Taylor Swift live.

The legendary icon appeared on Friday’s edition of the popular evening show with hosts Alex and Roman Kemp at the helm. Sharing snippets of her extraordinary life on the famous red sofa, Joan left everyone in the studio awestruck including guests Adeel Akhtar and Chesney Hawkes.

But when asked which famous person would be considered a modern-day icon, Joan was quick to praise singer Taylor. She admitted: “Taylor Swift is a great example to young people! I like the way she dresses, I like her attitude towards life and I suppose she’s an icon. But I’ve never seen her.”

Alex chimed in and said: “Oh! You must go, you’ll have a great time.”

Finding the funny side to Joan’s remarks, Alex said Taylor would be happy to fly to her personally to perform. Roman also backed up his co-host and agreed.

As well as Joan’s personal stories, fans at home were impressed with how well the 91-year-old star looked. Heading over to X formerly known as Twitter, viewers were swooning.

One spectator wrote: “Ninety-one. Ninety flamin’ one! Joan Collins is a legend. Still switched on and very interesting. What a life she’s led. The positive side of living to a ripe old age.”

Another penned: “Yes Joan. You’re amazing. Class and elegance.”

A third viewer gushed: “Joan always looks amazing! Always beautifully dressed.” A fourth added: “Joan Collins is 91? She looks amazing!”

English actress Joan is famously known for her iconic roles in soap opera Dynasty. She played the role of vengeful schemer Alexis Carrington Colby from 1981-1989.

In 1997, she was awarded the Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE) for services to drama. As well as this, she is also the recipient of several accolades, including a Golden Globe Award, a People’s Choice Award, two Soap Opera Digest Awards, and a Primetime Emmy Award nomination.

Loose Women star Denise Welch has made a bombshell allegation about a major member of the Royal Family, as she and her co-stars discussed the upcoming release of Amazon Prime’s A Very Royal Scandal

Denise Welch, a panellist on Loose Women, dropped a sensational claim about a high-profile member of the Royal Family during an episode of the ITV programme.

The discussion centred around the upcoming Amazon Prime drama ‘A Very Royal Scandal’, which delves into Prince Andrew’s notorious BBC Newsnight interview concerning his connections with Jeffrey Epstein. With Michael Sheen portraying the prince, anticipation is high for the show’s success on the streaming platform.

Denise was eager to recount her own interaction with Prince Andrew, describing him as a “narcissist” and alleging he made “disrespectful about Princess Diana” remarks about Princess Diana. Her fellow panellist Linda Robson echoed this sentiment, labelling the prince “arrogant” based on her own experience.

The panel also touched upon the speculated “watch party” that Prince Andrew is said to be organising for the release of the miniseries, expressing disbelief at the idea of him inviting friends over to view the controversial portrayal.

Denise commented: “We have heard rumour that Prince Andrew is having a viewing party with his pals. Now you would think, ‘Why would you want to be seen going through that?’ But in my personal experience of the odd time I’ve met him, he is a narcissist,” reports the Mirror.

She added with incredulity: “So it wouldn’t surprise me at all if he was going to have his friends round and celebrate what was an absolute disaster!”

Linda Robson shared her unvarnished opinion: “I’ve met him a couple of times at events that I’ve been to, and he comes across as quite an arrogant man. I don’t know if you remember he was walking around Buckingham Palace grounds and two policemen stopped him, and he was quite rude to them.”

“He said, ‘Don’t you know who I am?’ So I think he’s let the Royals down, he really really has. So I won’t be watching.”

In upcoming screen news, Ruth Wilson is set to portray BBC journalist Emily Maitlis in a drama opposite Michael Sheen. This follows the documentary Andrew: The Problem Prince, delving into the events surrounding the controversial 2019 interview, which aired last year.

Netflix previously depicted the story in its film Scoop, where Rufus Sewell took on the role of Prince Andrew and Gillian Anderson became Emily Maitlis, with Billie Piper also featuring in the cast.

As reported by The Independent, A Very Royal Scandal takes significant creative liberties one vivid scene depicts Prince Andrew at a shooting party where Sarah Ferguson’s character, played by Claire Rushbrook, pointedly questions him about his guilt.

The X Factor winner and singer Alexandra Burke, 34, appeared on Loose Women three months after giving birth to her first child with her footballer boyfriend Darren Randolph, 35

Alexandra Burke broke down in tears as she explained the reason she’s kept her baby’s name and gender a secret.

The singer, 34, appeared on Loose Women three months after giving birth to her first child with her footballer beau Darren Randolph, 35.

In August, Alexandra stunned crowds at Notting Hill Carnival just weeks after welcoming her baby as part of the ‘Pumps on Parade’ campaign.

However, The X Factor winner has not publicly revealed her baby’s name or gender and when quizzed on the reason why, broke down in tears.

She explained that, while she had chosen to be in the spotlight by taking part in the ITV talent show back in 2008, her family hadn’t and said that the impact of her fame on them had been “hard”.

“I come from X Factor and I’m very grateful for the platform,” she said. “In the process of being who I am […] the impact on them is hard.”

As she began to cry, Alexandra continued: “They never asked for it, I asked for it… I want to protect the baby as much as I can.”

She continued that she would let her child decide when they were older whether they wanted to join her in the spotlight.

Earlier, she said that her life had completely changed after becoming a mother for the first time.

Alexandra told the panellists: “Oh life has changed! Sleep is a thing of the past. I’ve never felt so content in my life and I’ve never known love like this. It’s overwhelming and I don’t know how to put it into worlds… I’m so happy.”

Announcing the news of her child’s birth, Alexandra posted a picture of her little one’s feet on Instagram and wrote: “Welcome to the world our little grape, we already love you more than words can say.”

Her celeb pals soon rushed to the comment section to congratulate her on becoming a mum.

Motsi Mabuse typed: “Congratulations Mama all the best”, while Love Island’s Samira Mighty said: “Yay, congratulations!”

The X Factor winner revealed she was pregnant in a post earlier this year, with her having teased their little bundle of joy was due to arrive over the summer.

The footage also showed her partner – who is a goalkeeper for West Ham United – kissing her growing tummy. Another scene showed the couple rubbing her baby bump.

The post was captioned: “Due June 2022.” It prompted messages of congratulations from fellow celebrities such as presenters Alison Hammond, 47, and Amanda Holden, 51.

The couple later expressed gratitude over the response, having received “so many beautiful messages and well wishes” from supporters following their announcement.
